The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded the Kansas Highway Patrol $150,000 on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants program (CFDA 20.237) to complete an Intelligent Transportation Systems program plan and top-level design project.

The award funds planning and top-level design work to establish a scalable framework for commercial motor vehicle safety aligned with national intelligent transportation systems standards. Successful completion will equip Kansas to implement a plan that advances CMV safety, increases roadside enforcement efficiency, and positions the state for future FMCSA high-priority and ITD-related grant opportunities.

The Kansas Highway Patrol, a state law enforcement agency and child entity of the State of Kansas Office of Accounts and Reports, is the recipient. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2030. Work is performed statewide with administrative headquarters in Topeka, Kansas.

The Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants program supports states in advancing CMV safety through partnerships with state and local governments and other entities. The program funds demonstration of new technologies, safety data improvement, public awareness initiatives, and innovative projects that reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. HP-ITD awards specifically support deployment of intelligent transportation system applications. Eligible recipients must have an approved Program Plan/Top Level Design, certify consistency with national ITS architecture and standards, and commit to interoperability testing.

The purpose of this award to the kansas highway patrol is the ITD program plan and top-level design (PP/TLD) project, which will benefit the motor carrier industry by successful completion of this objective will equip kansas to implement a scalable plan that advances CMV safety, increases roadside enforcement efficiency, and ensures alignment with national intelligent transportation systems ? Ultimately strengthening the state?s position for the future fmcsa high priority and ITD related grant opportunities.
