Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 MCSAP Basic and Incentive Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FM MCG 13 001) is a U.S. Department of Transportation grant administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under CFDA 20.218, National Motor Carrier Safety. It is designed to provide financial assistance to U.S. states and U.S. territories to strengthen commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety efforts, with the overarching purpose of reducing both the number and the severity of crashes and hazardous materials incidents involving CMVs. The program emphasizes building and maintaining consistent, uniform, and effective safety programs across jurisdictions, which is a core theme of MCSAP: improving safety outcomes through standardized enforcement and safety practices rather than one-off or isolated initiatives.
This announcement is categorized as a discretionary grant in the transportation funding activity area. FMCSA anticipated making 56 awards, reflecting broad participation across state and territorial governments. The total estimated funding available was listed as $155,312,500, with individual awards expected to range from an award floor of $350,000 up to an award ceiling of $8,900,000. The program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal funds or resources as part of the overall project funding structure, consistent with how MCSAP typically operates to ensure shared investment in motor carrier safety.
Eligibility is limited strictly to state governments (and, as stated in the description, U.S. territories). The announcement explicitly notes that individuals and businesses are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this opportunity. The posting and creation date for the opportunity was July 13, 2012, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was August 1, 2012, with the opportunity archived on August 31, 2012. Applicants were repeatedly instructed to read the full announcement available under the "Full Announcement" tab before starting the application process, signaling that important details such as allowable activities, required components of the application package, selection criteria, and compliance expectations were contained in the complete notice rather than the brief synopsis.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice directed them to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 support (excluding federal holidays) via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or email at support@grants.gov.
