Riverports
 


Rivers are an invaluable component of Kentucky’s transportation and economic system. Water shipments through Kentucky’s riverports provide:

  • Reliable, safe transport of commodities over long distances at an extremely low cost.
  • An important location incentive to attract firms that ship or receive large volumes of freight by water
  • An alternative to highway and rail transport, thus, reducing highway and rail construction needs and providing the potential for considerable infrastructure savings.
    •

    There are 11 approved public riverport authorities within the state of Kentucky.

    The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Division of Planning has the authority to approve new public riverports. To receive a copy of the requirements and an application, please contact the Public Riverport Coordinator, Division of Planning, at 502.564.7183.
