The proposed project aims to help reduce CMV speeding and crashes in oregon by measuring CMV speeds before and after high-visibility enforcement

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded Oregon State University $350,000 on December 1, 2025, under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237) to measure commercial motor vehicle speeds before and after high-visibility enforcement in Oregon.

Oregon State University will identify high-crash roadways in Oregon designated for CMV speed enforcement and collect vehicle speed data using LIDAR guns before and after enforcement activities. The data collection will track and record vehicle speed, distance, and vehicle type to analyze driver response to enforcement efforts and help reduce CMV speeding and crashes.

The period of performance runs from December 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, with all work performed in Oregon. This is a Project Grant assistance type, with the full $350,000 obligated at award.

The applicant will identify high-crash roadways in oregon for CMV speed enforcement and collect vehicle speed data before and after enforcement. Using lidar guns, the applicant will track and record vehicle speed, distance, and type to analyze how drivers respond to high-visibility enforcement efforts.
