In his latest report on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), State Comptroller DiNapoli examines its latest 20-Year Needs Assessment, which is a comprehensive listing of all capital repairs needed in its regional transit system. DiNapoli’s report uses the MTA’s assessment to identify areas of investment need for its next Capital Program as it strives to improve service and safety, and grow ridership and fare revenue which were decimated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The list of repairs and upgrades needed in our regional transit systems can seem endless, but funds are limited. As the MTA prepares its next capital plan and sets priorities for work, it should remain focused on riders’ experience by improving safety, reliability and frequency of service,” DiNapoli said. “Above all, it needs to be transparent. Riders and policymakers need to know what these capital projects mean for them, the progress that will be made in repairing the system, how much they’re going to cost, and how the MTA is going to pay for them.”
