Project Description: The purpose of this award to the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation is for the Vermont Commercial Vehicle E-Permitting project, which will benefit the Motor Carrier industry by reducing labor costs by waiting for permit issuance, reducing turnaround time for most permits and providing the ability to purchase a permit anytime (not just DMV business hours).
Vermont Agency of Transportation - DMV
Award Amount: $840,000.00
Project Description: The purpose of this award to Vermont Agency of Transportation - DMV is the Tire Pressure Anomaly System project, which will benefit the motor carrier industry by enabling improved safety and compliance, tire longevity by intervention with underinflated tire before they go flat―reducing cost of tires and roadside repair and better enforcement screening capabilities.
The objective is to purchase and install a tire pressure anomaly system capable of detecting tire pressure anomalies in commercial vehicles as they travel across the sensors at inspection station ramp speed or main line speed. The system will transmit a photographic image of the power unit along with the location of the tire on the vehicle with the pressure anomaly. The unit will also be capable of reading the USDOT number marked on the commercial vehicle and transmit a response with carrier information to a logged in user.
Washington State Department of Transportation
Award Amount: $713,207.00
Project Description: The purpose of this award to the Washington State Department of Transportation is the Support Technician project, which will benefit the Motor Carrier industry by helping law enforcement focus resources on high-risk carriers and supporting the electronic screening system to maintain safe, free-flowing traffic and reduce the risk of collisions by having fewer vehicles pulling in and out of weigh stations.
West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles
Award Amount: $336,000.00
Project Description: The purpose of this award to the West Virginia (WV) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the Maintenance of Effort for CVIEW and the IRP System Maintenance projects, which will benefit the Motor Carrier industry by enabling expanded capability of the State’s CVIEW, which is required for core ITD compliance, continued improvement of the quality of data used within the CVO network (i.e., accuracy, timelines, and security of the data.), leveling of the playing field for safe and legal carriers, cost savings due to faster inspections and the development of the modernized systems with full integration will allow for more transparency in the application and credentialing process for the industry.
Project 1 Description: The goal of this project is to expand the State’s CVIEW functionality through ongoing maintenance of effort and enhanced network connectivity efforts to ensure CVIEW availability. The objective of this project is to provide Federal funding for the reimbursement of WV Public Service Commission (PSC) for use of their connection to CVIEW. The WV DMV intends to reimburse WV PSC the prorated amount of the quarterly invoices for the maintenance of communications necessary to allow data transfer from the CVIEW to SAFER through the current connectivity method.
Project 2 Description: The goal of this project is to pay the necessary maintenance fees to the vendor to ensure that the system remains working at its optimal efficacy. The objective of this project is to use Federal funding to reimburse WV DMV the amount spent on annual maintenance fees for the IRP system for electronic credentialing. Electronic credentialing is required to maintain ITD Core Compliance, and maintaining compliance is the objective of this project. WV DMV pays annual maintenance fees to the vendor to cover constant system updates, routine maintenance to the system, and tech support when an unforeseen issue occurs.
Project 3 Description: This project will expand West Virginia’s w-Screening capabilities by installing automated USDOT reader, Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR), overview cameras, thermal imaging technology, WIM, and Automated Tire Pressure Screening (ATPS) at a fixed screening site on I-64 westbound near Mile Marker 39, West Virginia in Putnam County. This will include support and maintenance services for both the westbound and eastbound sites for 5 years.
Wyoming DOT-Highway Patrol
Award Amount: $160,000.00
