CFP: America's Marine Highways

Mid-America Freight Coalition 

MARAD has released a call for projects (CFP) for America’s Marine Highways.

Eligible projects should establish new or enhance existing Marine Highway services that reduce landside congestion and increase the use of domestic marine transportation. Proposed projects no longer have to have parallel landside routes. While all applications must be sponsored and submitted by public entities, public/private partnerships are encouraged.

For more information, visit the MARAD CFP. Project applications are due September 30, 2016.
