Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is taking her first steps toward fulfilling a campaign pledge to create discounted fares for low-income riders who rely on public transportation.
Initial steps would include building an online application process and hiring staff to ensure the program moves ahead smoothly.
During her campaign last year, Healey pledged to pursue “low-income fares and unlimited bus transfers, as well as outlining a pathway to fare-free buses throughout the Commonwealth.” In their initial analysis of a reduced fare proposal, MBTA staff defined lower-income as 200% of the federal poverty level. The reduced fares would apply to all MBTA transit services including subway bus, commuter rail, ferry and paratransit services.
