Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot Program
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to establish an apprenticeship pilot program that would allow drivers between the ages of 18-20 with an intrastate commercial driver’s license to operate interstate commerce under very specific conditions.
To meet this requirement, FMCSA established the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot Program (SDAP). This three-year program will help individuals ages 18, 19, and 20 explore interstate trucking careers and help trucking companies hire and train new drivers through an apprenticeship pilot program. Carriers interested in participating must register an apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor. Click here for more information on the Safe Driver Pilot Program. Get started today by connecting with DOL's Transportation and Logistics Intermediary, FASTPORT.
