The Department of Transportation (DOT) has complementary roles in ensuring that the marine transportation system will be able to meet the challenges ahead by assuring the safety and environmental soundness of marine transportation, and in supporting a strong U.S. maritime industry and an integrated marine transportation system nationwide. In the past, policy development and oversight of maritime commerce and industrial activities was shared within DOT among the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the Maritime Administration (MARAD), and the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation. With the transfer of the USCG as an entity to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on March 1, 2003, MARAD will become the principal advocate within DOT for an integrated waterborne transportation system and Federal programs supporting the marine mode. MARAD has developed this strategic plan laying out a course of action and accomplishment for the fiscal years 2003 - 2008 in three strategic areas: commercial mobility, national security, and environment.
