The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) received a $1,716,000 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237). The purpose of this award is to fund the Smart Roadside Systems Project, which aims to benefit the motor carrier industry by increasing tire longevity through intervention with under-inflated tires before they go flat. This is expected to reduce the cost of tires and roadside repairs, as well as enhance enforcement screening capabilities. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028.
