About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration is seeking applicants for the United States Marine Highway Grants program, which provides funding to mitigate landside transportation congestion, expand transportation options, and generate public benefits by supporting designated Marine Highway projects. Eligible applicants include state, local, and Tribal governments, as well as private sector operators of Marine Highway Projects. Projects must provide a coordinated alternative to landside transportation, mitigate congestion, promote Marine Highway Transportation, or use documented vessels. Applications will be evaluated based on demonstrating the need for the Project, expanding the benefits of Marine Highway Transportation, measuring Project support, and leveraging Federal funding, with priority given to Projects that align with the Department's priorities of climate change, equity, and workforce development. The application deadline is July 12, 2024.
The United States Marine Highway Grants program has $4,850,000 in available funding for Fiscal Year 2024. The program aims to realize public benefits and external cost savings by awarding grants to qualified applicants to implement designated Marine Highway projects.
Synopsis
The United States Marine Highway Program (USMHP), codified at 46 U.S.C. 55601, was originally established by Section 1121 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to reduce landside congestion through the designation of Marine Highway Routes. The USMHP statute authorizes the U.S. Department of Transportation ("Department" or "DOT") to make grants to implement Projects or components of Projects that 1) provide a coordinated and capable alternative to landside transportation; mitigate or relieve landside congestion; promote Marine Highway Transportation; or use vessels documented under 46 U.S.C. chapter 121; and 2) develop, expand, or promote Marine Highway Transportation or shipper use of Marine Highway Transportation.
