Opportunity Information: Apply for FM MCG 21 001
The Fiscal Year 2021 Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) Planning and Application opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FM MCG 21 001) is a federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It is categorized as a transportation funding opportunity (CFDA 20.218) and is structured as a formula-based program that provides financial assistance to state governments. The core purpose is to help states reduce the number and severity of commercial motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities, and to prevent or mitigate hazardous materials incidents involving commercial motor vehicles. In practice, this funding supports state-level efforts that strengthen commercial vehicle safety oversight, enforcement, and related safety activities designed to improve outcomes on public roadways.
This opportunity was posted on May 29, 2020, with an original application closing date of August 7, 2020. The expected volume of awards is listed as 56, reflecting broad participation across eligible jurisdictions. While the program is described as formula-driven, it is presented in this listing under the discretionary opportunity category and uses the grant instrument type, meaning states apply through a formal planning and application process to access their funding. The award ceiling is listed as $32,000,000, indicating the maximum amount that may be available at the award level referenced in the notice, though actual allocations typically depend on the program formula and each state or jurisdiction's submitted plan and compliance with program requirements.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, aligning with MCSAP's role as a state-focused safety program. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening state capacity to carry out commercial vehicle safety strategies, improve enforcement and compliance activities, and ultimately reduce serious incidents involving large trucks, buses, and hazardous materials transportation.Apply for FM MCG 21 001
