Emergency Relief Time Extension Webinar

Emergency Relief (ER) projects are required to reach Construction Authorization (E76 CON) within two Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) after the FFY the disaster event began. This means local agencies with an ER project resulting from a 2020 FFY disaster who are unable to authorize construction by the end of this FFY, must submit an ER Time Extension Request for their project and receive FHWA approval to avoid losing federal funds. To help inform local public agencies, the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA) and FHWA hosted this free training webinar on July 13, 2023, to highlight this important requirement for ER projects, including a comprehensive review of the ER Time Extension Request Form. Our Expert speakers included: Peter Pangilinan, Transportation Engineer, FHWA California Division Bob Baca, Emergency Relief Program Manager, Caltrans Office of Federal Programs Visit https://dot.ca.gov/ to learn more about the Emergency Relief Program and Emergency Relief Time Extensions.
