The federal Project Grant award, totaling $135,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) Grants program (CFDA 20.235). The purpose of this grant is to recruit and enroll qualified students and members of underserved communities in the awardee's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. The award, with a performance period from August 26, 2024, to September 30, 2026, will enable the awardee, Nordic Enterprises (doing business as Western Pacific Truck School), to expand access to commercial driver safety education and reduce crashes involving commercial motor vehicles. Nordic Enterprises has a history of securing multiple CMVOST grants totaling $333,429 to support this objective, with a focus on providing training opportunities to traditionally underserved populations.
