050 Objectives: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) objective is to fund State programs designed to improve the overall quality of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) data in accordance with the FMCSA State Safety Data Quality (SSDQ) measures, specifically to increase the timeliness, efficiency, accuracy and completeness of processes and systems related to the collection and analysis of large truck and bus crash and inspection data. The Safety Data Improvement Program grant purpose has been incorporated into the FMCSA Motor Carrier Safety Assistance formula grant program and the FMCSA High Priority grant program due to changes in FMCSA’s authorization under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. No. § 114-94, §§ 5101(a) and 5101(c) (2015), 49 U.S.C. §§ 31102(a)-(k), 31104 (2016), as amended). Awards are no longer being made under this CFDA; however, pre-existing grants will remain active until project completion and/or period of performance on the individual grant agreements expires. For more information on this change, visit FMCSA CFDA number 20.218.
