The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) a Project Grant of $556,840 on May 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The award funds rehabilitation and improvements to state-owned ferry infrastructure assets serving four island communities in Casco Bay: Chebeague, Great Diamond, Peak's, and Cliff Island.

These improvements are essential to maintaining safe and functional ferry service infrastructure supporting Maine's multimodal transportation network. The project represents a standard investment in transportation infrastructure preservation and safety enhancement, consistent with the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program objectives to support state transportation departments in maintaining critical transportation assets.
