About the Grant:

The FTA Electric or Low-Emitting Ferry Pilot Program, created through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, helps communities transition to clean energy ferry fleets. It funds the purchase of all-electric or hybrid-electric vessels, shore-side charging infrastructure, and other technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The program supports coastal and inland ferry systems committed to climate action while enhancing service reliability and air quality for riders. Ideal for port regions like Los Angeles, it blends transit modernization with environmental stewardship.
