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.
