Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement Training and Support

Objective

The objective of the HP- ETS grant program is to train non-federal employees who conduct CMV enforcement activities in accordance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR), and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) Out-of-Service criteria; and to develop related training materials to increase awareness and education on CMV safety and otherwise improve CMV safety. These activities are supported in alignment with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s strategic objectives of: a. Safety: Make our transportation system safer for all people. Work toward a future where transportation-related serious injuries and fatalities are eliminated, and public health improved. b. Economic Strength and Modernization: Grow an inclusive and sustainable economy. Invest in our transportation system to provide American workers and businesses reliable and efficient access to jobs, resources, and markets reducing transportation-related disparities and burden in the environment. c. Equity: Address inequities. Support and engage people and communities to promote safe, affordable, accessible, and multimodal access to opportunities and services while reducing transportation-related disparities and burden in the built environment.
