Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS)

What's New

On Thursday, July 10, 2008, the U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System approved the ”National Strategy for the Marine Transportation System:  A Framework for Action."  The strategy contains over 30 actions for federal agencies to address five priority areas: system capacity, safety and security, environmental stewardship, resiliency and long-term funding.

“The United States Marine Transportation System will be a safe, secure, and globally integrated network that, in harmony with the environment, ensures a free-flowing, seamless, and reliable movement of people and commerce along its waterways, sea lanes, and intermodal connections.”

[The National Strategy for the MTS, July 2008].
