  • Date: 02/13/2024
  • Up to 60,000 Massachusetts residents could qualify for half-price fares on subways, buses, commuter trains and ferries as soon as this spring, pending approval of a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority proposal it briefed reporters about on Monday.
  • If approved by the MBTA Board of Directors, the new program would apply to nondisabled riders ages 26 to 64 with incomes that are 200% of the federal poverty line or less.
  • The agency is reaching out to community-based partners, one or more of which it will select to help eligible participants access the program.
