The funding spans three major projects across the ports of Savannah and Brunswick, focusing on power resilience, emissions reduction and rail system expansion.
The funding will be used for construction projects that will rapidly deploy housing structures in tribal communities experiencing high rates of homelessness.
The port will allocate the funds to procure electric equipment, build the infrastructure to support that equipment and advance the port’s goal to achieve zero-emissions operations by 2040.
The city will invest $48.7 million to reconstruct a series of critical roadways in order to support multimodal mobility, enhance traffic safety and revitalize transportation infrastructure.
The shift to zero-emission technology follows the 2018 Innovative Clean Transit Rule, which requires all public transit agencies in the state to convert their bus fleets to zero-emission vehicles by 2040
