‘Largest ever’ capital plan for New York

The board of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has approved its 2020-24 capital plan.

It includes a $51.5 billion (£39.72m) investment that is 70% more than the current five-year plan and the largest capital plan in MTA’s history. 

Priorities include modernising the signalling on six lines and procuring almost 2,000 new metro cars.
