Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program

This information collection (IC) request seeks a three-year extension, without changes, of the currently approved collection under OMB Control Number 2132-0575, Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program. Funding for this program is provided through Congressional appropriations, which are typically made only in response to significant emergencies or disasters, rather than on a recurring annual basis. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers these funds to help states and public transportation systems protect, repair, and/or replace equipment and facilities damaged or at risk due to emergencies, including natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Eligible transportation providers must submit applications to receive these federal funds and, once awarded, provide milestone and financial reports to ensure the proper and timely expenditure of funds within the approved project scope. Depending on the nature and timing of the disaster, this information may be collected annually or quarterly. All submissions are made to FTA’s regional and headquarters staff through the agency’s electronic Transit Award Management System (TrAMS).

The latest form for Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program expires 2029-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202604-2132-002.
