Description
The goal of the National CDL Program supports the Department’s strategic goals and FMCSA’s mission by ensuring that only qualified drivers are eligible to receive and retain a CDL and focuses on maintaining the concept that each driver has only one driving record and only one licensing document, commonly referred to as "One Driver - One License - One Record." Further, States are required to conduct knowledge and skills testing before issuing a Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) and/or CDL; to maintain a complete and accurate driver history record for anyone who obtains a CLP and/or CDL; and to impose...
driver disqualifications as appropriate.
This NOFO provides important information about the FY 2020 CDLPI program activities/projects and guidance related to preparing and submitting a grant application. The FMCSA will award grants under this announcement in two separate categories, the CDLPI Basic Grants and CDLPI High Priority/Emerging Issues Grants.
