Every five years, the MTA is required to come up with a five-year Capital Program, where – together with State, City, and federal partners – we chart out
wide-ranging investments to modernize, fortify, and expand the system and put our infrastructure in a State of Good Repair. The latest plan, for 2025-2029, will be adopted at our next Board meeting on September 25. But, as always, the plan will depend on funding decisions to be made in Albany later this year and in Q1 2025.
The 2020-2024 plan has allowed MTA to make huge strides on ADA accessibility, modern signals, and transformational expansion projects like Grand Central Madison, LIRR Third Track and Metro-North Penn Station Access. Our rolling stock is aging out. 1,500 rail cars currently in operation are already past their 40-year limit, and we’re going to need to replace almost 4,000 cars total over the next 20 years. Likewise for buses – the entire fleet of 5,840 vehicles is going to need replacement by 2044.
