About this opportunity
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation is offering the FY 2025 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) grant, with approximately $88.7 million in available funding. The objective is to provide financial assistance to states and other eligible entities, including state/local governments, tribal governments, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations, to carry out and improve the national Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program. Key focus areas include sustaining compliance with CDL regulations, improving data quality and accuracy, reducing fraud, enhancing testing integrity, and implementing human trafficking prevention initiatives. Applications must include detailed project narratives, budgets, and performance measurement plans, with a limit of four projects per application. The deadline for submitting proposals is February 24, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST.
FMCSA anticipates making approximately 55 awards, with funding available for use during the award fiscal year plus 4 succeeding years. The agency does not require any matching funds for FY 2025 awards. Recent CDLPI grants have ranged from approximately $50,000 to over $7 million, with most falling between $500,000 and $3 million.
Synopsis
The CDLPI program objective is to provide financial assistance to States and other eligible entities to carry out and improve the national CDL program. The national CDL program focuses on the concept that each driver has only one driving record and only one licensing document, commonly referred to as ""One Driver - One License - One Record."" Further, the national CDL program requires States to conduct knowledge and skills testing before issuing a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) and/or CDL; to maintain a complete and accurate driver history record (DHR) for anyone who obtains a CLP and/or CDL; and to impose driver disqualifications, as required by the regulations.
