摘要：	The Ohio Department of Transportation has announced the recipients of its 2022 Maritime Assistance Program (MAP) grant awards, including more than $5.1 million for projects in public port districts along the Ohio River. Awards on the inland waterways went to the Columbiana County Port Authority for $1,113,139 on behalf of three of its tenants and to the Monroe County Port Authority for $4 million for construction of a dock and mooring cells. The Ohio General Assembly created the program in 2020 to increase cargo handling on Ohio's waters. MAP awarded funding to companies with projects on the Ohio River and Lake Erie. The initial round included $18.8 million in funding, with a second round of funding for $4.19 million. The legislature funded the program for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 with $23 million for infrastructure improvements, said Mark Locker, project manager for freight, maritime and logistics for ODOT's Office of Statewide Planning and Research. The grant requires a 50 percent funding match. Penny Traina, executive director of the Columbiana County Port Authority, said the grant program was the first significant source of ODOT funding dedicated exclusively to water-based freight infrastructure in decades.
