MTA Chairman Janno Lieber urged state legislators to adopt a consistent funding approach for the agency's capital repairs, criticizing the ad-hoc nature of financial support. Despite a $68-billion renovation plan for 2025-2029, funding remains incomplete, prompting legislative leaders to block the plan until they can identify missing funds. While state leaders express support for the full plan, no concrete solutions have emerged, reflecting a gap in legislative action to ensure stable financing for the MTA's essential capital projects.
There's a $250-billion state budget, the MTA capital budget is totally predictable... every time the MTA capital program comes up we treat it like, 'Oh my god, they need a bailout.'
