About this file
This document is a Questions & Answers document from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for the Fiscal Year 2025 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Funding Conference, held on January 15, 2025. The document provides clarifications on key grant application details, including project definitions, application limits, and eligibility. Specifically, the Q&A covers topics such as project versus activity distinctions (a project must have a distinct title, narratives, and budgets), application constraints (no more than four projects per application with no limit on activities), and applicant eligibility (501(c)(3) nonprofits are eligible).
The document also addresses the application timeline, noting that due to late re-posting, the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will only be open for 30 days (the minimum allowable period). Additionally, FMCSA announced that a previously planned web-based application template will not be available for FY 2025 due to technical difficulties, with hopes of its availability in the next fiscal year. Potential applicants are advised to refer to Section C of the NOFO for a comprehensive list of eligible entities and to understand the program's objective of improving the national Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program.

Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Commercial Driver’s License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Funding Conference Questions & Answers
The following questions were submitted to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) by attendees during the CDLPI Grant Funding Conference held on January 15, 2025.
During the funding conference, FMCSA answered several questions. Below are the answers that were provided during the funding conference. There were also questions that FMCSA did not have the opportunity to answer during the conference, those questions are below as well.
Questions and Answers
1. What is considered a project versus an activity?
A project consists of one or more priorities achieving an overarching goal and must contain a distinct title, separate/distinct project narratives, and separate/distinct budget narratives and line-item budgets (applications with multiple budgets must include a comprehensive budget).
For each project, you will list objectives to accomplish that goal. Under each objective, you must list activities that facilitate meeting your goal(s).
2. With respect to each application having no more than four (4) projects per application, is there a limitation to the number of activities per project?
No. There is no limit on the number of activities or deliverables it would take to accomplish a project.
3. Is there a reason why the timeline so much shorter than last year?
FMCSA strives to keep our NOFOs open for as long as possible. There is a requirement that allows NOFOs to be open for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 60 days. With the NOFO being re-posted so late, applications will only be accepted during a 30-day time limit.
4. Can we apply for this as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit?
Yes. Among the eligible entities for the CDLPI grant program are Nonprofits with 501(c)(3)IRS status (other than institutions of Higher Education). For a comprehensive list of eligible applicants, please refer to Section C of the NOFO.

5. Where do we find the template?
During the Funding Conference held on January 15, 2025, FMCSA announced offering a web-based application template. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, this is no longer an option for applicants to utilize in fiscal year 2025. We anticipate the template will be available in the next fiscal year.
