The Federal Transit Administration has allocated $657 million in federal funding to support ferry infrastructure upgrades and service expansion across the United States. The funding will be distributed through federal ferry grant programs administered by USDOT.
The program will fund the construction and modernization of ferry terminals, procurement of new vessels, and development of new ferry routes. Projects will also include accessibility upgrades and improvements to passenger facilities.
The funding is federally sourced and will be awarded through a competitive grant process. Eligible applicants must submit proposals by May 11, 2026, outlining project scope, benefits, and implementation plans.
