Opportunity Summary:
The North American Fatigue Management Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTMC75-10-H-00003) is a U.S. Department of Transportation initiative administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in partnership with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA). Structured as a cooperative agreement, it is meant to directly support FMCSA's safety mission by developing a practical, standardized Fatigue Management Program (FMP) that can be used across the North American commercial motor vehicle industry. The program is intended to be applicable to all motor carriers, regardless of company size, and designed for broad use throughout the United States and Canada.
At its core, the project focuses on reducing fatigue-related safety risks among commercial vehicle operators by creating a fatigue management framework that blends education, awareness, and intervention strategies. The envisioned FMP would include information and training materials to help drivers and motor carriers recognize fatigue, understand its causes and consequences, and apply countermeasures that can prevent fatigue from turning into crashes or safety incidents. In addition to training and awareness, the opportunity emphasizes the need for interventional countermeasures, meaning concrete steps and operational practices that can be adopted to manage fatigue more effectively. The project also requires an empirical assessment of the program's effectiveness, signaling that FMCSA and CCMTA expected data-driven evaluation rather than relying only on general guidance or best practices. Finally, the effort includes developing strategies to support industry-wide implementation, indicating the program is not just meant to be created, but also positioned for adoption at scale across carriers and stakeholders.
This funding opportunity was classified as discretionary and fell under the Transportation activity category, specifically tied to CFDA 20.239 (Motor Carrier Research and Technology Programs). The award was planned as a single grant, with one expected award totaling $400,000. The funding structure set the award ceiling and floor both at $400,000, indicating the project was scoped for a fixed amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was not open competition. The notice states the cooperative agreement would be awarded on a sole-source basis to CCMTA, meaning other organizations were not eligible to apply for this specific award. The posting and closing timeline was extremely short: it was posted on May 26, 2010, and closed on May 27, 2010, then archived on May 28, 2010, which aligns with the sole-source nature of the award rather than a typical competitive grant cycle.
