What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)'s Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) Basic and Incentive grant programs provide financial assistance to States and U.S. Territories to reduce the number and severity of crashes and hazardous material incidents involving commercial motor vehicles (CMV). MCSAP strives to achieve this goal through consistent, uniform, and effective CMV safety programs. FMCSA announces this grant opportunity based on authorities provided for in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy of Users (Pub. L. 109-59). Sections 4101 and 4106 of SAFETEA-LU authorize the Motor Carrier Safety Grants funding. MCSAP Basic and Incentive grants are governed by 49 USC 31102-31104 and 49 CFR Part 350. The Agency will inform applicants if new authorizing legislation changes its grant programs for FY 2012.
