FY 2027 Crash Causal Factors Program

The FY 2027 Crash Causal Factors Program (CCFP), solicitation number FM-CCFP-27-001, is a cooperative agreement administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Department of Transportation. The program provides supplemental funding to eligible state and local law enforcement agencies to collect advanced crash data, specifically focusing on fatal crashes involving Class 7/8 heavy-duty trucks. This initiative aims to establish a national database of commercial motor vehicle crash data to inform safety management decisions and develop effective crash countermeasures. The total program funding is 7,000,000 dollars, with an expected 30 awards and an individual award ceiling of 500,000 dollars per award. The period of performance extends from the year of award plus three years. Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by December 28, 2026. The selection process involves a multi-stage review by FMCSA subject matter experts based on technical criteria, budget cost analysis, and past performance, with final approval granted by the FMCSA Administrator. Eligible applicants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Awardees are subject to risk assessments per 2 CFR 200.206 and must comply with strict non-discrimination clauses, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, recipients must address physical and cyber security risks and are prohibited from using DOT funds for LiDAR technology from designated Chinese military companies without prior approval.
