LOCATION

Join the Discussion - MBTA Fare and Service Changes (Please note that the location has been moved to Cambridge City Hall)

Today
the MBTA is serving more people more efficiently than ever before—with
customers taking more than 1.3 million trips every weekday. Despite
this, the T faces one of the most serious financial crises in its
history.

In
Fiscal Year 2013 (July 2012 to June 2013), available revenues are
projected to be as much as $185 million below operating expenses. This
structural deficit will continue to grow through Fiscal Year 2016 and
beyond under current conditions. To maintain financial stability, the T
will have to make decisions in the next few months that will
significantly impact fares and service. This information describes in
detail the options under consideration and how they will affect you.


Join the Discussion Guide

A
guide to proposed MBTA fare and service changes will be available in
Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, and Cape
Verdean Creole.

If
requested in advance, the MBTA will make available copies of the
printed materials in the following additional languages: French,
Russian, Cambodian, Italian, Greek, Arabic, Albanian, Korean, Polish and
Gujarati.
