The 2019 state law directing the MTA to implement Congestion Pricing specified that 80% of the revenue, or $12 billion, be spent on capital improvements to the subway and bus system, and $1.5 billion be spent on each of LIRR and Metro-North.
The projects below are, as of May 2024, eligible to be funded at least in part from Congestion Pricing revenue. To be eligible, projects need to:
- Be included in the 2020-2024 Capital Plan.
- Be listed in the Transportation Improvement Program maintained by NYMTC.
Once Congestion Pricing is implemented and revenue is generated, specific funding allocations to individual projects will be made and documented on this page.

Second Avenue Subway, Phase 2
Future contracts to advance the Second Avenue Subway, Phase 2 rely on funding from congestion pricing. This project, long overdue for the residents and businesses of transit-dependent East Harlem, will create three brand-new accessible stations at 106 St, 116 St, and 125 St and increase transit connectivity at the 125 St station, with connections to Metro-North trains and M60 Select Bus Service to LaGuardia Airport.
Signal modernization
Updating signals is one of the most important things we can do to improve service reliability, reduce delays, and allow us to increase train service in the future if needed. We're installing Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) to allow trains to move closer together, increasing throughput capacity and allowing service to recover from disruptions more quickly.
