The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded a $127,400 Project Grant under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) Grants program to Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) on August 26, 2024. The purpose of this grant is to recruit and enroll qualified students, with a focus on members of underserved communities, in DMACC's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. The grant will support tuition and training services for 15-40 students to complete CDL programs and become safely trained commercial vehicle operators. This aligns with the CMVOST program's objective to expand the number of CDL holders with enhanced operator safety training in order to reduce the severity and number of crashes involving commercial motor vehicles on U.S. roads.
