Минтранс США запустил инициативу по повышению прозрачности и ускорению грузоперевозок

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has launched a new initiative aimed at improving supply chain visibility across the US, with a focus on reducing bottlenecks and strengthening freight movement. Under the American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative, the department plans to develop a high-visibility dashboard linking major logistics hubs, including the Port of Los Angeles, with ocean carriers, trucking companies, rail operators and retailers such as Walmart. The initiative is designed to provide greater transparency across supply chain operations, helping stakeholders accelerate cargo flows, improve network efficiency and reduce logistics costs. To support the programme, Sean P. Duffy, US Transportation Secretary, has called on Congress to include the necessary legislative provisions in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act. The proposed framework would authorise USDOT to establish role-based access to selected supply chain data, enabling the department to coordinate freight movements more effectively while maintaining data security.

The American Supply Chain Sovereignty Initiative will prevent bottlenecks, move freight faster, and deliver goods more affordably for the American people.” The programme builds on the Department’s Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) initiative, which was introduced to improve data-sharing between public and private sector supply chain participants. It also forms part of Secretary Duffy’s wider strategy to modernise the nation’s freight transportation network, which spans nearly seven million miles and supports the movement of cargo across ports, railways, roads and inland logistics facilities.
