Abstract: This program is intended to provide operating assistance and capital funding to aid recipients and subrecipients in restoring public transportation service and in repairing and reconstructing public transportation assets to a state of good repair as expeditiously as possible following an emergency or major disaster.

Emergency Justfication: In order to provide necessary funding to the affected States and public transportation agencies in a responsive and timely manner, FTA intends to publish a Notice of Funding Availability in the Federal Register for these funds. For publishing to take place by 2/5/13, FTA requests an approval by 2/4/13. Without a waiver of OMB's normal approving process, the delivery of emergency response recovery funds to the affected agencies will be delayed and will further extend the impact of this storm on the populations and public transportation riders in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other northeastern states.
