This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated portions of the Mid-Atlantic coast causing severe damage to transit facilities and infrastructure and disrupting mobility in the New York metropolitan region. In January 2013, the President signed the DRAA, which provided approximately $50.5 billion in federal aid for expenses related to Hurricane Sandy. GAO was asked to examine DRAA emergency relief assistance for transportation. This report addresses (1) the progress DOT has made allocating, obligating, and disbursing DRAA surface transportation funds, (2) how FTA's new Public Transportation Emergency Relief program compares to FEMA's and FHWA's emergency relief programs, and (3) the extent to which FTA and FEMA have implemented their memorandum of agreement to coordinate their roles and responsibilities when providing assistance to transit agencies. GAO analyzed relevant laws, regulations, and agency documentation, and interviewed DOT, FEMA, and New Jersey and New York area transit officials. "

Book excerpt: When a disaster overwhelms the ability of state, local, and voluntary agencies to adequately provide essential services on their own, the federal government generally plays a central role in disaster response, providing selected resources where they are needed. The federal government has provided significant funds for transit services following past catastrophic disasters. For example, about $4.7 billion was provided in emergency supplemental appropriations for emergency transit services in response to the September 11, 2001, attacks and $232 million in response to the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes.

Book excerpt: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is issuing this reference manual on Federal emergency response assistance and disaster relief programs for transit agencies, state departments of transportation, local government officials, metropolitan planning organizations, and other entities responsible for operating, funding or directing public transportation in the event of an emergency or disaster. The guide will help users identify the appropriate source of Federal disaster relief funding, understand the kinds of activities that are eligible for reimbursement, and provides instructions on applying for funding. Chapter One explains the purpose of this manual and provides background on the relevant Federal statutes guiding the Federal emergency response and disaster relief structure. It also provides an overview of how FTA coordinates disaster relief efforts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Chapter Two provides a series of disaster preparation strategies for transit agencies to consider implementing well before a disaster appears imminent. This includes a selection of recommended practices in the areas of planning, operations, contracts, and asset management that will help a transit system better withstand and more quickly recover from a disaster. Chapter Three includes an overview of key disaster response and recovery programs and resources, including information on disaster relief programs available from FTA, FEMA, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and some non-Federal sources. This chapter provides basic guidelines and instructions on identifying the appropriate program and applying for funding. Chapter Four presents detailed information about FTA's Emergency Relief (ER) Program, including an explanation of key program policies and requirements, such as applicant and project eligibility, special conditions for emergency relief grants, and requirements associated with floodplains and insurance. It also includes instructions on applying for waivers from FTA requirements when necessary to support disaster response and recovery. Finally, this manual provides resources in several appendices, including the ER Program Final Rule, frequently asked questions, a glossary, and contact information for FTA, FEMA, and state emergency management offices. This reference manual has been produced by FTA's Office of Program Management in cooperation with FTA's Office of Transit Safety and Oversight. The contents of the manual have been developed in close coordination with FEMA, with which FTA coordinates extensively in the event of a disaster affecting public transit systems.

Book excerpt: In recent years, many states have experienced natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and storms, which have caused catastrophic damage to transportation infrastructure and overwhelmed the capacity of state and local governments to respond and recover. Reconstruction after these events can cost taxpayers billions of dollars. As part of the continuing federal role in responding to and recovering from natural disasters and similar events, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), administers the Emergency Relief Program which provides funding to repair or reconstruct federal-aid highways and roads on federal lands damaged or destroyed by natural disasters and other catastrophic events. This book provides an overview of emergency relief programs for U.S. highways and roads with a focus on strengthening oversight of project eligibility decisions.
