Bill > A05963

This bill requires the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create and submit ten-year capital program plans to the MTA Capital Program Review Board, expanding upon existing requirements for five-year plans. Specifically, the bill mandates that the MTA submit two capital program plans covering a ten-year period, with the first such submission due by October 1, 2025, and subsequent submissions every ten years thereafter (with the next one due by January 31, 2035). The bill also updates provisions related to amendments and modifications to these plans, changing references from "five-year" to "ten-year" plans. These capital program plans are important strategic documents that outline the MTA's infrastructure investments, maintenance needs, and major projects over an extended period. The longer planning horizon (ten years instead of five) allows for more comprehensive long-term planning and better anticipation of future transportation infrastructure needs. The bill also maintains existing requirements for the MTA to submit amendments to the plans if certain significant changes occur, such as substantial cost increases, changes in project descriptions, or shifts in funding sources.
