One of the primary purposes of the Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS), as stated in the CMTS Charter adopted in 2005, is to improve Federal Marine Transportation System (MTS) coordination and policies. The CMTS proposed in its approved 2008-2012 Business Plan to compile a comprehensive Compendium of Federal marine transportation programs. The 2012 Compendium is intended to be a helpful single-source foundational document of Federal MTS functions and programs. With these functions and programs identified and organized by Agency, the functions and programs may be more easily examined for possible integration and collaboration. The Compendium may also supports CMTS efforts to examine and identify gaps in marine transportation program development. The anticipated long-term outcome of this MTS program coordination effort is a streamlined, seamless and efficient framework of Federal marine transportation programs that, when executed by the various CMTS member Federal Departments and Agencies, will be done so in the most efficient and optimal way possible to maintain and improve the U.S. MTS. |
