The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will receive approximately $886.2 million in federal aid to help with the cost of repairs from Hurricane Sandy and to make its transit system more resilient against future storms.

The emergency relief was announced Tuesday by U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, the Westchester Democrat who is her party”™s senior member on the House appropriations committee. The aid will come through the Federal Transit Administration, which received $10.9 billion under the Sandy disaster aid package passed by Congress last year.

The funding is the first major reimbursement to the MTA for Sandy-related repair work, according to Lowey”™s office

An estimated $103.5 million of the total award will fund projects along Metro-North Railroad lines to guard against high water levels in future storms, including track improvements and signal and power system upgrades. The remaining funds will support major investments in the city subway system damaged by Sandy, Lowey said.

The congresswoman said $5.7 billion of the total Sandy aid package approved by Congress has been allocated to storm-ravaged communities, and $3 billion remains available for other projects to make transportation systems less vulnerable to future storms. An additional $1.1 billion will be allocated at a later date for response, recovery and rebuilding efforts.
