Securing Smart Investments in our Ports Act

This bill would require the Port Infrastructure Development Program to spread its project selections fairly across different U.S. regions, instead of concentrating them in just a few places. It applies both to the main port and intermodal improvement program and to assistance for small inland river and coastal ports and terminals, directing that these choices ensure equitable geographic distribution among regions.

Key points:

• Who is affected: communities with ports, including small inland river and coastal ports and terminals.
• What changes: project selections must ensure an equitable geographic spread among U.S. regions for these port programs.
• When: the text does not set a specific start date in the provided language.
