MTA officials laid out their most dire warning yet about the threat of lawsuits seeking to overturn its congestion pricing program — saying the litigation puts the temporary kibosh on billions of dollars in construction priorities.
Jamie Torres-Springer, the head of the MTA’s Construction & Development arm, said Monday that the agency had hoped to ink $12 billion in construction contracts this year, as per its $51 billion 2020-24 capital plan, for work on subway station accessibility, modernizing train signals, electrifying its bus fleet, and keeping its aging system in a state of good repair.
