The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded a $883,508 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Grant to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Grants and Contracts Division. The purpose of this 4-year project grant, effective September 1, 2024, is to procure IT consultants to support system development, maintenance, support, and administration of the state's commercial driver's licensing and sanctioning system. Funds will also be used to purchase outdoor work gear for CDL skills testing agents.
The CDLPI Grant program provides financial assistance to states to improve their commercial driver's license programs, with a focus on ensuring only qualified drivers receive and maintain CDLs. This includes conducting comprehensive knowledge and skills testing, maintaining accurate driver records, and implementing disqualification procedures per federal regulations. The Connecticut DMV will leverage this award to modernize its CDL systems and processes, enhance data quality and fraud prevention, and strengthen its capacity to administer CDL programs and enforce transportation safety standards.
