The federal Project Grant award of $126,000.00 provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) Grants program (CFDA 20.235) is intended to recruit and enroll qualified students and members of underserved communities in Clark State College's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, with a final completion date of September 30, 2026, aims to expand the number of CDL holders with enhanced operator safety training to help reduce the severity and number of crashes involving commercial motor vehicles on U.S. roads. As a state-controlled institution of higher learning, Clark State College will leverage this funding to provide specialized CDL training and workforce development initiatives targeted at supporting underserved populations in the Ohio region.
