Investing in the state of good repair of these assets and system enhancements is critical for MDOT MTA to deliver safe, efficient, reliable, and customer-focused services. This CNI, consistent with ongoing transit asset management (TAM) analyses, outlines the unconstrained investment needs between 2019 and 2028 that will help MDOT MTA meet current and future service demands and system performance goals. MDOT MTA’s CNI captures and quantifies ongoing MDOT MTA’s six transit modes and 2,560 square-mile unconstrained capital needs over a 10-year period. It service area connects communities with Maryland’s job presents information from MDOT MTA’s ongoing asset centers, schools, healthcare, retail, and cultural centers. management analyses and needs inventory, and is intended to support improved decision making MDOT MTA’s current asset inventory is valued at $9.5 regarding the maintenance and enhancements billion with the largest category consisting of facilities required to keep the overall transit system in a state of assets, and the largest mode represented by Metro good repair and meet service demands over the long- SubwayLink. (see Figure ES-1). term. Capital needs include the costs to: maintain assets in a state of good repair; meet existing or new Figure ES-1. Replacement Value of Current Inventory by regulatory requirements; invest in transit infrastructure, Asset Category and Mode (2018$) assets, or service enhancements; and modernize or adapt to new technologies or new mobility options. The Stations 11% Federal Transit Administration (FTA) defines state of Vehicles good repair (SGR) as, “the condition in which a capital 26% asset is able to operate at a full level of performance.” Facilities Current Asset 28% Inventory This CNI captures and quantifies the capital investment $9.5B needs for MDOT MTA-owned assets over the 10-year Guideway period for the following modes: Systems 24% 11% ― Local Bus (CityLink, LocalLink, and Express Mobility Link Agencywide BusLink) 1% 1% ― Commuter Bus Commuter Bus Local Bus 0.1% ― MARC Train Light RailLink 15% ― Metro SubwayLink 17% ― Light RailLink ― MobilityLink MARC Train 21% In addition, an Agencywide category captures Metro technology and operations-related capital needs that SubwayLink serve multiple modes (e.g., system technology, police, 45% treasury, and operations support). 10- YEAR CAPITAL NEEDS | CY2019- 2028 1 Per Maryland Chapter 352 of the 2018 legislative STATE OF GOOD REPAIR NEEDS session, MDOT MTA’s CNI will be updated at least once The determination of MDOT MTA’s SGR needs is based every three years. Routine maintenance activities are on an analysis of the current inventory of assets, using considered operating expenses and are not included a customized version of FTA’s capital needs decision in this CNI. Significant investments and funding support tool, Transit Economic Requirements Model constraints related to the Purple Line, Locally (TERM) Lite. Each record in this inventory documents Operated Transit Systems (LOTS), and freight rail are asset or component type, age, expected useful life, not included in this analysis. replacement value, and other attributes required to assess the asset’s reinvestment requirements. Reinvestment types include: rehabilitations that TOTAL 10-YEAR NEEDS require capital maintenance (including major Between 2019 and 2028, MDOT MTA’s total capital overhauls, renovations, or rebuilds), replacement, and needs are expected to reach more than $5.7 billion in annual capital maintenance (for tunnels or bridges, for year of expenditure (YOE) dollars, including an example, where periodic capital investments are inflation rate of three percent. The largest category of required to maintain a state of good repair). The MDOT total needs over the 10-year period is vehicles (30 MTA modified version of TERM Lite assigns a priority percent). Stations comprise the next largest category score to SGR needs using multi-criteria decision of total needs (25 percent), followed by systems (19 analysis (MCDA) aligned to the four cornerstones of its percent), guideway (14 percent), and facilities vision. As MDOT MTA’s condition assessment program investment needs (12 percent). continues to mature, new physical condition data will be incorporated in TERM Lite, and MDOT MTA’s capital SGR needs for MDOT MTA’s current asset inventory decision making to refine needs. drive 81 percent of total needs. Enhancement needs to meet system performance goals as well as current and An estimated $4.6 billion in SGR needs have been future service demand, make up 19 percent of total identified over the next 10 years, including $1.5 billion needs over the 10-year period (see Figure ES-2). in deferred capital maintenance (“SGR backlog”) that is presented in the first year (see Figure ES-3 on the Figure ES-2.

For context, MDOT MTA is not alone Vehicles in addressing its SGR backlog; many other transit Stations 30% 25% agencies face similar challenges and the national SGR backlog is estimated at $90 billion per the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 2015 Condition and Total 10-Yr Capital Performance Report.
