Capital Budget Oversight Committee

The Capital Budget Oversight Committee is charged with ongoing review of MBTA capital spending in general, and specifically the development of an annual report scrutinizing the Authority’s annual Capital Investment Plan and the quinquennial Program for Mass Transportation. These reports should consider the Authority’s proposals and assumptions of revenue and expense and highlight any changes in spending compared to prior years, or that seem unreasonable in the opinion of the committee. The reports should also include recommendations to policy makers about certain projects or programs, or other capital spending matters deemed important to member communities by the committee.
