Federal Project Grant Summary

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) awarded Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) a $355,274 Project Grant under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237) to educate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety stakeholders and promote safe industry practices. The project deliverables consist of four editions of "Guardian," a publication available in both print and digital formats, designed to reach approximately 7,500 readers across the CMV industry and general public. The publication will feature solicited stories, news, and best practices targeting specific audiences through social media, email, and membership channels, with the objective of increasing safety knowledge and compliance awareness among CMV industry participants and the public in proximity to commercial vehicles.

The grant period extends from the December 1, 2025 award date through September 30, 2028, allowing CVSA—a Washington, DC-based nonprofit with extensive expertise in commercial vehicle safety and inspection programs—to execute a comprehensive public awareness and education initiative. This project aligns with FMCSA's mission to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses through targeted knowledge dissemination and promotion of uniform safety standards and enforcement practices within the CMV sector.
