* Federal share not to exceed 80% of the total cost of the project for which a grant is awarded. [§ 11402(b)(2)] This is a new program established under IIJA.
### Research and Grant Awards * study how ports and intermodal port transfer facilities would benefit from increased opportunities to reduce emissions at ports, including through the electrification of port operations; * study emerging technologies and strategies that may help reduce port-related emissions from idling trucks; and * coordinate and provide funding to test, evaluate, and deploy projects that reduce port-related emissions from idling trucks, including through the advancement of port electrification and improvements in efficiency, focusing on port operations, including heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and other related projects.
[§ 11402(a)(1)] * The Secretary shall award grants to fund projects that reduce emissions at ports, including through the advancement of port electrification.
[§ 11402(b)(1)] ### Coordination with other Federal Agencies * to the maximum extent practicable, leverage existing resources and programs of the Department and other relevant Federal agencies; * and coordinate with other Federal agencies, as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

[§ 11402(b)(4)(B)] ### Treatment of Projects * Treats every project funded under the program as if it were located on a Federal-aid highway. This ensures applicability of Davis-Bacon wage requirements that apply to other projects on Federal-aid highways.
