• Emerging Priorities in FMCSA Grants:

MCSAP Formula GrantPRISM Program Implementation

New allocation formula is coming..

Focus on performance (pilot)

High Priority GrantTraffic Enforcement (e.g., occupant fatalities & seat belt usage)

Roadside Enforcement of OOS Orders

Work Zone Safety & Rural Road Safety

Crashes involving Class 3 CMVs (10,001-14,000) where regulated…

Commercial Driver’s License Program Improvement GrantStates need to implement several Federal rules between CY2020-2022

Summary…looking forward
