President Biden’s visit to Baltimore underscores the administration’s commitment to investing nearly $3 billion in climate-friendly ports, aiming for a reduction in pollution and job creation.
The funding will electrify 55 port sites nationwide, including the Maryland Port, which is set to receive $147 million to enhance cargo operations, ensuring jobs while combating climate change.
Through the Clean Ports Program, administered by the EPA, these grants signify a pivotal move towards a zero-emission future at some of the busiest ports in the U.S.
As part of a broader clean energy initiative, the funding not only targets infrastructure improvement but also seeks to alleviate diesel air pollution, thereby promoting environmental justice.
