Great Lakes Ports Call for Fair Share of Infrastructure Grants
The AGLPA has sent a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sharing concerns regarding the distribution of grant funds to U.S. ports. The PIDP program was first funded by Congress in 2019. Funds are distributed each year through a grant process. In 2023, The U.S. Department of Transportation distributed more than $653 million in PIDP grants. Great Lakes ports received 2% of the total, West Coast ports were awarded 42% and East Coast ports received 35%.
The AGLPA plans to work with Congressional members from the Great Lakes region and hopes to encourage the U.S. Department of Transportation to equitably fund Great Lakes ports.
