Port Planning & Investment Toolkit
Port Planning & Investment Toolkit
Marine Highway Projects Module
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) has announced the launch of a new Marine Highway module of the Port Planning & Investment Toolkit (Toolkit), which helps U.S. ports plan, evaluate, and finance freight transportation projects. This is an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-execute Toolkit that helps guide ports toward fruitful investments. It was produced as part of a cooperative agreement between MARAD and the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA).
The marine highway module of the Port Planning & Investment Toolkit provides an overview of America’s Marine Highway Program and educates readers on how marine highway services can become designated projects by USDOT. It explains how to plan a new marine highway service, determine its feasibility, and identify possible funding mechanisms. This module of the Port Planning & Investment Toolkit will be updated periodically as new regulations and policies affecting marine highway planning, feasibility, and investment requirements related to the applicable laws discussed in the document are developed.
