New York State Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is currently assessing the impacts of
the disaster on DOT facilities and operations. While costs are as yet unknown,
major reconstruction will be required on Route 9A in lower Manhattan. In
addition, the Department will incur costs for shutdown and resumption of capital
contracts in the New York City area, for provision of emergency equipment and
staff, for supplementary transit services and for revenue loses at State-
sponsored Republic airport.
NYS DOT costs TBD
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MTA)
The MTA sustained significant direct damage in the attack, including collapse of
1,700 feet of subway tunnel serving the number 1 and 9 line; destruction of
signal, communications and power equipment; loss or damage of four subway
stations; and destruction of bus and other surface vehicles. While the MTA is still
evaluating the extent of the damage, preliminary estimates for reconstruction
and replacement total approximately $1.7 billion. This cost could increase
significantly if damage on the nearby N and R tunnels is greater than preliminary
assessments indicate.
Resumption of normal transit service and tunnel access to lower Manhattan will
be a key component in the recovery process. The MTA estimates it will incur
approximately $123 million in extraordinary operating costs through 2002 to func
disaster-related cleanup, security, traffic management, customer information and
equipment support activities.
