U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration awarded $1 million to nine commercial driver’s license (CDL) training facilities to improve safety training courses. The funding is part of the Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Operator Training Grant Program. Included in the training facilities were seven technical and community colleges and two state government facilities.

The CMV Training Grant Program is designed to make highways safer by increasing the number of CDL holders with enhanced safety training and to stimulate economically distressed regions by creating job training opportunities for individuals to become commercial vehicle operators.

The recipients of the CMV grant and funding received for 2010 are:
Arkansas State University, Newport, AR ($74,072)
Crowder College, Neosho, MO ($106,140)
