Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 CVISN (Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks) Notice of Funding Availability is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The program is designed to help states strengthen and modernize the technology they use to support commercial vehicle operations and safety oversight. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at advancing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications that improve how commercial vehicle, commercial driver, and motor carrier information is collected, shared, and used across agencies and systems. The overall emphasis is on expanding technological capability and promoting broader deployment of interoperable information systems and networks that support commercial vehicle enforcement and safety programs.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number FM CVN 14 001 and is tied to CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) 20.237, Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks. The activity area is transportation, and the award instrument is a grant. FMCSA anticipated making approximately 15 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $30,000 up to a ceiling of $2,500,000, reflecting that projects could vary widely in size and scope depending on state needs, readiness, and planned implementation activities.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, meaning applicants needed to be state-level entities (often a state department of transportation, state motor carrier safety office, or a designated lead agency acting on behalf of the state). A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so states were expected to contribute non-federal funds as part of the total project budget. While the summary information does not specify the exact match percentage, applicants would generally need to plan for and document the required non-federal share as part of their application strategy and budget narrative.
From a timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted on January 30, 2014, with the application deadline set for March 31, 2014. The archived date was April 30, 2014, which typically marks when the listing is no longer active for new submissions on the federal portal. Applicants were expected to apply through the standard federal grants process, and the listing included an additional information link labeled "FY 2014 CVISN Notice of Funding Availability," which would normally contain the full program description, specific eligibility details, required forms, evaluation criteria, and the exact matching and reporting requirements.
For applicants needing technical help accessing or submitting the announcement electronically, the contact point provided was the Grants.gov Contact Center. Assistance was available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (excluding federal holidays), via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov. This support is generally focused on portal access and submission issues rather than programmatic questions, but it is the primary channel for resolving application system problems that could affect on-time submission.
