Tap to Ride. On August 1, we’re launching our new contactless payment system for easier, more convenient ways to pay. Riders will be able to tap a contactless debit/credit card, phone with a mobile wallet, or watch at new fare readers on buses, on Green Line and Mattapan Line trolleys, and at gated subway stations. Our modern fare payment system offers a one-step option for pay-as-you-go travel, saving riders time on their trips.

“Mixed-use transit-oriented developments like the one to come in Downtown Attleboro are critical as we partner with local communities to promote economic development, introduce more affordable housing, and assist the Commonwealth in its climate change goals,” said General Manager and CEO Eng. “The MBTA is committed to partnering with the communities we serve to develop safe, walkable, interconnected public spaces focused around our stations. We thank the City of Attleboro Redevelopment Authority for their work on this RFQ and look forward to collaborating with them as the project moves forward.” Learn more about Attleboro Redevelopment Authority's Request for Qualifications for transit-oriented development across from the Commuter Rail's Attleboro station. #MBTA #Attleboro #Redevelopment #TransitOrientedDevelopment #PublicTransportation

Shoutout to our MBTA and MassDOT staff from the PRIDE Employee Resource Group and their families, who walked in Boston Pride For The People's #PrideParade alongside our 🌈Pride in Transit bus. We commend our colleagues for their dedication and showing their pride for the T and the LGBTQ community.

We applaud Desiree Patrice, Chief of Integrated Transit Programs, for being honored with the 2024 Women Making Transportation History Award from COMTO Boston.
