To support that mission, the DOT Secretary challenged the Marine Transportation System National Advisory Council (MTSNAC) to find water-based solutions to our national transportation congestion problems and to begin the possible development of various MTS proposals. The MTSNAC will begin to develop strategies to identify impediments to the expansion of the Nation's Marine Highways and accommodate the Nation's projected trade growth over the next two decades. These strategies will link ports to regional freight corridors, reduce congestion near our ports, and promote environmental stewardship. The MTSNAC supports DOT's strategic plan by addressing the issues of safety, mobility, global connectivity, environmental stewardship, and security. The MTSNAC works with stakeholders around the country to address our marine transportation system's capacity, productivity, and overall security. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 Not Available e3102b97-0297-4551-bb9c-b9919bee5c3b 43e72a74-837d-4f4e-adc4-ee1d15ceea64 42e274b8-285d-4f13-b684-423a77380273 2010-10-01 2011-09-30 2013-07-09 http://explore.data.gov/resource/datasets/c5i3-bb9j Gannon (J.)
