Two community colleges in Oregon have received federal funding to help veterans and others get commercial driver licenses. It’s part of a larger effort to address a massive shortage of professional drivers in the U.S. Klamath Community College was awarded $135,000 and Linn-Benton Community College got $130,000 to expand their CDL programs. In total, $3.5 million was awarded to 27 schools in primarily Iowa, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Oregon and Texas. The money comes from the 2022 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
