Abstract:
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, November 15, 2021) (“Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” or “BIL”) appropriated $450 million to the PIDP for FY 2024 to make discretionary grants for eligible projects. On March 9, 2024, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-42) (“FY 2024 Appropriations Act”) appropriated an additional $120,460,124 for the FY 2024 PIDP grant program. Of that amount, $50 million is available to be awarded as discretionary grants. Altogether, a total $500 million in funding is now available to be awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (Department) for the Port Infrastructure Development Program (Program). This appropriations act allows the Department to make discretionary grants to improve port facilities at or near coastal seaports. The purpose of the Program is to accept applications to make grants. Submitted applications will be reviewed to determine if respondents meet the criteria for selection as grant recipients. The Port Infrastructure Development Program was established under 46 U.S.C. 50302. The statute authorizes the Department of Transportation (“Department” or “DOT”) to establish a port infrastructure development program for the improvement of port facilities. To carry out a project under this program, the Department may provide financial assistance, including grants to port authorities or commissions, or to their subdivisions and agents, for port and intermodal infrastructure-related projects. The Department seeks to fund projects that will advance Departmental priorities of safety, equity, Justice40, climate and sustainability, workforce development, job quality, and wealth creation, as described in the DOT’s Strategic Plan and executive orders. MARAD encourages applicants to propose projects that will improve safety, efficiency, or the reliability of the movement of goods through ports and intermodal connection to ports, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. Proposed projects must also create proportional impacts to all populations in a project area, increase equitable access to project benefits, support the creation of good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union, and include the incorporation of strong labor standards, training, and placement programs, especially registered apprenticeships.
