Abstract

This article examines the Massachusetts Bay Transport Authority's (MBTA's) FY 2005-2010 capital program. MBTA, the country's oldest continuously operating subway system, offers three rapid transit lines, 12 commuter routes, and a five segment light rail operation as part of its 468 route-mile system with approximately 798 daily boardings. The MBTA draft 2005-2010 capital investment program is worth $2.96 billion, of which $1.62 billion is slated for rail. The article briefly reviews the major projects in the plan: purchase of new buses; a station management project; station revitalization; Greenbush project, and a 17.1 mile seven station commuter rail extension project.
