The U.S. Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) is a federal inter-departmental body chaired by the Secretary of Transportation. Its purpose is to bring together responsible federal departments and agencies to oversee the Marine Transportation System (MTS) and to develop and implement national policies aligned with broad national needs. The committee is tasked with reporting to the President on views and recommendations for improving the MTS, based on directives from the U.S. Ocean Action Plan issued in 2004. Based in the United States, CMTS operates within the government administration sector and maintains a small organizational footprint. A recent development noted is the publication of the CMTS 2017-18 Annual Report detailing actions and accomplishments over the prior year.
