BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Louisiana will be receiving millions in federal funding to improve some of its ferries.
According to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the funding aims to make services better for communities that rely on ferries for work commutes, tourism and commerce. Thirty-five states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa will get $175 million through the Ferry Boat Program.
“We make life easier when we make the transportation of people and products smoother,” Duffy said. “In places like Alaska, our maritime highways are critical arteries for commuters and regional supply chains. From our skies to our roads, rail networks, and waterways, America is building again thanks to President Trump.”
A total of $8,493,115 will go to Louisiana. A breakdown of funding shows that the Louisiana Department of Transportation, Plaquemines Parish Ferry Department, St. Mary Parish Council and New Orleans Regional Transit Authority will receive federal money.
