“Passenger ferries are an important mode of transportation across the country, providing thousands of people with access to employment, education, and other critical needs,” noted K. Jane Williams, FTA’s acting administrator, in a statement.
The agency said those grants will fund projects to purchase, replace, or rehabilitate passenger ferries, terminals, and related infrastructure and equipment.
