The 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment outlines capital work the MTA needs to do over the next two decades to keep the region moving. The MTA developed a three-part plan to secure the foundation of the system and ensure another 100 years of service by reconstructing, renewing, and modernizing the system. This dataset includes data on the fleet inventory for MTA Police, with information on the number of units for each asset type, the useful life of each type, the year the assets were built, and number of years of remaining useful life. It includes all vehicles used by the MTA Police Department that are eligible for capital funding.

Until March 2020, the MTA publicized solicitations on its website for capital projects in its Eye on the Future newsletters. Each report contained information for prospective contractors, engineers, architects and vendors about contracts for professional services, construction, and equipment procurement capital projects that are expected to be advertised for bids during specific time period by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s operating agencies.

The 2025-2044 20-Year Needs Assessment is a broad, comprehensive blueprint that outlines the MTA region's transportation capital needs for the next generation. It provides an extensive, long-term view based upon rigorous data analysis across all the MTA agencies. The MTA developed a three-part plan to for the next 20 years to achieve the transit network New Yorkers deserve. It is based on three fundamental ideas: rebuild the foundation of the system to ensure its survival, improve our network to meet 21st century needs, and expand to support future growth. This dataset includes data on the conditions of most assets in the MTA system.
