The grants must be used for projects on federal-aid highways or a facility with reasonable access to such a highway or a freight facility.</p> <p>In providing grants, DOT must determine that </p> <ul> <li>there is a shortage of commercial motor vehicle parking capacity in the corridor in which the project is located;</li> <li> the eligible entity has consulted with motor carriers, commercial motor vehicle drivers, public safety officials, and private providers of commercial motor vehicle parking regarding the project;</li> <li> the project will likely increase the availability or utilization of commercial motor vehicle parking, facilitate the efficient movement of freight or improve highway safety, traffic congestion, and air quality; and</li> <li>the eligible entity has demonstrated the ability to provide for the maintenance and operation of the facility.</li> </ul> <p> To the maximum extent practicable, DOT must select grant projects that maximize the geographic dispersion of new commercial motor vehicle parking capacity across the United States.</p>]]></summary-text> |
