FY 2024 cdlpi grant program

The New Hampshire Department of Safety, doing business as Emergency Medical Services, has been awarded a $648,718 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The four-year grant, commencing on September 1, 2024, will support the state's efforts to comply with federal commercial driver's license (CDL) requirements and enhance the national CDL system. Key objectives include improving data quality and exchange, reducing fraud, enhancing testing integrity, and implementing human trafficking prevention programs. The grant funding will enable the department to modernize CDL testing systems, develop training programs, and upgrade digital infrastructure for driver licensing across New Hampshire. Through this CDLPI Grant award, the Department of Safety will work to ensure only qualified drivers receive and maintain commercial driver's licenses, in alignment with the federal "One Driver, One License, One Record" mandate.
