The MTA board just voted in favor of their proposed $68.5 billion capital plan​ which they say will keep the transit system from falling into disrepair following the pause in congestion pricing​.

Final approval is still required by the State Legislature, which must also come up with a way to generate a new revenue stream to fund roughly half the plan, while also figuring out how to fill a $15 billion budget gap in the MTA’s current capital budget that was created with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s indefinite pause on congestion pricing.
