The MTA's proposed $68.4 billion Five-Year Capital Plan for 2025-29 focuses on upgrading infrastructure, reducing train delays, and enhancing safety for commuters in New York and its suburbs. The Regional Planning Association (RPA) supports this plan, asserting that improved transit can significantly augment the local economy and quality of life. Current funding decisions by state lawmakers, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, will determine the approval of this critical capital plan aimed at modernizing the city's transit system, which includes essential upgrades for safety and accessibility.
"The MTA's capital plan, designed for 2025-29, aims to enhance New York's aging transit infrastructure, improving safety and reducing delays for commuters across the region."
"Rachel Weinberger, co-author of the RPA report, emphasizes that investing in transit is crucial for economic growth, addressing major issues that affect rider experience and city productivity."
