Opportunity Information: Apply for FM ETS 25 001
The FY25 High Priority Enforcement Training and Support (HP-ETS) Grant Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It is designed to fund activities that strengthen commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety by supporting high-priority enforcement training and related support efforts. In practical terms, the program focuses on improving the quality and reach of training and support functions that enhance CMV enforcement capability, with the broader goal of reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses through more effective safety oversight and enforcement-oriented capacity building.
This funding is being offered under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) number FM ETS 25 001, and awards will be made through cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement typically means FMCSA expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, such as collaborating on major project elements, providing technical direction, or closely monitoring implementation to ensure the work aligns with federal program goals. The program is categorized under the Transportation activity area and is associated with CFDA number 20.243, which is the federal assistance listing used to track motor carrier safety-related funding.
Eligible applicants for this opportunity are nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). That eligibility framing indicates FMCSA is specifically looking to partner with nonprofit entities capable of delivering training, technical assistance, and other support services aligned with HP-ETS priorities, rather than routing this particular opportunity through colleges or universities.
The application deadline listed for the original closing date is January 23, 2025. FMCSA anticipates making approximately three awards under this NOFO, with an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000. The ceiling represents the maximum amount that can be awarded per grant, and the small expected number of awards suggests a competitive process and the likelihood that funded projects will be relatively large in scale, high-impact in design, or national/multi-regional in reach rather than many smaller localized awards.
The opportunity was created on December 9, 2024, and the central purpose stated in the NOFO description is to solicit applications from eligible entities to support HP-ETS program activities. While the short summary provided does not list specific allowable activities, the title and program framing indicate the funded work is intended to bolster high-priority enforcement training and the supporting infrastructure that enables consistent, effective CMV safety enforcement. This can include efforts that improve how enforcement personnel are trained, how training resources are developed and delivered, and how support systems help translate training into stronger on-the-road enforcement outcomes.Apply for FM ETS 25 001
