An historic investment in the New York Region The 2020-2024 Capital Program, approved in January 2020, invests $54.8 billion into the region’s subways, buses, railroads and the authority’s nine vehicular bridges and tunnels over the next five years to institutionalize and build on the progress of Governor Cuomo's Subway Action Plan and create a faster, more accessible, and more reliable public transportation system.

This historic plan – which represents by far the largest investment in MTA history – includes more than $40 billion in New York City Transit’s subways and buses including crucial signal upgrades on six line segments and expanding accessibility in the subway and Staten Island Railway systems.

The 2020-24 Capital Plan’s biggest priorities are to:

Upgrade stations and improving accessibility Invest in new buses and train cars Modernize signals on the busiest subway lines and commuter rail lines Build the region’s megaprojects Keep bridges & tunnels in good working condition Keep the MTA’s other infrastructure in good working condition The plan also describes key organizational changes to transform the MTA into a more efficient, flexible agency.

Page seems outdated. Mentions Cuomo no mention of Gov. Hochul.

If the money is going to the capital budget program then this actually strengthens my argument about the money not being dedicated to the subway system.

The plan isn't outdated. It's a plan that was approved during Cuomo governorship.

I don't understand what you're argument is about not funding the subway. Its more than 80% of the budget plan. It's literally in what you quoted.

How is that not improving the subway system?

Bridges, tunnels, suburban railways, and whatever is leftover for the subway.
