Port Infrastructure Development Grants

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) offers grants for projects that improve port resiliency to address sea-level rise, flooding, extreme weather events, earthquakes, and tsunami inundation, as well as projects that reduce or eliminate port-related criteria pollutant or greenhouse gas emissions. Funded projects may include:

• Port electrification or electrification master planning;
• Development of port or terminal micro-grids;
• Worker training to support electrification technology; and,
• Electric vehicle charging or hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

Eligible applicants include state and local governments, tribal governments, public agencies, and special purpose districts with transportation functions. For more information, see the DOT PIDP website.
