Hochul suggests MTA’s approved $68B capital plan may be shrunk before getting state approval

Gov. Kathy Hochul suggested Monday that the MTA’s $68 billion capital plan may have to be trimmed amid concerns over how to fund it.

The MTA Board approved the five-year spending proposal for construction, maintenance, and repairs last week, sending it to Albany for review by the state’s Capital Program Review Board before proceeding onward to the State Legislature and the governor’s desk.
