gov/PIDPgrants) ## Port Infrastructure Development Program The Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Maritime Administration. Funds for the PIDP are awarded on a competitive basis to projects that improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of the movement of goods into, out of, around, or within a port.
PIDP grants support efforts by ports and industry stakeholders to improve port and related freight infrastructure to meet the nation’s freight transportation needs and ensure our port infrastructure can meet anticipated growth in freight volumes. The PIDP provides funding to ports in both urban and rural areas for planning and capital projects.
It also includes a statutory set-aside for small ports to continue to improve and expand their capacity to move freight reliably and efficiently and support local and regional economies. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L.
117-58, November 15, 2021) (“IIJA”) provided $2. 25 billion for the PIDP program over five years (2022-2026), $450,000,000 of which has been made available in Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. In addition the FY 2026 Appropriations Act appropriated an additional $103,330,000 for the FY 2026 PIDP grant program.
Of that amount, $38,628,000 is available to be awarded as discretionary grants. Therefore, a total of $488,628,000 in funding is available to be awarded as discretionary grants for the FY 2026 PIDP grant program. For reference, the FY26 PIDP NOFO can be foundhere.
