Opportunity Information: Apply for FM ETS 22 001
The Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement Training and Support Grant (Funding Opportunity Number FM ETS 22 001) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaborating on planning, oversight, performance reporting, or refinement of deliverables) rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the transportation funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 20.243.
The purpose of the grant is to strengthen commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety by supporting high-quality enforcement and compliance training for non-federal personnel who carry out CMV safety work. The opportunity is aimed specifically at nonprofit organizations that can both run effective CMV enforcement and compliance training programs and successfully reach the intended audience of CMV safety enforcement employees. In practice, that target population would include the kinds of professionals who perform roadside inspections, conduct investigations, complete compliance reviews and audits, and otherwise enforce safety rules in the CMV environment. The emphasis is not only on delivering training content, but also on demonstrating the organizational credibility, networks, and practical ability to enroll and engage the enforcement workforce that needs the training.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). Applicants are expected to show established expertise in CMV enforcement and compliance training for non-federal employees, along with a clear plan for involving and influencing the relevant community of CMV safety enforcement staff. This is a key feature of the opportunity: it is not designed for groups that are new to this type of training or that lack access to the enforcement audience; it is designed for organizations that can demonstrate proven training capability and practical reach.
The notice highlights performance measurement expectations in two major areas. First are CMV Safety Improvement Indicators, which focus on tangible training outputs tied to safety enforcement capacity. Example indicators include the number of training courses delivered and the number of personnel who become certified or otherwise qualified to carry out CMV safety and enforcement activities such as inspections, investigations, and audits. These indicators are meant to capture how the funded work expands the pool of trained and credentialed enforcement professionals and, by extension, supports stronger and more consistent safety oversight.
Second are Innovative Approach Indicators, which are intended to measure how well the program uses diverse instructional delivery methods and modern learning strategies suited to adult learners. The opportunity calls for metrics that reflect the use of multiple delivery formats, including in-person and virtual methods, and it places special attention on the effectiveness of new techniques and approaches that improve learning and knowledge retention. That can include program design features, technology-enabled instruction, and other training assets that make instruction more accessible, scalable, or effective for working professionals. The underlying expectation is that applicants will not only deliver training, but will also be intentional about how the training is delivered and will evaluate whether these approaches actually improve outcomes.
In terms of funding scale, the award ceiling listed is $5,000,000, with an anticipated three awards. The opportunity was created on July 5, 2022, and the original closing date was August 19, 2022. Overall, the grant is structured to build CMV enforcement and compliance capability through nonprofit-led training programs that can demonstrate reach, measurable training outputs, and a thoughtful, data-informed approach to adult learning that includes effective use of in-person and virtual instruction.Apply for FM ETS 22 001
