- What it does
- 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.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
