6. Authorization of the CMTS Organization U.S. Ocean Action Plan (2005) This Plan contained a Presidential Directive to establish a cabinet-level interagency committee on the marine transportation system (MTS). Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act (2012), PL 112-213 The CMTS shall serve as a federal interagency coordinating committee for the purpose of: • Assessing MTS adequacy • Promoting MTS integration with other modes of transportation and marine environment uses • Coordinating, improving the coordination of, and making recommendations related to MTS relevant federal policy

7. FULL COMMITTEE Chair: Secretary of Transportation by Charter (Secretary Anthony Foxx) COORDINATING BOARD Chair: Rotates yearly between SEC DOT, DHS, DOD, DOC Current Chair: RADM Paul Thomas. USCG Members: Leadership of Agencies and Offices of designated member Department and Independent Federal Agencies, White House Ex-Officio Members EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT Executive Director and dedicated staff to facilitate meetings, support CMTS work plan and activities.

9. Infrastructure Investment The Infrastructure Investment Integrated Action Team (IAT) was established to facilitate the development of broad evaluation and decision criteria that can be used across Government programs for informing Federal infrastructure investment. The team also focuses on developing tools that are value-added for practitioners at the local and non-Federal level as well as the Federal stakeholders. Leads: Treasury, USACE, DOT Teams

11. U.S. Arctic MTS Through the team’s recommendations and member agency actions, maritime transportation in the U.S. Arctic will be better managed and made more safe and secure, resulting in more efficient transits, greater protection of Arctic coastal and ocean resources, maintenance of subsistence uses by native communities, and less risk to loss of cargo and life. Leads: USCG, NOAA, MARAD Teams

12. U.S. Arctic MTS Activities CMTS is directed in statute (2010) to coordinate transportation policy in the US Arctic for Safety and Security 3 Actions directed by the Secretary of Transportation under the National Strategy on the Arctic Region Implementation Plan (2014) Engaged with the Arctic Executive Steering Committee Tribal Outreach (Traditional Knowledge) Teams

13. Maritime Safety Activities: • Waterways Harmonization • eMarine Safety Information • Expansion of the S100 architecture • Common Information Sharing Standards • Coordinating with NSC/DOD on the new “National Maritime Information Sharing Environment” MDA The CMTS Future of Navigation IAT facilitates the coordinated and integrated collection, processing, and dissemination of navigation data and information to provide services to stakeholders, eliminate duplication, and enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our waterways and ports. Leads: NOAA, USACE, USCG Teams

14. Maritime Data Activities: • MTS Performance Measures Report and Website • Harmonization of maritime terminologies and data bases • Maritime Tab at DATA.gov • Supporting the BTS Port Freight Statistics Working Group The purpose of the Maritime Data IAT is to serve as the CMTS’s body of experts in regard to the discovery, access, and sharing capacity of data related to the operation and governance of the MTS. The work of the Maritime Data IAT includes facilitating the identification, archiving, linking, and integration of authoritative data from agencies with equities in maritime data. Leads: MARAD, USACE Teams

15. Marine Transportation System Research & Development A coordinated R&D strategy supported by the Research and Development IAT will enable the Nation to address marine transportation infrastructure challenges efficiently, meet increasing freight demand, promote safety in and security of the MTS, and address the environmental impacts of the MTS. Lead: USACE Teams

16. Marine Transportation System Research & Development Conference The conference was designed to allow practitioners, academics, and government officials to: • share innovations in water transportation • discuss the integration of the water mode with surface transportation. • focus on research and technology cooperation and coordination among government agencies, academia, and the private sector. Hosted by CMTS & Transportation Research Board (TRB)From Sail to Satellite: Delivering Solutions for Tomorrow’s Marine Transportation SystemsJune 22-23, 2016 National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC Teams

17. Marine Transportation System Resilience Activities: • MTS Resilience Factors Report - A list of “factors” related to resilience to help prioritize issues within the MTS and to better understand the diversified interests of federal agencies • “Quantification of Integrated Watershed System Resilience: A Tiered Method” fact sheet The mission of the Resilience IAT is to foster interagency exchange and co-production to incorporate the concepts of resilience into the operation and management of the U.S. Marine Transportation System. For the purposes of this team, resilience is defined as the ability to prepare and plan for, resist, recover from, and more successfully adapt to the impacts of adverse events. Leads: USACE, NOAA Teams

18. Maritime Energy and Air Emissions Activities: • Project collaboration • Education and Outreach • Maritime Energy / alternative fuels • Air Emissions R&D and outreach support The Maritime Energy and Air Emissions Working Group is established to provide a forum for Federal agencies with an interest in or program related to maritime use of alternative fuels and technologies to reduce air emissions and improve energy efficiency. Leads: MARAD, DOE Teams

19. Military to Mariner The purpose of the Military to Mariner (M2M) Initiative is to help coordinate Federal efforts to facilitate the transition from military service to civilian employment in the U.S. Merchant Marine and/or other positions within the Marine Transportation System. Military sea-service veterans have specialized training and experience needed in the MTS and can fill a growing demand for skilled workers in the U.S. Merchant Marine. Leads: MARAD and MSC Teams

20. S 100 Resolution • The U.S. vision for e-Navigation: Establish a framework that enables the transfer of data between and among ships and shore facilities, and that integrates and transforms that data into decision and action information; • The use of standards is a recognized method of facilitating such data transfers and harmonization; • The IMOs S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model is a stable framework for maritime data and product specifications that can support the wide variety of navigation-related digital data sources, products and customers; • S-100 is aligned with accepted IMO geospatial standards; has been adopted by IMO, IHO, and the Int’l Assoc. of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities as preferred global standard for marine data and navigation products; • Adoption of S-100 aligns U.S. with the int’l community; and • S-100 provides the lexicon for converting data into meaningful MSI; • The CMTS Coordinating Board resolved that the IHO’s S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model be adopted by CMTS-member agencies as the preferred framework for marine data and product specification, provided such adoption does not supersede or conflict with existing agency data standards requirements.

21. CMTS Waterway Harmonization Project “e-Navigation is the harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment.” – IMO

23. Enhanced Marine Safety Information (eMSI) Overview • Current state: • Agencies provide MSI in different formats, disseminated through various means • Information is sometimes duplicated, depending on the product and means of dissemination • Users need to know where to go to get information, then apply it • eMSI Task Team purpose: Coordinate various government-provided navigation information services • Goal: Provide an “integrated navigation information bulletin” • Accessed and delivered electronically • Variety of formats available as web services • Transmitted via AIS

24. Enhanced Marine Safety Information (eMSI) Use Case During voyage planning, navigator determines departure date/time, estimated arrival date/time, route, stops or layovers, other information. Navigation system used for voyage planning automatically requests applicable information from eMSI service(s); transparent to the navigator; machine-to-machine. eMSI is delivered in usable format for the system(s) that the navigator will use. Voyage plan may be modified based on information received – iterative process

25. In 2015, deep sea, costal, Great Lakes and inland water transportation generated over $4 billion in annual wages Conclusion
