Marine Highway News

On August 11, 2010, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood identified 18 marine corridors, 8 projects, and 6 initiatives for further development as part of “America’s Marine Highway Program.”  In addition, the Maritime Administration made available $7 million for which these projects will be able to compete through a Notice of Funding Availability.  Please see the entire press release at www.marad.dot.gov

The Marine Highway Program was fully implemented in April 2010 through publication of a Final Rule in the Federal Register (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-7899.pdf).  The Secretary’s designations were made pursuant to the Final Rule, as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. 

The Final Rule (MARAD-2010-0035) for America’s Marine Highway Program was published April 9, 2010.
