"Every New Yorker depends on the transit system and the 2025 - 2029 Capital Plan adopted by the MTA makes that continue with a historic level of investment to keep the system in good repair," said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. "With accessibility upgrades, thousands of new railcars, modern signals to make the system more reliable, and more, this plan benefits everyone across the 12 county MTA region."

"The 2025 - 2029 Capital Plan will rebuild and improve New York's transit system to address critical state of good repair needs," said MTA Construction & Development President Jamie Torres-Springer. "Events like this Open House showcase the work we are doing every day at MTA C&D to deliver projects better, faster, and cheaper. It will demonstrate how we will execute the next capital plan with the same efficiency."

The Capital Plan is a historic $68.4 billion investment in the region's subways, buses, railroads, bridges, and tunnels over the next five years that ensures New Yorkers continue to have access to reliable, accessible, and sustainable transit. It includes targeted investments to rebuild, improve, and expand the MTA system. It will enable the MTA to continue to provide frequent and reliable service by putting the system on a path to state of good repair, including investments in railcars, power, and signals. The plan will also improve the customer experience, with investments in accessibility, stations, and modern fare gates, and take action on climate change, including resilience and sustainability initiatives. The 2025-2029 Capital Plan builds on the most detailed system-wide evaluation the MTA has ever undertaken, the Twenty-Year Needs Assessment.
