Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) $1.138 billion under the State of Good Repair Grants Program (CFDA 20.525) on June 9, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2026. This formula grant reimburses the MTA for comprehensive preventive maintenance and servicing of New York City Transit (NYCT) rail vehicles, non-vehicle assets, and facility infrastructure. The funding supports activities designed to preserve and extend the useful life of transit operating assets while maintaining a state of good repair across the MTA's extensive multimodal transportation network serving the greater New York City metropolitan region.

Under this award, the MTA directly implements preventive maintenance programs targeting eligible capital expenditures for rail vehicles, support equipment, and facility assets without subrecipients. The funding supports the MTA's Transit Asset Management plan requirements and addresses critical infrastructure maintenance needs across the subway system and related transit facilities to ensure safe, reliable service operations and reduce long-term operational costs. As a formula grant, this award represents ongoing federal support for the MTA's infrastructure preservation obligations across its rail transit operations.
