A comprehensive driver training program includes not only instruction on driving and/or operating a particular vehicle, but would also include instruction on appropriate preventative maintenance. If you request a vehicle, you must certify that personnel who will drive and operate the requested vehicle meet or exceed the national standards for drivers/operators (fire vehicles NFPA 1002, EMS DOT or KKK standards). Be advised that NFPA 1002 requires that drivers pass physicals that meet NFPA 1582 as well as training requirements of NFPA 1001. This training may be accomplished via an established in-house training program or with grant funds added to the vehicle request. If you do not have an established driver training program or do not have a plan to obtain the training via this grant program or some other source, your application will not be eligible for funding.
