The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) board of directors recently approved the Fiscal Years 2026 – 2030 MBTA Capital Investment Plan (FY26 – 30 MBTA CIP).
CIP is the five-year financial plan that funds MBTA’s capital projects, investments or activities related to acquiring, renewing, constructing, improving, or maintaining a capital asset.
The latest plan includes more than 660 capital projects to modernize, expand, and increase the safety and reliability of the MBTA transit network; examples of projects and initiatives that requested funding but were not included because of limited financial resources; and an overview of the capital planning process and summaries of investment programs. A total of $9.8 billion will be spent over the five fiscal years.
“The Capital Investment Plan (CIP) is the framework that guides how the T makes critical investments in the system, establishing a foundation for stabilizing and improving service today as we build a system for future generations of riders,” MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng said. “I am grateful to the Board for their continued support, and I thank the public for taking the time to provide invaluable feedback on the capital investments they’d like to see the MBTA prioritize. While the CIP needs to be balanced within the available funding at this time, we will always be nimble and ensure that we can deliver projects and meaningful results.”
