City of Somerville MBTA Pass Limited-Term BenefitProgram

Page 1 of 2

Welcome to the City of Somerville MBTA Pass Benefit Program! This program is being piloted for FY2024 by the City of Somerville at no cost to you. You are welcome to use this pass for any travel, not just your work commute. It works just like an MBTA LinkPass and covers travel on MBTA buses and Silver Line as well as the Red, Orange, Blue, and Green lines, which we refer to as “subway” in this survey. It does not cover the MBTA Commuter Rail, Ferry, Express Bus, or Amtrak.

Please fill out this survey to let us know if and how you currently use transit. We will use your answers to assess the usefulness of this benefit and help the City and MBTA understand any impacts it may have on the way employees travel.
