		The MBTA has acknowledged the need to limit spending in its long-range finance plan, which assumes that the T will reduce its operating cost base by two percent annually.
		The MBTA's capital plan reflects the fundamental tension between the need to maintain and modernize the existing system on the one hand, and the pressure to expand and provide new services on the other.
		With the T struggling to finance maintenance and modernization needs before even considering expansion projects and a series of new lines still required under the Central Artery mitigation agreement, the expectation that the T will be able to meet roughly $3 billion in commitments by relying on its own capital resources is clearly unrealistic.
