FuturePorts Information

FuturePorts is laser-focused on advocating for policy, regulations, and legislation that supports the competitiveness of our ports. We accomplish this through the preparation of white papers, coalition-building, regular meetings with regulators and legislators and key agency and legislative staff, speaking at hearings, submitting comment letters and taking positions on legislation and new regulations during rule-making, and representing our members on working groups and committees tasked with addressing port-related issues. We keep the emphasis on economic growth and job protection/creation while also demanding strong environmental protections from port capacity-building efforts .
