The MBTA needs nearly $25 billion to fix and replace its aging trains, tracks, stations, and other infrastructure, according to an internal analysis released Thursday.
The MBTA explained in a news release that its assets are aging faster than they're being replaced, thanks to years of underinvestment. The T also noted that inflation and supply chain challenges are driving up infrastructure and construction costs, one of several factors that contributed to the hefty repair bill.
Broken down by transit type, the T's heavy rail system - the Red, Blue, and Orange lines - will be the most expensive to fix at nearly $9.9 billion, according to the analysis.
