The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is being reimbursed nearly $800 million for repair work made in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say the funding will be used to reimburse the MTA for various recovery and resiliency projects on the city's subways, Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road.

The money was allocated through the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.

Breaking it down, more than $715 million will go to reimburse the MTA for recovery projects, and around $72 million will go to the agency for resiliency projects.

The project list includes restoring several signals, switches and tracks damaged in the storm.
