Bill > A04357

This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to submit a comprehensive twenty-year capital needs assessment to the MTA Capital Program Review Board every five years, beginning on October 1st, 2029. The assessment will cover a twenty-year period starting from January 1st, 2031, and will provide a forward-looking overview of the transportation system's long-term capital investment needs. The assessment must outline broad capital investments throughout the district, including system rebuilding, enhancement, and expansion needs, as well as agency-specific capital requirements and projected future trends. Importantly, this document is purely informational and non-binding, meaning the Capital Program Review Board is not required to vote on it. The assessment must be certified by the chair of the authority and entered into the permanent record of the review board's minutes. The goal is to provide a strategic planning tool that helps the MTA anticipate and plan for future infrastructure and network developments over an extended period.
