We consider constrained policy optimization in Reinforcement Learning, where the constraints are in form of marginals on state visitations and global action executions. Given these distributions, we formulate policy optimization as unbalanced optimal transport over the space of occupancy measures. We propose a general purpose RL objective based on Bregman divergence and optimize it using Dykstra's algorithm. The approach admits an actor-critic algorithm for when the state or action space is large, and only samples from the marginals are available. We discuss applications of our approach and provide demonstrations to show the effectiveness of our algorithm.
