About this opportunity
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is seeking applicants for the Fiscal Year 2025 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Grant. The objective of the program is to provide financial assistance to states and other eligible entities to improve the national Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program, focusing on the "One Driver - One License - One Record" concept. Key requirements include conducting knowledge and skills testing, maintaining accurate driver history records, and imposing driver disqualifications as mandated by federal regulations. Applicants must submit a detailed project narrative covering priorities such as implementing CDL regulatory rulemakings, correcting compliance findings, improving data elements, and addressing emerging issues like reducing CDL skills testing delays, preventing human trafficking, and enhancing fraud detection. The application deadline is July 7, 2025 at 5:00 PM ET.
For Fiscal Year 2025, approximately $88.7 million in funding is available, with FMCSA anticipating making around 55 awards ranging from $35,000 to $7.3 million, primarily targeting state governments, tribal governments, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. The grants will support transportation-related activities that enhance the national CDL system, with a performance period spanning the award year plus four fiscal years, ending on September 30, 2029.
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.
