Opportunity Information: Apply for FM MHP 24 004
The FY 2024 High Priority Program-Commercial Motor Vehicle (HP-CMV) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Issued under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) number FM-MHP-24-004, the program is intended to solicit applications that support eligible High Priority (HP) program activities tied to commercial motor vehicle safety and related enforcement priorities. The program is rooted in Federal statute and regulation, specifically 49 U.S.C. 31102(l) (as updated by provisions in Public Law 117-58 from 2021) and implemented in line with 49 CFR part 350, which generally covers Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program-related requirements and administration. In practical terms, the HP-CMV program is one of FMCSA's mechanisms for directing competitive, targeted funding toward projects that strengthen oversight, compliance, and safety outcomes in the commercial motor vehicle space.
For FY 2024, FMCSA indicates it expects to award about $86.5 million in total when combining the HP-CMV program with a related program, High Priority-Innovative Technology Deployment (HP-ITD). HP-ITD will be offered through a separate NOFO, so applicants should not assume HP-CMV submissions are automatically considered for technology deployment funding unless they separately apply under the HP-ITD announcement. FMCSA also notes that actual award totals depend on Congressional appropriations, meaning the final dollar amount available could change.
This opportunity is offered as a grant (not a loan or cooperative agreement) and is categorized under Transportation. The associated CFDA number is 20.237. FMCSA anticipates making around 30 awards under this NOFO, and the listed award ceiling is $46,500,000, which signals that at least some projects could be relatively large in scope if they align strongly with FMCSA priorities and funding constraints. Because it is a discretionary competition, applicants should expect proposal quality, alignment with program goals, and demonstrated capacity to execute to matter heavily in selection decisions.
Eligibility is broad and spans multiple levels of government and qualified organizations. Eligible applicants include State governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; public and State-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding universities when they apply as nonprofits rather than as institutions of higher education). This range suggests FMCSA is open to funding both governmental and non-governmental entities, including academic partners, that can contribute meaningfully to commercial motor vehicle safety initiatives, enforcement support, and other high-priority safety activities consistent with the governing authorities.
Key timing details include an original application closing date of April 19, 2024. The opportunity record reflects a creation date of March 4, 2024, which is when the listing was established. Applicants would typically be expected to submit a complete package by the deadline and follow all NOFO instructions, including any requirements around project narrative structure, budget detail, performance measures, and documentation of eligibility or partnerships.
In short, FMCSA's FY 2024 HP-CMV NOFO (FM-MHP-24-004) is a competitive federal grant opportunity aimed at supporting high-priority commercial motor vehicle safety activities. It offers potentially significant funding, is open to a wide set of public entities and qualified nonprofits and universities, and sits alongside a separate but related innovative technology program (HP-ITD). The total funding landscape across both programs is projected at roughly $86.5 million for FY 2024, with final amounts dependent on appropriations.Apply for FM MHP 24 004
