Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 CVISN Notice of Funding Availability (Funding Opportunity Number FM-CVN-13-001) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The purpose of the opportunity is to provide Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) funding to states so they can strengthen and expand technology that supports commercial vehicle operations. In practical terms, the program is aimed at advancing states' technical capability and accelerating the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications that handle and share information related to commercial vehicles, commercial drivers, and motor carriers through coordinated information systems and networks.
This grant is open only to state-level government applicants, including the District of Columbia and U.S. territories, and eligibility is specifically tied to governance within a state's CVISN framework. The eligible applicant must be the state agency designated as the lead agency in the state's CVISN Program Plan and Top Level Design, meaning FMCSA expects the applicant to be the officially recognized entity responsible for planning and overseeing the state's CVISN implementation. This requirement signals that the program is intended to fund coordinated, statewide CVISN efforts rather than isolated projects proposed by agencies that are not the designated CVISN lead.
The opportunity falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.237 (Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks). FMCSA anticipated making about 25 awards under this notice. The estimated total funding available was $25,000,000, with individual awards expected to range between a floor of $1,000,000 and a ceiling of $2,500,000. The announcement also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants needed to plan for a non-federal contribution as part of their project financing.
Key timing details for this particular funding cycle include a posted date of September 10, 2012, with the application closing date set for November 19, 2012, and an archive date of December 19, 2012. Because the notice repeatedly emphasizes reading the full announcement, the core program expectations, eligible activities, evaluation criteria, cost share specifics, submission requirements, and other compliance details were intended to be taken directly from the full NOFA documentation available through the announcement materials.
For support, the listing directs applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically to the Grants.gov Contact Center at 1-800-518-4726 (available 24/7 except federal holidays) or by email at support@grants.gov.
