Hurricane/Tropical Storm - New Orleans, La. , September 20, 2005 -- Hurricane Katrina significantly hampered operations at various Regional Transit Authority facilities across Orleans Parish. Due to considerable damages at their major operational, administrative and maintenance facilities, the RTA decided to prioritize the rebuilding of their Canal Street facility so that it could be used as a central point for all of their daily office functions. This facility is the first major building repair project completed by the RTA since Hurricane Katrina, and its restoration marks a milestone in their recovery efforts. Photo by FEMA/Manuel Broussard.
