The FY23-27 MBTA CIP includes over 500 capital projects to modernize, expand, and increase the reliability of the MBTA transit network.
“With the goal of improving reliability, modernizing the system, expanding capacity and the network, and continuing to make critical safety improvements, the MBTA’s five-year CIP is an important document that guides our investment planning,” said Steve Poftak, MBTA GM. “I thank the Board for approving of our CIP, and I thank our riders and the public for participating in this public process and letting us know what kinds of capital investments they’d like to see the MBTA prioritize for investment.”
The FY23-27 MBTA CIP is available at mbta.com/cip and includes an overview of the Authority’s capital planning process, summaries of investment programs, summaries of investments by mode, and the full list of capital projects.
A short-term, financially constrained investment program updated annually, the FY23-27 MBTA CIP goals are:
Improve the reliability of the MBTA’s transit system and modernize existing assets to accommodate current or anticipated growth.
Make targeted investments in the expansion of the transportation network to increase capacity or provide riders with more options across transit modes.
