MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said Wednesday he is confident that the MTA will get the $68.4 billion needed to fund the five-year capital plan unveiled the same day.
The ambitious plan, officially rolled out at the MTA’s Corona Yard shop in Flushing, calls for 2,000 new railcars across the subway and commuter rail systems, as well as 60 ADA-compliant subway stations by 2029. It also proposes significant upgrades to the MTA’s elevated structures, tunnels, fare gates, signals and power system, among other investments.
