U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Friday announced a new federal supply chain initiative designed to improve freight visibility and reduce cargo delays across the country.
Called the American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative, the proposed program would connect ports, ocean carriers, trucking companies, railroads, and major retailers through a centralized freight visibility platform to help move goods faster and more efficiently.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the initiative would launch a high-visibility dashboard that links major freight hubs, including the Port of Los Angeles, with supply chain partners to help identify bottlenecks more quickly and speed cargo processing.
“When it comes to our supply chains, time is money. Fewer delays mean lower costs throughout the entire supply chain,” Duffy said. “The American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative will prevent bottlenecks, move freight faster, and deliver goods more affordably for the American people.”
