MBTA Semester Student Passes

Now Accepting Orders for the Spring 2010 Semester T-Passes

We are now accepting orders for the Spring Semester T-Pass. The preferred method of ordering is online. You may order your T-pass on the secure website using a credit card or checking account. If you choose to order your T-pass by mail, please note that all orders must be received by Monday, January 4, 2010.

T-passes will be available a few days prior to the beginning of each month at the Cashier's Window (W-207, 2nd Floor, Main College Building) or the School of Management MBA Office (for students in the School of Management).


One semester's worth of monthly MBTA passes may be ordered through the Office of Student Leadership and Activities at MCB-W002. Through this program, students receive four monthly passes at an 11% discount from the normal MBTA cost. The deadline set by the MBTA for purchasing fall passes (including September, October, November, and December) is usually in the first week of August and the deadline for purchasing spring passes (including February, March, April, and May) is usually in mid-January. Discounted passes are not available for sale on a monthly basis. Students who do not meet the deadline set by the MBTA for participating in the semester program should by passes directly from the MBTA if they decide they still need monthly passes.

What sort of pass should I get?

Should I get an MBTA Monthly Pass?

We advise students to determine how often they intend to travel on the "T" before purchasing a monthly pass. Those who use the "T" only a few times a week, may not need to purchase a pass. For example, students who will use the "T" less than 30 times in a month may actually save money by not purchasing a monthly pass. (30 trips on the MBTA at $1.70 each for four months is $204.00; the Link Pass costs $210.04)

Are discounted passes available during the summer months?

Unfortunately, the MBTA does not offer discounted passes during the summer.
