in the relief funding management challenges report that we identified for the department of transportation last year, we also recognized several of the other oversight challenges and the challenges that transit agencies will face with these funds. one is that there is an interesting hybrid here of providing funds through an existing program, but providing them for new purposes in terms of the operating expenses and the 100% federal share of those operating expenses. we look forward in our work to examining how the oversight, how the expenditures work, given that new purpose within an existing program. the other challenge we highlight is monitoring funding and fta's past reliance in many cases on either self certification by transit agencies of their compliance with eligibility and funding conditions, as well as the reliance on oversight contractors, oversight support personnel who can be contractors, who of course are a valuable and important resource. as it has with hurricane relief funding in the past, with the funding a decade ago. ensuring that those support personnel are properly trai

but now reports are saying that the department of transportation is monitoring the airlines response to all of this. so at what point does the government get involved and what all can they do in a situation like this? well, i fly for american airlines and we've also had our challenges after a storm and he can't just blame it all on a weather they. they cited staffing issues, so his american, we actually at american uniquely did not have enough pilots ready to fly the schedule. and then when weather hits that really exposes that weakness and also some antiquated scheduling practices that you need to american, that we're trying to fix it. our pilots are all to with our passengers and that doesn't help us personally, not professionally. so is a government issued said surely they are the department of transportation uniquely inquiring regarding this airlines issues. but the, the senate transportation committee is now as say, what you do with all the money to make sure that you are ready to roll the money that was paying my salary during this time all the way through september. so they're

it will give the department of transportation the authority to distribute the money via grants. it will direct assistance for the specific projects. there is already guidance at the u.s. dot that would mandate the secretary to use deep pockets of new money for what they call projects of high-priority. these will be projects that would either produce a big economic benefit for a region or a state. or a project that would would be in need of emergency repair. there is guidance you would see. it would be additional guidance in the legislation directing the secretary. it would be projects of high-priority that would be determined by the federal government. in collaboration with state agencies. host: it will be a mandate then? the state has to use it for this project? what is the oversight for that? guest: there will be robust oversight. the dot has several oversight divisions. they have a board that oversees their grants. the other oversight will be your traditional federal oversight. also government watchdogs. data officials will also have an oversight role in these projects. host:

the spread of the virus and the change in travel hurt more than airlines and hotels, had put a serious dent in state and local transportation budgets in all of our states. state departments of transportation are facing an estimated $18 billion in shortfalls through 2024. leaders across the country have had to delay or cancel critical projects because of a lack of funding, and it is unclear when those projects may get back on track. i might say, madam president, that one of the things we have seen with the eviction moratorium expiring is that $46 billion of money we appropriated last year still hasn't gotten to the intended beneficiary, the people who are trying to pay their rent but can't. we have a huge problem, logistical problem, getting money to the intended beneficiary. that's true with covid-19, it's true with disaster relief. the type of thing senator padilla and i are suggesting is to take money that is already in the hands of the state and local governments and let them use it so they can do it quickly on investments which will last and indoor, rather than spend it on operating expenses. there is an urgent need for more transportation funding, that is exactly wh

i can tell you that the department of transportation has waived the hours of service for truckers responding to hurricane ida. i've been watching the traffic cameras across the interstate systems of louisiana for much of the day, and part of the good news is many, many people are heeding the evacuation orders, both mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders, and they're evacuating. this is causing some areas with high congestion. we just ask people to be patient. this is going to be part of the process. everyone can do themselves a little favor by checking with 511la.org or go to the 511 l.a. app for traffic information. find out if roads are closed, if detours are in effect, and if alternate routes are needed. at the present time we have 137 coach buses in place in louisiana spread from lafayette across east towards the new orleans area and multiple vehicle staging areas. the vast majority of these resources will be focused on southeast louisiana. we also have 19 paratransit buses, and they've already been assisting in the evacuation of a number of nursing homes. we will have another 37, 38
