About this opportunity
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) Grant. The grant aims to provide financial assistance to states and eligible entities to improve the national Commercial Driver's License (CDL) program, focusing on the "One Driver - One License - One Record" concept. Key objectives include enhancing CDL testing systems, improving data exchange, developing training programs, implementing fraud prevention measures, and supporting digital infrastructure for driver licensing. Eligible applicants include state governments, tribal governments, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, budget analysis, program-specific criteria, past performance, and considerations of racial equity and sustainability. The application deadline is July 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
The total funding authorized for this opportunity is up to $88.7 million, with FMCSA anticipating approximately 55 awards ranging from $35,000 to $7.3 million, typically between $500,000 and $3 million. The period of performance is from the year of award through September 30, 2029, with no matching fund requirements. The program focuses on transportation-related activities that support the national commercial driver's license system.
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.
