NHTSA Publishes Graduated Driver Licensing Incentive Grant Program NPRM
On October 5, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding a state Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Incentive Grant Program [Docket Number NHTSA-2012-0137]. While the notice seeks public comment on the minimum qualification criteria for the State GDL grant program authorized under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21); AAMVA urges its member jurisdictions to begin discussions on how this incentive grant program can be leveraged to improve state GDL programs. It's important to note that changes jurisdictions make to their GDL programs now, can equate to qualifying for grant funding to further improve their GDL programs at a later date.
