The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) last week announced the American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative, a new effort to bolster the country's supply chain through a high-visibility dashboard that connects major ports and cargo hubs to ocean carriers, transportation companies and retailers.
"A more transparent supply chain will accelerate cargo processing, lower logistics costs and empower America's transportation workforce," USDOT officials said in a press release.
The agency is calling on Congress to include necessary legislation in this year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to authorize USDOT to create role-based access for specific date points, they added. The initiative will build on the success of USDOT's Freight Logistic Optimization Works (FLOW) program, launched in 2022, and aligns with the goals of the 2026 National Freight Strategic Plan, which was launched in May.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the initiative during a visit to the Port of Los Angeles.
