About the CIP

As a blueprint for the transportation system of the future, the FY25-29 CIP sets out many urgent priorities for the MBTA. Through this plan we seek to:

• Address critical state of good repair needs, which are documented in the Capital Needs Assessment and Inventory (CNAI)
• Focus on the investment objectives of safety, reliability and modernization; accessibility; and sustainability and resilience, informed by the MBTA’s strategic planning effort

Engagement Opportunities

The public comment period for the proposed FY 2025 - 2029 MBTA CIP will be held from April 25th to May 16th.

During this time, the MBTA will host one virtual public meeting and one in-person public meeting to provide an overview of the proposed CIP and invite attendees to share their feedback:

• Thursday, May 2, 2024: 6:30 PM at the State Transportation Building. View the event page for more details.
• Tuesday, May 7, 2024: 6:30 PM Virtual Public Meeting. View the event page for more details.

Following the close of the public comment period on May 16th, we will further refine the CIP before bringing it to the MBTA Board of Directors for approval in June. The final FY 2025 – 2029 CIP will include a list of key topics mentioned in the public comments, as well as responses to each topic. It will go into effect on July 1.

The comments received during the CIP public engagement process help us better understand which investments the public would like us to prioritize. Additionally, your comments help guide the development of the current and future capital plans. Public feedback is important to the CIP development process, and we appreciate your input.
