Journal of Commerce: DOT Eyes Ports for Stimulus Spending
From Journal of Commerce:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Thursday that a “significant” amount of $1.5 billion in federal stimulus money will go for port infrastructure and related freight transportation projects. “We will have some for port enhancements. We’re receiving some significant proposals for intermodal projects, and what’s more intermodal than a port,” LaHood said to the House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation. He said the enhancements would include infrastructure to connect ports with the national transportation system. DOT is receiving proposals for spending $1.5 billion in discretionary money for transportation infrastructure that was included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. LaHood said the money will be used to expand capacity and relieve congestion.
