Opportunity Information: Apply for FM MHP 25 005
The FY2025 High Priority Program - Innovative Technology Deployment (HP-ITD) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It focuses on strengthening and expanding the use of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies that support commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations. In practical terms, the program is meant to help states modernize, deploy, and sustain technology tools that improve how CMV safety and operational information is collected, shared, and used across state and federal partners.
The core objective is to advance technological capability and accelerate deployment of ITS applications tied specifically to CMV operations, including systems and networks used by commercial drivers and motor carriers. A major emphasis is on maintaining and improving CMV information system networks so they better link federal motor carrier safety information systems with state-level CMV systems. By improving interoperability and connectivity between federal and state environments, the program aims to support faster and more reliable data exchange, which can translate into better safety oversight, more efficient enforcement and compliance activities, and smoother day-to-day operations for regulated entities.
From an outcomes perspective, FMCSA is targeting improvements in both safety and productivity for commercial drivers and CMVs, while also helping reduce costs associated with CMV operations and regulatory requirements. Projects supported under this opportunity are generally aligned with the idea that smarter information systems can reduce duplicative processes, improve the quality and timeliness of safety data, and enable more informed decision-making by enforcement agencies and industry participants. Although the notice does not list specific project examples, the language clearly points toward technology deployment and ongoing support for information-sharing networks and CMV-focused ITS applications, rather than purely planning-only efforts.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which means state agencies are the intended applicants and implementers. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 20.237 and is administered by FMCSA as a grant. The funding opportunity number is FM MHP 25 005. The program anticipates making about 35 awards, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award, indicating that projects may range in size but cannot exceed that maximum amount.
Key dates included in the announcement show the opportunity was created on 2025-05-21 and has an original closing date of 2025-06-20. Applicants should plan around that deadline, including time for internal state approvals, required registrations, and the development of a project narrative and budget that clearly ties proposed technology deployment and maintenance activities to the program's goals: stronger CMV information system networks, better linkage between federal and state systems, improved safety and productivity, and reduced operational and regulatory burden costs.Apply for FM MHP 25 005
