The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is offering the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) grant to support essential, quality training for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators. This grant aims to significantly reduce the number and severity of crashes involving large trucks and buses on U.S. highways by enhancing driver behavior. Specifically, the CMVOST program seeks to expand the number of Commercial Driver’s License holders who possess advanced safety training. Additionally, it addresses economic needs by providing critical workforce training opportunities for qualified individuals in distressed regions to become CMV operators. Grant funds are specifically available for community colleges and truck driver training schools.
