The federal government will be making billions of dollars of investments into green infrastructure in the coming years. From electric vehicles to offshore wind to hydrogen fuel cells, the time for ports to make investments in the next generation of infrastructure is now. AAPA has launched the POWERS Program to maximize these critical funds and steer sustainability investments of tomorrow.
Their work to draft legislative language, successfully advocate for bill passage, and continued work to ensure implementation is instrumental in achieving a fair and equitable allocation of funds.
Trade is essential to the economic well-being of our nation. AAPA has helped lead the charge in advocating for balanced policies that preserve and grow the benefits of trade and help ensure that importers, exporters, and other businesses are able to compete on a level playing field in global markets.”
AAPA has elevated and amplified seaport messaging on Capitol Hill. The cohesive, easy-to-understand, and consistent voicing of seaports’ concerns, needs, and the economic value we offer nationally and globally, is a powerful benefit to ports when we seek industry regulatory changes or exclusions, and when we bring specific key issues to Congress.
The AAPA has been a critical partner for me, my office and the PORTS caucus, to advocate for America’s Seaports. In this Congress alone, their voice has been important as Congress sought to understand and confront the supply chain crisis, to pass the IIJA, and to address other port priorities.
