The Federal Aviation Administration, Maritime Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation offers many funding opportunities, including grants (PIDG, BUILD, CRISI, PSG, AIP, EAS, SCASDP and INFRA) and loans (TIFIA and RRIF). They are designed to:

• Promote the modernization of and increase capacities at port cargo terminals

• Enhance airport safety, passenger and cargo capacity, security and environmental concerns

• Provide passenger air service on routes to smaller communities that are not commercially viable

• Facilitate the acquisition of modern cargo handling equipment that can improve efficiencies in port operations

• Reduce the impact of port and terminal related operations on climate and the environment

 

However, the complexity and competition for infrastructure funding has made it extremely challenging for port authorities, marine terminal operators and airlines to gain access to them.
