Subsidized Transit Passes and Parking
Eligible commuters from MASCO's member institutions include:
Eligible employees from MASCO's member institutions will receive the wonderful incentives below.
Drive alone commuters with registered parking spaces must place their spaces "on hold" for three months during the Program. Participants are guaranteed their parking spaces back at anytime during the Program if they are not satisfied with taking public transportation. Participants will not be charged for their parking space while it is "on-hold" during the Program. Employees, who currently take public transit to work and who change their residential locations resulting in an increased cost of their transit passes, must prove that they have moved as of October 1, 2005. Employees currently enrolled in their institution's transit pass subsidy program should discontinue their enrollment in that Program while enrolled in the Longwood "T" Party Program. Incentives will be given, while supplies last. Commuters purchasing a bus pass will receive a $35 commuter check and commuters purchasing a subway pass will receive a $45 commuter check at the beginning of each month while in the program. At the beginning of each month, CommuteWorks will send a Commuter Check to each registered participant. Participants can use Commuter Checks at major MBTA Stations, such as North Station, South Station, and Government Center to buy the MBTA passes. Please note that most institutions in the LMA do not accept Commuter Checks at the Parking/Human Resources/Cashiers Offices. To learn about the locations in Massachusetts that accept Commuter Checks, please contact CommuteWorks at (617) 632-2796. Each participant may submit reimbursement for parking up to $2 per day (up to $46 per month). Parking will be reimbursed after the trial period for all three months.
