Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 CDLIS Modernization Grant is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to help modernize the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS). The program is authorized under Section 4123 of SAFETEA-LU and is aimed at strengthening and updating the national CDLIS infrastructure that states rely on to share commercial driver licensing and related safety information. FMCSA highlights that the application submission requirements and instructions changed for FY 2010, and applicants are expected to follow the guidance in the full announcement before submitting.
The central purpose of the funding is to support upgrades that improve both security and information-sharing across CDLIS. Projects supported under this program can include adding additional security features, upgrading the communications network, integrating medical certificate information, improving state self-auditing capabilities, and expanding the system's overall ability to exchange information. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help states and other responsible entities keep CDLIS current with evolving security expectations and operational needs, while improving the accuracy and availability of driver information used for licensing decisions and safety enforcement.
For FY 2010, FMCSA planned to make up to $8,000,000 available in total, subject to funding availability. The opportunity anticipated about 25 awards, with individual awards ranging from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs as required by the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is primarily directed at state-level entities: agencies in each state (including the District of Columbia), as well as other organizations that are responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of a state's CDLIS programming and the CDLIS Central Site, may apply. FMCSA also noted a priority preference in awarding funds to states that did not receive CDLIS modernization grant funding in FY 2008 or FY 2009, indicating an effort to broaden participation and bring more states into the modernization effort.
Key timeline details include a posted date of September 13, 2009, and an application deadline of November 15, 2009 (the same as the original closing date). The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2010. The funding opportunity number is FMCSA-CDLIS-2010-01, and questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Brandon Poarch, Lead Transportation Specialist, at brandon.poarch@dot.gov.
