Passenger Ferry Grant Program, Electric Ferry Program Proposals

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has issued a consultation seeking proposals for its Passenger Ferry Grant Program, with a specific emphasis on the Electric Ferry Program. This initiative aims to solicit input from stakeholders regarding potential projects that could advance the adoption of electric ferries, including infrastructure development and vessel modernization. The FTA is looking for innovative ideas to support the transition to cleaner and more sustainable ferry services across the nation.

Regulated entities, particularly those operating ferry services or involved in maritime transportation technology, should review the consultation details and consider submitting proposals. While no specific compliance deadline is mentioned for submitting proposals, interested parties are encouraged to engage with the FTA to understand the program's objectives and potential funding opportunities. This consultation represents an opportunity to influence the direction of federal support for electric ferry initiatives and potentially secure funding for relevant projects.
