Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) Notice of Funding Availability is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The core purpose of the program is to increase the number of Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders who have received operator safety training, with the broader public-safety goal of reducing both the frequency and severity of crashes on U.S. roadways involving commercial motor vehicles. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at supporting training efforts that strengthen safe driving knowledge and behaviors among current or prospective commercial drivers, which FMCSA links directly to improved highway safety outcomes.
This opportunity was posted on October 12, 2012, under Funding Opportunity Number FM-DTG-13-001, and it uses the grant funding instrument. It falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 20.235, Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Training Grants. Applications were due by December 10, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on January 9, 2013. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes that applicants should review the full funding announcement before starting the application process, indicating that key requirements, instructions, and selection criteria are contained in the complete NOFA materials.
In terms of available funding, FMCSA estimated a total of $1,000,000 for this funding cycle, with an expectation of making about 10 awards. Individual award sizes were structured with an award floor of $30,000 and an award ceiling of $220,000. This spread suggests the program could support a mix of smaller, targeted training projects as well as larger efforts that serve more participants or cover broader geographic areas, as long as they align with the safety-training objectives described in the NOFA.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost. The short listing does not specify the match percentage or what types of contributions are allowable, which is typically detailed in the full announcement. Applicants would need to confirm in the full NOFA whether match can be met through cash, in-kind contributions, partner support, or other allowable sources, and how match is documented and tracked for compliance.
Eligibility is relatively broad and includes many kinds of public, private, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. It also includes private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. On the private-sector side, both small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses are eligible, along with nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that particular category). This wide eligibility suggests FMCSA was open to funding training providers, educational institutions, governmental transportation or workforce entities, and other organizations capable of delivering CDL-related operator safety training at scale.
For applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating the electronic process, the listing directs them to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. The additional information link is labeled "FY 2013 CMVOST Notice of Funding Availability," which is where applicants would find the complete program guidance, required forms, application components, and any detailed instructions about project scope, performance expectations, reporting, match requirements, and evaluation criteria.
