The MTA is set to enhance its service with the acquisition of over 300 new M-9A railcars for Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North. Initiated by Governor Kathy Hochul, this purchase aims to modernize the aging fleet on busy commuter routes as part of a broader capital plan for 2025-2029 that targets a total of 2,000 new cars worth approximately $10.9 billion. The M-9A railcars will feature amenities such as USB charging and accessibility improvements, poised to significantly elevate the commuter experience and address growing ridership needs.
The new fleet of railcars is vital for enhancing commuter experiences, providing modern features, and ensuring reliable, comfortable, and accessible transportation for New York residents.
As we continue to achieve record on-time performance, these new M-9A railcars will further allow us to provide a fast and dependable transit system.
