MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis Area Transit Authority said the land underneath its maintenance facility is sinking and is costing them millions in repairs each year. It's only adding to the list of problems the agency is trying to fix. MATA reports it's in a $60 million deficit. "I would kind of say MATA is in a little bit of rehab right now," MATA's Interim CEO Bacarra Mauldin said. She took WREG Investigators on a tour of the maintenance facility off North Watkins. She said the building was constructed on a landfill nearly five decades ago. "If there's any project we should be full speed ahead on, it's getting a maintenance facility," she said. "Here are the bays we work on their buses. You see that. How the ground is settling under there. This ground that we are on is sinking." She told us it is "continuously sinking, so they are continuously sinking money into this facility." Mauldin told us they spend about $5 million a year on the facility to keep it afloat. In 2022, the Federal Transit Administration announced they were giving MATA $76 million for new buses and a new maintenance facility. MATA's CEO at the time, Gary Rosenfeld, celebrated the positive impact it would have. "Reliable buses are an important aspect of service delivery, and this will help us gain efficiency in our maintenance operations," he said. Rosenfeld suddenly left MATA 18 months later. Soon after that, the news of the deficit made headlines. Memphis Mayor Paul Young called on an independent transit consulting firm to help them figure MATA's operations and what went wrong. In October, Transpro's initial report was released. It addressed the issues at the maintenance facility and suggested MATA salvage decommissioned vehicles and scrap metal to pay for needed short-term repairs. It also stated MATA reported to the FTA in June and applied this year to build the facility. The project would be complete in 2029. Transpro said as of June, preliminary engineering was still in progress and claimed MATA hasn't even developed a comprehensive facility master plan. MATA just said the current plan is a "living document with continuous updates as needs and budget commands." Maudin said in the tour, they identified new land in an industrial zone, and it's not on a landfill. "I can't go through a lot of details. We are going through the legal process and negotiations," she said. Mauldin stressed she's been meeting with the city mayor and his administration weekly as they continue to figure out the best plan moving forward. She said the board will determine what to do with the current land the maintenance facility is on, but city code states ultimately, that call is left up to the council.
