The Bi-State Development Agency (Metro Transit) received a $22,825,000 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program (CFDA 20.527). This funding will support the recovery, repair, and mitigation efforts for Metro Transit's facilities, equipment, and assets that sustained damage from a recent natural disaster.
Specifically, the grant will cover costs associated with protecting, repairing, and/or replacing approximately 16 facilities, including communication rooms, signal houses, elevators, track, and vehicles impacted by flood waters. The grant activities are designed to restore safety and service for Metro Transit's transit riding public, as well as prevent further damage to vulnerable infrastructure in the event of future storm events. This federal assistance does not require any local matching funds, and Metro Transit plans to apply the remaining $4,850,000 in allocated Emergency Relief Program funds at a later date for additional mitigation projects.
