This program provides funds to States for the construction, renovation, and maintenance of public boating infrastructure tie-up facilities for transient boats 26’ or more in length. The program is designed to provide transient dockage for recreational opportunities and safe harbors, as well as to:

• Enhance access to recreational, historic, cultural and scenic resources;
• Strengthen community ties to the water’s edge and economic benefits;
• Promote public/private partnerships and entrepreneurial opportunities;
• Provide continuity of public access to the shore; and,
• Promote awareness of transient boating opportunities.

Under the National Boating Infrastructure Grant Program, two types of grants are available, referred to as "Tier I" and "Tier II." Tier I grants are grants of up to $100,000; Tier II grants are those of more than $100,000. Applications are submitted to the states.
