Alabama Port Authority Receives $38M Federal Transportation Grant
The U.S. Department of Transportation this week awarded $100 million to two Alabama transportation authorities to construct multi-modal transportation assets in Mobile, Alabama.
The Mobile Airport Authority (MAA) and the Alabama State Port Authority (ASPA) jointly competed for the opportunity to use the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Demonstration Program Grant to facilitate capital infrastructure improvements at the Port of Mobile and at the Mobile Downtown Airport (BFM). The competitive grant was authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act and is intended to increase the efficiency of freight movements by air, rail, highway, and water.
