After Gov. Kathy Hockle canceled New York City’s congestion pricing program last month, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority cut $16.5 billion worth of plans to upgrade the city’s vast transit system to make up for lost funding that was primarily tied to toll revenue.
How the end of congestion pricing will impact MTA capital projects funding
Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority
Note: This chart shows $28.5 billion in uncommitted funds in the MTA’s 2020-24 capital program. An additional $27 billion has already been committed.
Projects were cut from parts of New York City’s transit system, the largest in North America and used by millions of people every day, including elevators and ramps to allow people with disabilities to access subway stations, structural repairs to aging infrastructure and upgrading 1930s-era signals that regularly cause delays.
Some of the subway projects authorities have reportedly shelved include:
The cuts announced by the MTA, the state agency that runs subways, buses and commuter rail, affect transportation beyond the subway system. The agency has delayed the purchase of more than 250 electric buses and bus-station charging equipment, regional rail upgrades and ramp reconstruction on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
The remaining $12 billion in the MTA’s capital fund will be used for projects the agency considers most urgent, such as replacing track and repairing substations. The agency also said in the report that it would replace some of its least reliable subway and rail cars.
In total, 92 subway stations will not receive planned improvements: 22 will not have new elevators or ramps, 10 will not have upgrades such as structural repairs, platform replacements or new barriers between the platform and the tracks, and 71 will not have upgrades to their in-station public address systems.
Below is a list of subway stations pending renovations, based on details released by the MTA so far.
