To combat this, historic funding has been secured for a comprehensive Capital Plan aimed at modernization of the transit system. Key investments include over $5 billion to replace outdated subway signals, enhancing reliability and safety. The plan also includes the purchase of 1,500 new subway cars and support for bus services, which are essential for millions of residents, especially in areas with limited subway access.
