The MTA's capital plan prioritizes a $68 billion investment in transit, including $2.75 billion for the transformative Interborough Express, which will connect Brooklyn and Queens.
The IBX light rail will run 14 miles along freight tracks, aiming to facilitate intra-borough commuting for Brooklyn and Queens residents, alleviating congestion in Manhattan.
Connecting to 17 subway lines and over 50 bus routes, the IBX targets transit deserts in East Flatbush, enhancing mobility for underserved communities in New York City.
With only half of the $68 billion plan funded, the MTA’s focus is on securing federal financing and moving towards the construction phase for the IBX.
