MGH MBTA subsidy increases

MGHers who are enrolled in the MBTA pass program can now enjoy an increase in their subsidy from 26 percent to 30 percent, beginning with the September passes and the August payroll deduction.

Currently there are 7,000 MGHers who receive this transportation benefit. The MBTA payroll deductions below illustrate an employee’s pre- and after-tax contributions. On average an additional 30 percent may be deducted from the pre-tax portion as a tax savings. For more information, contact MGH Commuter Services at (617) 724-6588.
