BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 231-233)
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates and maintains the major
public transportation systems in the Metropolitan Transportation District, which
consists of New York City and Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland,
Suffolk, and Westchester counties. This agency is included in the Transportation
and Economic Development appropriation bill.
Aid to Localities
The Executive proposes a contingency appropriation for the MTA in the amount of
$437,600,000, an increase of $46,203,000, or 11.80 percent. This contingency
appropriation will support debt service payments for the MTA in State Fiscal
Year 2002-03 in the event the State budget for that fiscal year is not passed on
April 1, 2002. The increase reflects higher projected revenues to the Dedicated
Mass Transportation Trust Fund due to higher tax collections in the MTA region.
Capital
In the SFY 2000-01 the enacted stated budget contained an appropriation of
$320,000,000 related to the Transportation Bond Act of 2000. The Executive's
proposed budget for SFY 2001-02 did not contain this appropriation due to the
failure of the Transportation Bond Act. The Bond Act would have provided the
MTA with a total of $1.6 billion to fund the MTA's Capital Plan.
