GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY SIGNALS START OF GREEN' MARINE HIGHWAY PROJECT $30 Million in Federal Recovery Act Dollars Pays for New Three-Port Partnership

摘要

The Obama Administration's continuing commitment to a more efficient and green US transportation system moved forward on October 26,2010 as Maritime Administrator David T. Mat-suda joined other federal, state, and local officials at the Port of Stockton to officially break ground on California's new Green Trade Corridor. The $30 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant will help develop a viable waterborne shipping route between Oakland, Stockton, and West Sacramento, which immediately creates a new transportation alternative to conventional freight and cargo movement in Northern California.
