FY2025 Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI)

The Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation (CDLPI) grant program provides financial assistance to States and other eligible entities to carry out and improve the national CDL program. The program focuses on ensuring that only qualified drivers are eligible and receive and retain a CDL, and that each driver has only one driving record and only one licensing document. The program also aims to help States achieve compliance with FMCSA regulations concerning driver's licensing standards and programs. Some of the key priorities for this grant program include implementing or maintaining compliance with CDL-related regulatory rulemakings, correcting and mitigating CDL regulatory compliance findings, improving CDL data elements, and reducing CDL skills testing delays and wait times. Eligible applicants include State governments, county governments, city or township governments, Native American tribal governments, public and State-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, for-profit organizations, and non-profits. The application submission deadline is February 24, 2025, by 5:00 PM ET. • Key priorities: • Implementing or maintaining compliance with CDL-related regulatory rulemakings • Correcting and mitigating CDL regulatory compliance findings • Improving CDL data elements • Reducing CDL skills testing delays and wait times • Eligible applicants: • State governments • County governments • City or township governments • Native American tribal governments • Public and State-controlled institutions of higher education • Private institutions of higher education • Small businesses • For-profit organizations • Non-profits
