MTA approves $68.4 billion capital plan, sends it to Albany on how to figure out funding

The MTA approved on Wednesday its $68.4 billion capital plan for 2025-2029 — even though how much of that plan will be paid for remains up in the air with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ongoing pause of congestion pricing.
