About the program…

The MBTA’s Spring Semester Pass Program allows students to pre-pay their four monthly "T" passes (February 1 – May 31, 2009) and thereby receive approximately 11% off the regular monthly "T" pass prices. Additionally, students who participate in the Semester Pass program will be assured that their passes will be available for pickup on or after the 27th of each preceding month. (For example, the September Passes will ready for pickup on or after August 27; just in time for their September use.)

Passes will be available for monthly pick up from the Office of Parking & Transportation Services, which is located on the second floor of the George Sherman Union, 775 Commonwealth Avenue, unless on-campus mail room delivery is specified.*

* Eligible campus residents can choose to pick their monthly passes from their residence hall mail rooms but they must apply for their Semester Passes on-line and live in an eligible University housing facility to take advantage of the residence hall mailroom pick-up option.
