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 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provided $2.25 billion for the PIDP program over five years (2022-2026), $450,000,000 of which was made available in fiscal year 2024. The FY24 Appropriations Act provided an additional $50 million for the FY24 PIDP. Therefore, a total of $500 million in funding is available to be awarded as discretionary grants for the FY 2024 PIDP grant program.

Applications for FY24 PIDP were due by May 10, 2024 at 11:59:59 p.m. E.D.T. For reference, the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) can be found here. The FY24 PIDP Grants.Gov funding opportunity can be found here.
