Improvement projects at 31 ports in 15 states and one U.S. territory will be funded by nearly $580 million in grants through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
These funds are intended to increase capacity and efficiency at coastal, Great Lakes and inland river ports, according to a U.S. Department of Transportation news release.
Additional expectations include a strengthened supply chain, workforce development, lower costs, reduced emission and improved safety.
“Modernizing America’s port infrastructure is essential to strengthening the multimodal network that supports our nation’s supply chain,” said Maritime Administrator Ann Phillips. “This funding enhances the flow and capacity of goods moved, bolstering supply chain resilience across all transportation modes and addressing the environmental and health impacts on port communities.”
According to the U.S. DOT, supply chains accounted for more than 80% of the fall in inflation in 2023, while its Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) partnership was utilized to minimize supply chain disruptions during the Port of Baltimore closure.
