The group will comprise subject matter experts including legal counsel and compliance leaders from state driver licensing agencies, representatives from court systems, national organizations, and other stakeholders with experience in CDL policy, court processes, and FMCSA requirements.

Performance is scheduled from December 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030, with work taking place in Virginia. The award is a Project Grant assistance type with 100 percent federal funding available for eligible activities under the program.

The working group will include a diverse group of experts, including legal counsel and compliance leaders from SDLAS, representatives from court systems, national organizations, and other stakeholders with deep experience in CDL policy, court processes, and fmcsa requirements.
