FMCSA Opens FY25 Grant Application Cycle  
FMCSA Opens FY25 Grant Application Cycle   

Today, FMCSA announced Notices of Funding Opportunity and opened the fiscal year (FY) 2025 application cycle for three discretionary grants. Grant applications are now due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 20, 2025. 

These grants, which could total more than $90 million, will fund projects that advance the development and delivery of motor carrier safety training to non-Federal employees and provide commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operator training to future commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders. 

Funding opportunities are available through the following programs:  
  

  • High Priority Innovative Technology Deployment (HP-ITD) Grant Program - supports innovative and impactful projects that advance the technological capability and promote the deployment of intelligent transportation system applications for CMV operations. The grant program also aims to support/maintain CMV information systems/networks to link Federal motor carrier safety information systems with state CMV systems; improve safety and productivity of CMVs and commercial drivers; increase driver notification systems (including truck parking and work zone notifications); and reduce costs associated with CMV operations and regulatory requirements.  
     

  • High Priority Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety (HP-CMV) Grant Program - funds CMV safety-related activities that increase public awareness and education on CMV safety, target unsafe driving in high-risk crash corridors, demonstrate new technologies to improve CMV safety, improve safety data, and other projects such as truck parking availability awareness and identification that help meet FMCSA’s goal of improving CMV safety nationwide.  
      

  • Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) Grant Program -funds organizations that train individuals in the safe use of CMVs.  The CMVOST Grant Program prioritizes training to current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including National Guard members and Reservists, as well as certain military family members.   
     

It is very important to note that any grant applications submitted during the application cycle previously open from December 19 to February 3 must be re-submitted under the new notices of opportunity.  

More information about application process as well as eligible applicants and projects can be found on FMCSA’s website.
