About this file
The document is an appendix listing U.S. Marine Highway Program Routes and their respective Route Sponsors across multiple states and territories. The comprehensive table includes 19 designated marine transportation routes, each with specific geographic coverage, including routes in Puerto Rico, Alaska, California, Oregon, Missouri River, Mississippi River, Great Lakes, and various coastal waterways. For each route, the appendix provides detailed contact information for route sponsors, including organization name, point of contact, title, email address, and phone number.
The route sponsors are predominantly state departments of transportation (DOTs), port authorities, and regional transportation commissions, representing a wide range of governmental entities responsible for marine transportation infrastructure. Notable route sponsors include California DOT, Oregon DOT, Mississippi DOT, Port of Portland, New York State DOT, and port authorities from territories like Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This document serves as a critical reference for identifying key maritime transportation contacts and route administrators within the U.S. Marine Highway Program, facilitating coordination and communication across different marine transportation networks.
