The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) recently opened the 21-day public comment period for its proposed Fiscal Years 2025-2029 MBTA Capital Investment Plan.
The five-year financial plan funds all MBTA capital projects. It includes more than 630 unique capital projects to modernize, improve, and increase the safety and reliability of the MBTA transit network as well as the capital planning process, summaries of investment programs, and funding level forecasts.
The plan is updated annually to ensure that the MBTA continues to address its most critical asset needs; prioritizes projects that keep the agency on a path to better safety, service, and sustainability; and focus on key investment objectives such as safety, reliability, modernization, accessibility, sustainability, and resilience.
“We understand our responsibility to make wise investments as we rebuild our system, providing improved, reliable, and safe service today while we also plan and strategically deliver capital projects that will serve the needs of future generations,” MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng said.
Residents are encouraged to comment on the online comment form or by email or letter by May 16.
The MBTA is hosting a public meeting on May 2 at the State Transportation Building and a virtual meeting on Zoom on May 7.
