“If we ignore these threats we risk the survival of the system itself – and New York,” a new MTA report states.
Some 400 miles of subway tracks, half of Metro-North’s Hudson Line and several Long Island Rail Road stations are in dire need of upgrades to stave off flooding and other extreme weatherThe report, called the 20-year needs assessment, is a breakdown of the agency’s $3.5 trillion worth of transit infrastructure, and details which equipment planners believe most urgently needs fixing over the next two decades.
The MTA also needs to replace 6,300 of its 8,700 rail cars and its entire fleet of 6,000 buses by then, according to the report. State legislation required the MTA to publish the 20-year needs assessment this year, ahead of forming a five-year construction plan slated to begin in 2025. The report issues grades to individual projects to help prioritize which ones should be completed first.“This is the first time that the agency has done anything like this level of detailed analysis,” MTA Chair Janno Lieber said at Tuesday’s briefing.
"While the MTA's needs assessment is thorough and shows that our transit system is in dire need of investment, it lacks dollar figures showing exactly how much money will be needed to fix the subways, buses, and commuter railroads,” wrote Rachael Fauss with the good government group Reinvent Albany in an email. “The needs of everyday riders must come first.
