The project proposes to decrease accidents by 10% by conducting traffic enforcement in high crash areas

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded the Village of Old Westbury, New York, $511,465 on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237) to conduct targeted commercial motor vehicle enforcement in high-crash areas.

The Village will conduct 450 CMV inspections, issue 1,600 citations, and place 200 vehicles out of service, targeting operators engaged in unsafe driving. The project aims to reduce accidents by 10 percent through focused enforcement operations in locations and times identified via the state's crash reporting system. The Village will double its CMV inspector capacity to support this expanded enforcement footprint. Performance occurs in New York, with a period of performance through September 30, 2028. The budget underwent reduction of $4,000 due to duplicative computer costs; the Village clarified that the vehicle should have included only a docking station rather than a third standalone computer.

The applicant proposes to conduct 450 inspections while placing 200 CMV s out of service and issuing 1600 citations. The applicant also proposes to increase CMV inspectors by double. The project proposes to utilize the state's crash reporting system to identify locations and times of crashes and to conduct focused operations targeting CMV s. The officers will target vehicles operating in an unsafe manner and conducting inspections and issuing citations to those vehicles. Reduction narrative ($4,000): budget included duplicative costs for the purchase of a computer for the vehicle due to language in the equipment and supplies cost categories. This may be a duplication for computer costs. The applicant informed fmcsa that vehicle should have been specified to only include a computer docking station and not a third computer.
