Overview of Expanded CVISN Program

Program Goals

Program Areas

Expanded CVISN High Priority Capabilities

Stakeholder Recommendations

NOTE: THIS SLIDE IS A PLACEHOLDER PENDING A DISCUSSION ON HOW TO INTEGRATE THE TWO PRESENTATIONS

Expanded CVISN Deployment Strategy

Cafeteria Approach

Funding Plan

Updated State Program Plans

55

Cafeteria Approach States will be able to select the expanded

CVISN capabilities that they wish to deploy 2-3 priority capabilities identified by FMCSA 5-6 other stakeholder-identified high-priority

capabilities Broader list of expanded CVISN capabilities (38) Other CVISN-related concepts

66

Cafeteria ApproachQuestion

How do we ensure that a “critical mass” of states deploy a capability that requires a multi-state approach (e.g., driver data sharing)?

77

Funding Approach SAFETEA proposed $125 million

over 6 years for state CVISN deploymentsAll versions of Reauthorization legislation currently contain a

similar funding ceiling Each state will be eligible for a total of $2.5 million in

Federal CVISN deployment funds to support its core CVISN deployment

If states have already received Federal ITS funds for their core CVISN programs, they will be eligible for additional funds totaling $2.5 million less the funds already received

All state CVISN program managers will receive a summary of the Federal ITS funds already provided to their states’ CVISN programs

Funding Approach (continued)

New York Idaho

Status: Deployment Deployment

Federal ITS FundsReceived to Date:

$ 2,547,143 $1,367,168

Future Federal CVISN Funds for Core CVISN:

$0 $1,132,832

Future Federal CVISN Funds for Expanded CVISN:

$1,000,000 $1,000,000

Example of States’ Eligibility for CVISN Funds

99

Funding Approach (continued) Match Requirements

All CVISN deployments funds will require a 50-50 match Other Federal sources also can be used as part of a

state’s match State contribution to a project must be at least 20

percent of the project’s total budget

1010

$400,000 , 20%

$1,000,000 , 50%

$600,000 , 30% Federal ITSFunds

StateFunds/Services

Other Federal orState Funds

Funding Approach (continued) Match Requirements

Example of potential funding for a $2 million expanded CVISN project

1111

Funding Approach (continued)Questions

What types of contributions should be eligible towards a state’s match towardsFederal CVISN deployment funds? State personnel time? Equipment?

How do states track their contributions?

1212

Funding Approach (continued)|Expanded CVISN Funds

All states will be eligible to receive $1 million of Federal ITS funds to support their expanded CVISN programs

Year 1--$100,000 Year 2--$300,000 Year 3--$400,000 Year 4--$200,000

1313

Funding Approach (continued)Eligibility Requirements for Expanded CVISN Funds

State must be core CVISN compliant

State must have a CVISN program team comprised of representatives of all CVISN agencies and industry

State must update its CVISN Program Plan and have Plan accepted by FMCSA Year 1 funds ($100,000) can be used to update a

state’s CVISN Program Plan

1414

Funding Approach (continued)Question

Would states prefer to receive their expanded CVISN funds in a “lump sum” orover a four-year period Lump sum

Advantage—State would receive $1,000,000 in a single year Disadvantage—State may have to wait for a year or more before

they could receive their money

Four year funding horizon Advantages—All states receive funds ($100,000) in first year of

expanded CVISN funding; CVISN program plans being completed earlier in cycle will improve architecture review/compliance

Disadvantage—Yearly funding allotments may not be sufficient to deploy larger projects

1515

Updated State Program Plans Updated State CVISN Program Plans will document:

State’s expanded CVISN goals and objectives Expanded CVISN capabilities to be deployed Business case (state and industry) for deploying the

capabilities Expanded CVISN management plan State’s expanded CVISN performance measures

Expanded CVISN funding plan Expanded CVISN deployment schedule

FMCSA will provide the states with a template for the updated Plans

1616

Updated State Program PlansQuestion

What other type(s) of support would states required to complete their updated CVISN Program Plans?

Expanded CVISN Program Management

Performance Measures

Communication Plan Training Plan Architecture

Conformance

1818

Performance Measures FMCSA will evaluate the national CVISN

program using a series of performance measures Output measures (e.g., increased number of

electronic inspections, increased number of IRP registrations being shared with SAFER)

Outcome measures (e.g., improved motor carrier safety, improved law enforcement efficiency/effectiveness, improved motor carrier productivity)

1919

Performance MeasuresQuestions

What performance measures should FMCSA use to evaluate the national CVISN program? Outputs? Outcomes?

Who should take a lead in organizing stakeholder input on the national CVISN performance measures? CVFM? CVISN working groups?

2020

Communication Strategy Expanded CVISN Program will use a

multi-faceted communication strategy State-to-state peer exchange

CVISN program manager calls organized around regions or topics/capabilities?

Stakeholder policy/technical working groups Maintain expanded CVISN working groups? Use CVFM?

Industry input Working group of Trucking Association Executives?

Flexible communication outlets T-3 conference calls? State CVISN summaries?

2121

Communication StrategyState CVISN Summaries

2222

Communication StrategyQuestions

Are there other components that should be included in the communication strategy?

Are there specific communication outlets that should be included in the strategy?

2323

Training Plan Basic expanded CVISN concepts will

be included in on-line and T-3 training courses

FMCSA will offer states customized on-site training and/or technical assistance, as needed

2424

Training PlanQuestions

What topics should be included in expanded CVISN training courses?

Are stakeholders comfortable with “distance learning” techniques?

How will states train staff new to the CVISN program?

2525

Architecture Conformance FMCSA will develop and support the

necessary architecture and standards for the national expanded CVISN program

FMCSA will focus its efforts on capabilities that require national and/or multi-state deployments (e.g., safety, security, interstate commerce)

2626

Architecture Conformance (continued)

Compliance with the national architecture will be a prerequisite for using Federal CVISN deployment funds

FMCSA will consider compliance with the national architecture and standards when reviewing a state’s updated CVISN program plan

2727

Architecture Conformance (continued)Question

How should architecture conformance be ensured?
