The purpose of this award to the georgia department of driver services is multi-pronged

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded the Georgia Department of Driver Services $1,420,832 through the Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation Grant (CFDA 20.232) on September 30, 2025, for a four-year performance period concluding September 30, 2029. This project grant funds a multi-faceted initiative to enhance highway safety and strengthen Georgia's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) system through comprehensive training, stakeholder collaboration, and regulatory compliance activities.

The award supports three primary service areas: (1) improving highway safety by developing and delivering training programs for law enforcement and court/judicial personnel; (2) ensuring proper training and oversight of CDL third-party skills testers in accordance with federal regulations; and (3) enhancing the overall integrity and compliance of Georgia's CDL program. These services align with the national "One Driver - One License - One Record" mandate and support FMCSA priorities including testing system integrity, data quality improvements, fraud prevention, and examiner training. The Georgia Department of Driver Services will deliver these services through collaborative partnerships with relevant stakeholders across law enforcement and the judicial system.

The department aims to improve highway safety through training and collaboration with law enforcement and court and judicial personnel. Additionally, the department will ensure the CDL third-party skills testers are properly trained and monitor testing activities per federal regulations.
