Martha's vineyard and nantucket steamship authority (publicly owned term. & vessels)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Project Grant of $159,166.25 to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) on May 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The project focuses on the rehabilitation of critical maritime terminal infrastructure at the Steamship Authority's Vineyard Haven Terminal, specifically addressing the reconstruction and preservation of pier support piles, pier fendering systems, and concrete decking.

This project supports the FHWA's broader mission of maintaining and improving transportation infrastructure, in this case extending to publicly owned terminal and vessel facilities that serve as essential multimodal transportation hubs. As the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' designated transportation authority and central recipient of federal transportation funding, MassDOT administers the project to preserve and enhance transportation infrastructure accessibility across the state, including critical maritime connectivity to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
