The MTA's Deferred Maintenance Reality Check

The MTA's Deferred Maintenance Reality Check

Violet Woolf

Years of deferred maintenance and what the capital plan is trying to fix

|

The Infrastructure Inheritance

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority carries decades of deferred maintenance producing the 2017-2019 reliability crisis and which the Emergency Action Plan, the 2020-2024 Capital Program, and congestion pricing revenue are attempting to address. The deferred maintenance is a specific engineering and fiscal problem whose resolution requires sustained investment over years, not the announcement of any single program.

What Has Been Done

Capital program progress: signal modernization on the L train produced the most complete reliability transformation of any single line in recent subway history. Signal work on additional lines proceeds at the pace that funding and the specific engineering challenges of installing modern signals in 100-year-old infrastructure allow.
