AGLPA Member Ports
Great Lakes public ports are essential economic engines for communities across the region and throughout the country. They connect manufacturers, farmers, construction suppliers, and energy producers to global markets, moving the bulk and containerized cargo that powers industries and keeps supply chains efficient and resilient.
Beyond freight, Great Lakes ports strengthen regional competitiveness by lowering transportation costs, reducing congestion on highways, and supporting family-sustaining jobs. They also help drive waterfront revitalization and visitor spending as cruise tourism grows across the Great Lakes.
The Impact of Great Lakes Ports
Our member ports are a cornerstone of the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway System, connecting the region to the Atlantic Ocean and global markets. Their impact extends far beyond the waterfront, supporting jobs, income, and industries across the United States.
