Briefly

The MTA has recently secured $33 billion for its capital plan, aimed at infrastructure improvements. However, the agency faces mounting financial risks from potential federal funding cuts.

This risk is exacerbated by federal actions against the congestion pricing program, which could lead to further debt or delays in crucial projects if not resolved.
