U.S. Department of Transportation is making $86 million in grants available to improve states’ pipeline safety programs. The funds, administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, will help state partners inspect more than 85% of the nation’s 3.3-million-mile pipeline network.
“PHMSA values its partnership with state regulators who share responsibility for overseeing the nation’s energy transportation infrastructure,” said PHMSA Acting Administrator Ben Kochman. “We remain committed to supporting them through grants, training, and other essential resources needed to accomplish their safety mission.”
