Biden-Harris Administration Announces New Freight Office and Major Progress Strengthening Supply Chains
FLOW provides greater transparency across supply chain networks, helping make our supply chain more resilient and adaptable in the face of major anomalies and changing circumstances. Through FLOW, DOT is serving as an independent steward of secure supply chain data across a largely privately-operated enterprise that spans shipping lines, ports, terminal operators, truckers, railroads, warehouses, and beneficial cargo owners. By providing a secure, shared view of the national logistics system without compromising sensitive proprietary information, including both supply and demand assets, participants can make more informed decisions regarding their capacity and supply chain planning. This is coupled with a record investment in our ports and waterways— nearly $17 billion— from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
