The US Transportation Department (USDOT) has stated that a supply chain pilot data-sharing project, aimed at easing bottlenecks at congested US. Ports, has begun exchanging data and doubled in size.
USDOT announced the planned project in March with truckers, shippers, wholesalers, retailers and ports "to develop a digital tool that gives companies information on the condition of a node or region in the supply chain."
US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called the program a "first-of-its-kind initiative to share information and help move goods more quickly and cheaply."
