Opportunity Summary:
The Off Highway Vehicle User Ethics Training and Safety and Access Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6116RA00015) is a discretionary federal grant issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (DOT-FHWA). It was posted on April 28, 2016, created the same day, and carried a single application deadline of June 27, 2016. The program sits under CFDA 20.219 and uses a Cooperative Agreement as its funding instrument, which typically means the FHWA expected to remain actively involved during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The central purpose of the award is to coordinate and support training and educational efforts aimed at improving off-highway vehicle (OHV) use through two closely related tracks: user ethics and safety/access. In practice, the funded work was intended to organize training programs and courses, and to develop related training products, that help riders understand responsible behavior, reduce conflicts, and promote safer operation and lawful, sustainable access to trails and riding areas. The description emphasizes that the outputs should benefit not only the OHV public but also federal, state, and local land management agencies, suggesting the effort was meant to be broadly usable across jurisdictions and adaptable to different land management contexts.
Funding was structured around a single anticipated award, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an expected awards count of one. This signals a relatively concentrated approach: rather than distributing smaller amounts to multiple local projects, FHWA was looking for one lead entity to coordinate training and product development at a wider scale, potentially creating standardized curricula, instructor resources, outreach materials, or course frameworks that agencies and partners could adopt.
Eligibility is listed in a general catch-all category ("Others"), with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the provided source text. Even so, the nature of the work and the cooperative agreement format implies FHWA was seeking an organization capable of national or multi-regional coordination, collaboration with land managers, and experience delivering OHV education or training-related programs. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building effort designed to improve OHV rider ethics, enhance safety, and support sustainable access by equipping both agencies and the public with consistent training programs and practical educational products.
