The Metropolitan Transportation Authority board approved a record $51.5 billion spending plan for 2020-2024.
It’s a 70% increase in capital spending over the MTA’s previous budget. Most of the money went to New York City’s transit system.
The plan will also fun Long Island Rail Road’s expansion to Grand Central Terminal and almost 10 addition miles of a third track to Hicksville.
Metro-North will see the addition of four new stations in the Bronx on its New Haven line.
The Capital Program Review Board is expected to make the final approval.
