Article Highlights
New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority is moving to the next phase of its fare-evasion project–accepting bids this month from vendors for more new fare gates designed to thwart fare evasion that costs the authority hundreds of millions of dollar from its subway system alone.
MTA has budgeted $1.1 billion as part of a 2025-2029 capital plan to upgrade fare gates in those 150 stations. MTA would not clarify how much of that budget will go to station infrastructure changes and how much will go to purchasing fare gates.

By the end of October, officials at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or MTA, are expected to receive bids for the next round of new gates for 20 subway stations. When completed, the $1.1 billion project will cover 150 MTA subway stations in New York City. It’s expected to be the largest transit fare gate project of its kind in the U.S.
Cubic Transportation Systems, Conduent, now known as Novvan after a recent sale of the Conduent Transit business to Canada-based Modaxo Group, and STraffic, installed gates at no cost to the authority, as part of the pilot demonstration starting in late 2025. The three vendors were selected from a group of 12 companies that initially expressed interest in the project.
