The U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration awarded the Oxnard Harbor District a $10 million Project Grant on September 2, 2025, under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) to fund planning and design activities for a three-level parking structure at the Port of Hueneme. The grant supports two primary components: (1) completion of environmental review documentation required for federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and state California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, and (2) delivery of a 90 percent design for the proposed parking facility, which will occupy approximately 14 acres and serve as an intermediary holding area for vehicles being transferred between oceangoing vessels and vehicle processing centers at the port.

This planning project is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2030, with no sub-award activities designated. As a discretionary award under the Port Infrastructure Development Program, the funding supports the port authority's broader infrastructure modernization strategy to enhance operational efficiency and safety at the maritime facility serving the Pacific Coast.

The structure will be designed to serve as a first point of rest for vehicles being transferred between oceangoing vessels and the vehicle processing centers used to prepare vehicles for their eventual transport from the port to their final destination. Activities to be performed the project components will involve environmental and design phases as described below. Component 1 environmental review nepa ceqa of the proposed parking structure for federal and state environmental regulatory compliance.
