Opportunity Information: Apply for FM DTG 22 001
The FY22 Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training Program (CMVOST) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to support organizations that provide commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operator training. The overall purpose is to strengthen safety-focused training for current and future commercial drivers, helping improve on-road safety outcomes through better instruction, program capacity, and access to quality training. FMCSA issued this funding through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and noted that final award amounts depend on the funding Congress ultimately makes available.
A wide range of applicants are eligible, reflecting the many ways CMV training is delivered across the country. Eligible entities include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (including those that are not higher education institutions); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as further described in the NOFO. FMCSA specifically calls out training providers such as accredited public or private colleges, universities, vocational-technical schools, post-secondary educational institutions, truck driver training schools, associations, and state and local governments. In addition, FMCSA allows certain non-accredited schools to apply if they are recognized as eligible training providers by the U.S. Department of Labor for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding and are also approved by State Approving Agencies and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to accept VA education benefits. This structure is meant to include both traditional academic programs and workforce-oriented training pipelines.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a grant (not a contract) and is classified under the Transportation funding activity category. The program is listed under CFDA number 20.235. The funding opportunity number is FM-DTG-22-001. FMCSA anticipated making about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000 per award, indicating the program is designed to fund substantial training efforts rather than very small pilot projects. The NOFO was created on February 3, 2022, and the original application deadline was March 31, 2022.
The legal authority for the FY 2022 CMVOST program comes from 49 U.S.C. 31103, as modified by Section 23001(b) of Public Law 117-58, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (2021). By tying the program to this authority, FMCSA signals that the grant is part of broader federal efforts to invest in transportation safety and workforce readiness, especially in areas where training quality and availability can directly affect crash risk and safety performance.Apply for FM DTG 22 001
