DOT’s Maritime Administration announced the availability of $9.5 million in grant funding for the America’s Marine Highway Program (AMHP).
AMHP aims to provide new and efficient transportation options, increase the productivity of the surface transportation system, and reduce landside congestion by supporting greater use of the Nation’s navigable waterways.
In addition, AMHP collaborates with public and private organizations to create and sustain American jobs in U.S. ports, vessels, and shipyards.
Projects eligible for grants are those that have been previously designated Marine Highway Projects by the Secretary of Transportation.
The deadline to submit application for AHMP is 5:00 p.m. EST on April 10, 2020.
