What can FTA ER funds be used for?
Funds allocated for response, recovery, and rebuilding may be used for eligible expenses according to statute and FTA regulation, including:
- Repair / replacement of damaged or destroyed assets to a state of good repair;
- Emergency operating expenses for evacuations, temporary emergency service, disaster preparation, and temporary repairs/protective measures.
Funds allocated for resilience projects may be spent on capital projects that are designed and built specifically to address existing and future vulnerabilities to damages from disasters. Please see FTA’s Emergency Relief Manual for further detail.
