The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) announced Wednesday that $25 million in funding for America’s Marine Highway Program (AMHP) is available to support the development and expanded use of America’s navigable waterways and improve the country’s supply chains.
The new resources, allocated under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, represent the largest funding amount appropriated to the AMHP.
“America’s waterways are a vital means for getting goods onto our shelves and into our homes,” said U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Thanks to these investments, and others like them in the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we can help create jobs, reduce delays, and strengthen our critical supply chains for decades to come.”
