The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded the Iowa Department of Public Safety $1,999,685 on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants program (CFDA 20.237) to conduct a multi-agency strike force operation targeting commercial motor vehicle safety across Iowa through September 30, 2028.

The funded activities include increased roadside CMV driver and vehicle inspections, non-inspection traffic enforcement, focused multi-agency enforcement events, and education of local law enforcement partners. The project builds on lessons learned from a prior fiscal year 2023 HP-CMV grant and aims to reduce traffic crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities through broad-spectrum CMV enforcement activities statewide. Place of performance is Iowa. The Iowa Department of Public Safety administers the grant in partnership with local law enforcement agencies throughout the state.

The proposed project will continue the multi-agency strike force operation, in partnership with local law enforcement agencies across iowa, to increase roadside CMV driver/vehicle inspections, as well as related non-inspection traffic enforcement. This will help with state's commitment to reduce the number of traffic crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities. Incorporate improvements learned through the implementation of the FY23 HP-CMV masfo grant by conducting focused multi-agency enforcement events, broad spectrum CMV enforcement activities across the state, and education of local law enforcement.
