try taking transit as part of your commute. We’ll also

Program Overview:
-
Eligibility:
employees of
Seaport TMA Member Companies
who currently drive alone to work are eligible.
-
Fill out the
online Registration
form. Once your registration is processed, we
will send your first $50 Commuter Check. Commuter checks
can be used towards your purchase of an MBTA pass, private bus
carrier pass, or other mass transit pass.
-
We will
automatically register in
Guaranteed Ride Home, which provides a free ride home via
taxi in case of emergency, illness or unexpected overtime while
at work when you aren't driving alone to work in your car.
-
In order to
receive your next commuter check, you must complete the
monthly
report at least two weeks prior to the
beginning of the next month so that you will receive your
check in time to purchase your pass.
-
After the
three months is up, you may be eligible for a transit subsidy
through your employer. To see if your employer provides a
transit subsidy, contact Seaport TMA.
Please note: if you sign up for the transit subsidy through your employer
before your three months in Try Transit is up, you will not be
able to use the commuter checks to pay for your pass,
since the cost of your transit pass is typically deducted
automatically from your paycheck.
-
In order to
enroll we must
receive your request by 12:00pm on the 5th of the month prior.
For example: December 5th is the last day to enroll for the
January benefit.
