Overview
Grant Description
Purpose of the Award
Activities to be Performed: The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (NORTA) is applying for FY21 5337 funds in the federal amount of $4,684,248 (see attached split letter). NORTA is applying for both the Rail and HOV SGR funds. The Rail funds will go towards rehabbing the Napoleon Facility's storm water management system by installing permeable pavers and new vegetated islands in the parking area, purchasing track tools and equipment, refurbishing the Canal Streetcar HVAC system, rehabbing the Canal/Riverfront Streetcar converters, and preventive maintenance. The HOV funds will be used for preventive maintenance of the rail. The 5337 program allows HOV funds to also be used on rail activities. The local match (20% - $1,171,063) is from the Capital/Operating Reserve Fund.
Expected Outcomes
Intended Beneficiaries: New Orleans Regional Transit Authority is committed to offering safe and reliable transportation. To honor that commitment, NORTA routinely services its streetcars and tracks to ensure that its transit system remains in the best working condition, providing a safe commute for residents, employees, and visitors alike.
