Interstate Ferry Fairness Act

Summary

The bill changes federal law so that privately or majority‑privately owned ferry vessels and ferry terminals can qualify for the Ferry Boat Program and related surface‑transportation grants. It also permits limited federal involvement in building or buying such ferries that run between two neighboring states, and sets fare limits to cover costs plus a reasonable return. The aim is to treat private ferries the same as public ones when they provide substantial public benefits.
