The US Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) serves as a Federal interagency maritime policy coordinating committee for the purpose of assessing the adequacy of the marine transportation system (MTS), promoting the integration of the MTS with other modes and other uses of the marine environment, and coordinating the Federal MTS-related agencies with regard to policies that impact the MTS. The CMTS was established by the President’s Ocean Action Plan of 2004, chartered in July 2005, and authorized in statute in December 2012. [Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act (2012), (PL 112-213), (46 U.S.C.A. § 55501)]. For more information, visit the CMTS website: https://www.cmts.gov/.
