All Counties – Contributed – The Arkansas State Highway Commission has announced that the next application cycle for the Arkansas Commercial Truck Safety and Education Program (ACTSEP) will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
ACTSEP is a grant program that funds truck safety and education efforts through cooperative public/private programs that focus on increased enforcement, regulatory compliance, industry training, and educational programs to enhance the safe movement of goods on Arkansas highways.
ACTSEP was the first program jointly involving the trucking industry and the Arkansas Department of Transportation to improve commercial truck safety on state highways.
The program is funded with $2 million collected annually from a 15 percent additional registration fee applied to trucks operating in Arkansas and meeting specific requirements for interstate commerce. These funds can only be used for truck safety and education efforts.
Applications are available here and must be submitted by Thursday, April 30 at 4 p.m.
