Working Group scheduled to submit new formula recommendation April, 2017 5
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Grant Program Changes – Highlights Interim Funding Formula • Prior to development of new allocation formula (use in FY 2017 – FY2018?) Calculate funding using MCSAP formula used in FY 2016; PLUS Average funding awarded to a State for FY 2013, 2014, & 2015 for Border & New Entrant grant awards Federal share for FMCSA grant programs is now at least 85 percent. • States are required to establish a New Entrant Safety Audit Program • and participate in PRISM. Traffic Enforcement • States may use up to 10% for non-CMV enforcement Ensuring safe operation of CMV’s Must maintain average minimum level of CMV safety activities from FY 2004 & 2005 Higher percentage possible with Secretary approval 6
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Grant Program Changes – Highlights • Commercial Vehicle Safety Plans (required for MCSAP funds) CVSPs must be posted on FMCSA website within 30 days of approval Multi-year Plans may be submitted (FMCSA Beta testing this Fall) Must redact sensitive information the States request be removed • Enroute inspection of CMVs transporting passengers – weigh station excluded as acceptable location (unless imminent/obvious hazard) Bus station, terminal, border, crossing, maintenance facility, destination, or other location where a motor carrier may make a planned stop. • Non-Compliance Withholding Staggered for substantial noncompliance 5, 10, 25, then not more than 50% 7

MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Multi-Year CVSP’s • FMCSA released Federal Register notice October 20, 2016 Fourteen questions relating to length of plan and other important facets Received twenty-four responses from States and other stakeholders • Official responses will be posted in Federal Register In final review now • Break-out session to review beta-test plan Seeking ten States (have six) and one additional Territory Beta testing will start with FY 18 (this year). Three-year plan (goals, objectives, etc.) budget for Discussion/feedback during session 10
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 MCSAP Formula Working Group • Established: By Secretary 180 days after enactment. • Consists of: FMCSA, State lead agencies (must be 51% of group), an organization representing State agencies, and others • Submit Recommendations: For new MCSAP allocation formula within 1 year after establishment • Interim Funding Formula: Prior to development of new allocation formula – Calculate funding amount using MCSAP formula used in FY 2016 – Award average funding to a State for FY 2013, 2014, & 2015 for BEG and NE 11

MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Working Group –Timeline 13
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Working Group – Development Process Systematic process for formula design: • Establish guiding principles for the new formula • Identify areas in the formula to improve • Create alternative formula designs • Evaluate their impacts with respect to the guiding principles 11
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Working Group – Guiding Principles • Improves upon previous formula • Addresses FAST Act changes to MCSAP grants • Meets FAST Act formula requirements • Safety-based (primary objective) • Promotes stability in funding • Responds to changes • Uses quality data sources • Responds to changes in overall funding levels 12
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Effort - Focused Analysis • Considered previous MCSAP allocation formula’s design as baseline for improvement • Worked to analyze the elements of that formula and the data sources used for calculations • Considered impacts of the grant consolidation and new State match The actual percentage of the State match was not part of the Working Group’s charge as the FAST Act already set forth this amount • Worked to ensure the formula would continue to provide adequate funding for the programs now combined into the MCSAP Basic program 13
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Guiding Formula Principles • FAST Act requirements Relative State needs Administrative capacities and challenges New entrant motor carrier inventory Border inspection facilities and CMV border crossings • Safety-Based Centered formula recommendations on safety Aimed to reflect today’s safety challenges and maintain valuable safety gains Use safety-based factors correlated with crashes and linked to crash-risk exposure • Stability Considered various provisions to limit wide swings in State funding from year to year 15
MCSAP Planning Meeting and Grants Training – 2017 Working Group – I terative Process • Identifying and obtaining data sources • Evaluating data sources to determine if they met the criteria for formula inclusion, e.g. through statistical analysis • Reviewing and considering programmatic needs and trends • Understanding the varying administrative needs of grant recipients • Reviewing published reports and studies • Conducting simulations to evaluate funding impacts 20
