More Ferry Funds: Expanding Water Transport and Connections for Citizens

This act increases funding for passenger ferry and terminal grant programs, aiming to improve and expand ferry services across the United States. Citizens can expect better connections, more modern ferries, and easier access to water transportation, especially in rural areas and between U.S. territories. The changes also allow for hovercrafts to be considered ferries.
Key points
Increased Funding: Significantly more money will be allocated for building and modernizing ferries and ferry terminals, leading to better water transport infrastructure.
Expanded Services: New rules will facilitate ferry connections between U.S. territories and in rural areas, improving transport accessibility for residents.
New Technologies: Hovercrafts can now be funded as ferries, opening the door for faster and potentially more flexible connections.
Support for Green Ferries: The act includes provisions for pilot programs for electric or low-emitting ferries, potentially leading to cleaner transportation.
