President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Transit Administration is making available nearly $300 million through three grant programs that boost access to rural ferry service, bolster existing and new urban service, and lower emissions across all services by speeding adoption of zero emission ferry technologies.
The three grant programs, available through a combined Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), include:
The investment electrifying ferries is just one component of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s major investment in moving to electric transportation infrastructure – including $5 billion for clean school buses, $5 billion for low or no emission transit buses, and $7.5 billion to support the build-out of a national network of electric vehicle chargers.
Ferry service can be as important to everyday life as a highway or railway for many people across the country, whether in a small Alaskan community or a large metropolitan area. Thanks to the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this historic funding will bring ferry service to more Americans and make it safer and cleaner through modern, electric ferries
said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
