PENDING A DISCUSSION ON HOW TO
INTEGRATE THE TWO PRESENTATIONS
Expanded CVISN Deployment Strategy

Cafeteria Approach

Funding Plan

Updated State
Program Plans
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
5
Cafeteria Approach
Question

How do we ensure that a “critical mass” of
states deploy a capability that requires a multistate approach (e.g., driver data sharing)?
6
Funding Approach

SAFETEA proposed $125 million
over 6 years for state CVISN deployments
 All
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

$1,132,832
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
8
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
9
Funding Approach (continued)
Match Requirements
Example of potential funding for a $2 million
expanded CVISN project
$600,000 , 30%
Federal ITS
Funds
$1,000,000 ,
50%
State
Funds/Services
Other Federal or
State Funds
$400,000 , 20%
10
Funding Approach (continued)
Questions

What types of contributions should be
eligible towards a state’s match towards
Federal CVISN deployment funds?



State personnel time?
Equipment?
How do states track their contributions?
11
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

12
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
13
Funding Approach (continued)
Question

Would states prefer to receive their
expanded CVISN funds in a “lump sum” or
over 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
14
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
15
Updated State Program Plans
Question

What other type(s) of support would
states required to complete their updated
CVISN Program Plans?
16
Expanded CVISN Program Management

Performance
Measures

Communication Plan

Training Plan

Architecture
Conformance
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)
18
Performance Measures
Questions

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?
19
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?

Communication Strategy
State CVISN Summaries
21
Communication Strategy
Questions

Are there other components that should
be included in the communication strategy?

Are there specific communication outlets that
should be included in the strategy?
22
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
23
Training Plan
Questions



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?
24
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)
25
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
26
Architecture Conformance (continued)
Question

How should architecture conformance be
ensured?
