Description: Hear from the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) about current activities under the America’s Marine Highway Program. The America's Marine Highway Program, established by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, is a Department of Transportation- led initiative to expand the use of waterborne transportation while relieving landside congestion and reducing carbon emissions. The program is designed to focus on the integration of Marine Highways into the nation's surface transportation system, providing seamless transition across all modes by leveraging marine services to complement landside surface transportation routes.
