The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles $1,514,995 on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237) to fund four projects supporting commercial motor vehicle safety and data systems.

The award funds maintenance of effort for the Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window (CVIEW) system, including reimbursement to the West Virginia Public Service Commission for quarterly invoices covering communications connectivity necessary for data transfer from CVIEW to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) system. The award covers annual vendor maintenance fees for the International Registration Plan (IRP) system to ensure optimal operational efficiency, constant system updates, routine maintenance, and technical support.

The award also funds installation of automated safety screening equipment at a virtual roadside inspection station on State Route 2 in Mason County between Huntington and Point Pleasant near Apple Grove, West Virginia. Equipment includes automated USDOT readers, automated license plate readers (ALPR), and weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology, with an extended warranty. Data collected will support analysis of enforcement effectiveness and efficiency improvements.

The West Virginia Public Service Commission is partnering with West Virginia University to conduct a study on truck parking needs and solutions along key transportation corridors.

Performance extends through September 30, 2030, with all work performed in West Virginia.

The purpose of this award to the west virginia (WV) division of motor vehicles is for the maintenance of effort for the WV cview; IRP system maintenance; virtual roadside inspection station ? Route 2; and the truck parking information management system (tpims) projects. Project 1 objective: the goal of this project is to expand the state?s cview functionality through ongoing maintenance of effort and enhanced network connectivity efforts to ensure cview availability. The objective of this project is to provide federal funding for the reimbursement of WV PSC for use of their connection to cview. The WV DMV intends to reimburse WV PSC the prorated amount of the quarterly invoices for the maintenance of communications necessary to allow data transfer from the cview to safer through the current connectivity method. Project 2 objective: the goal of this project is to pay the necessary maintenance fees to the vendor to ensure that the system remains working at its optimal efficiency. WV DMV pays annual maintenance fees to the vendor to cover constant system updates, routine maintenance to the system and tech support when an unforeseen issue occurs. Project 3 objective: the goal of this project is to expand west virginia?s e-screening capabilities by installing automated usdot reader, automated license plate reader (alpr), weigh-in-motion (WIM), at a virtual or smart roadside inspection station site on state route 2, in mason county, between huntington and point pleasant, near apple grove, west virginia. The data collected can be used to data mine and determine the effectiveness of the new virtual inspection station in improving safety through targeted enforcement and boost efficiency of roadside enforcement assets. This project includes an extended warranty. Project 4 objective: WV public service commission (PSC) is partnering with west virginia university (WVU) to conduct a study conduct a study on truck parking needs and solutions along key transportation corridors. WVU will conduct a study on the current truck parking capacity. The study will determine the efficacy of current available parking, including how efficiently that parking is used, and any potential issues that may result from the current parking shortage. The study will record weekly usage and seasonal spikes over the course of a calendar year. WVU will also explore best practices from other states, to determine possible vendors, costs, and availability of technology. At the end of the study WVU will give wvpsc its recommendations on the best and most effective way to implement a tpims in WV.
