Introducing Harvard's new Transit Pass Program for faculty and staff including discounted MBTA passes and much more!

Beginning March 17, 2009 Harvard University will begin offering to benefits eligible faculty and staff pre-tax savings on purchases of private transit passes and commuter checks up to the new IRS pre-tax limit of $230.

This enhances the existing program which currently offers a 50% subsidy for monthly MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) public transit system passes including buses, subways, commuter rail lines and boats.

The cost of all Transit Products (MBTA & Private) is deducted on a pre-tax basis with most individuals saving approximately 35% depending upon their income tax bracket and withholdings.
