The FY25-29 MBTA CIP includes over 640 unique capital projects to modernize, expand, and increase the safety and reliability of the MBTA transit network with a programmed spend of $9.6 billion over the next five fiscal years, including $843 million in new funding.
The report comes as the agency prepares to move forward on a major slate of vital capital projects to be funded by congestion pricing.
Without the funding Congestion Pricing will provide, the projects to make the transit system safer, more reliable, accessible, and equitable are at risk, according to the MTA.
Crews accomplished this critical work due to unencumbered access to track areas while Red Line service was suspended between Alewife and Harvard stations for 10 days from February 5 to 14.
Planned closures are scheduled between summer 2024 and summer 2026, with additional construction planned over the winter holidays.
The project is funded by a grant from the FY 2019 Federal-State Partnership for the State of Good Repair Program.
Determining optimal replacement lifecycles and preventative maintenance can improve transit fleets' uptimes, as well as help better serve their communities.
The first class of 10 NJ TRANSIT employees participated in classes at night and on select Saturdays for nine weeks to complete the classroom section of the program and are now eligible to apply for the Project Management Professional exam through the certification sponsor organization, the Project Management Institute.
The Partnership Program is intended to improve intercity passenger rail performance by funding capital projects to repair, replace, or rehabilitate publicly owned or controlled railroad assets, thereby bringing them into a state of good repair.
