National Association of Publicly Funded Truck Driving Schools

We are honored to be one of the recipients of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training grants. This will provide tuition dollars to our military, veteran and certain family members for CDL training, as well as underrepresented students. Here are some photos from last Thursday's press conference. Forty-five percent of our students self paid over $3000 in tuition last academic year, sometimes taking months to save up. Grants like this help us get our learners into the workforce sooner. Thanks to U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and our PCC teams who worked tirelessly to pull off all the logistics for this press conference. Special thanks to Ian Roark, Cicely (Levingston) Waters, Vinn White, our student graduate, Doreen, and Arizona Department of Transportation Kyle U. for speaking during the conference.
