Boston, MA seeks reductions in car traffic and emissions through employee transit incentive package
Boston, MA Employee Transit Incentive Traffic Reduction
City employees previously received discounted bikeshare memberships and monthly transit passes. The new package covers 65% of the cost of an MBTA pass for Boston's 18,000 employees. This initiative also issues free Bluebikes memberships typically priced at $119 per year. Transit incentives bring active transit in parity with car-centric incentives like free garage parking. Boston anticipates increased employee satisfaction and retention through affordable transit options.
