Preparations for Recovery
For Mid & Long Term Recovery, Transportation Agencies Need
Fuel and Spare Parts
Employees: policy on employee welfare as well as retention/reduction of work force
Priority-setting / Decision-making issues
•What are priorities once life/safety & food/shelter addressed? Who decides?
•Who coordinates recovery investments?
Recovery Period Transportation Investments
Repair transportation infrastructure
(transbay bridge approaches, freeways, interchanges, and major roads)
Repair rail transit (BART, CalTrain, etc)
Repair road & rail access to ports, airports
Provide access to worst damaged areas
Provide mobility in/between other areas
Prioritize: not enough resources to do it all
MTC Roles during Recovery Communication between
Reg’l Recovery Authority and transportation agencies

Coordinate emergency funding for transportation
