AAPA USDOT Grant Application Toolkit
This toolkit has been prepared by AAPA’s Port Professional Manager (PPM) candidates to help member port authorities navigate three USDOT competitive grant programs: PIDP, RAISE, and INFRA.

Port Planning & Investment Toolkit
AAPA, together with the Maritime Administration, brought together experts from around the port industry to develop an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-execute Port Planning and Investment Toolkit to help you get to the point of bidding out a plan for the repairs and upgrades needed to handle the immense demands currently and in the future.

Maritime Economic Development Committee
A key priority of AAPA's Maritime Economic Development Committee is access to public and private sector capital. Ports need more public and private-sector funding assistance for major port infrastructure investments, ranging from marine terminal upgrades and industrial property developments, to connecting road, rail and waterside infrastructure with port properties.
