United States Marine Highway Program
Access This Resource:
Description:
MARAD’s Marine Highway Program aims to develop and broaden marine highway service options and facilitate their further integration into the current U.S. surface transportation system, especially where water-based transport is the most efficient, effective and sustainable option. The program also highlights the benefits, increases public awareness and promotes waterways as a viable (in some cases a superior) alternative to “landside” shipping and transportation options. The program does not directly operate marine highway services. Instead, it promote their use, efficiency and public benefits.
