"The impact of these projects, once completed, is obvious to riders. Replacing our existing 100-year-old signals with modern equipment means less time spent praying your train starts moving again soon while sitting in tunnels or delayed in stations. Meanwhile the additional ADA stations are yet more proof that this MTA is addressing the needs of economically-challenged populations in our City: seniors, parents with young children, and of course, people with disabilities."
"And we know what's going to move the needle further: 41% said more reliable service would increase their rating. Meat and potatoes investments like new signals and train cars and upgrades to power, structure, and resiliency the core of MTA's 2025-2029 Capital Plan will enable us to keep improving on-time performance (OTP), which has also been on the upswing, along with ridership."
Congestion-pricing-funded projects include modern signal installation on the A and C lines from High Street to Ozone Park and accessibility upgrades at five stations: Parsons Blvd (F), Briarwood (E/F), Gates Av (J/Z), Bryant Park-42 St (B/D/F/M), and 5 Av (7). Replacing 100-year-old signals with modern equipment reduces delays and tunnel stoppages. New ADA stations serve seniors, parents with young children, and people with disabilities. Customer satisfaction reached 67%, the highest since 2022, with 41% citing reliability as key. Investments in signals, train cars, power, structure, and resiliency in the 2025-2029 Capital Plan aim to improve on-time performance and ridership.
