As of July 15, 2016, the MBTA has made several changes to the Student Pass Program. Please read this update letter from MassDOT.

MBTA Passes Students are eligible for monthly student MBTA passes valid for unlimited travel on Bus, Subway, Express Bus, and Commuter Rail Zones 1A, 1, and 2 on school days. Students who are in grades 7 and 8 who live in the Boston Public Schools North Zone and live more than 1.5 miles from the school receive the passes for free. Students in grades 9 through 12 who live within the city of Boston and live more than two miles from Cathedral High School also receive the passes for free. Eligibility for a free pass is determined by the student’s address of record with the school. All other students are provided the opportunity to purchase the student MBTA passes from the school at a cost of $30 per month. Students must bring in cash or check (payable to Cathedral High School) to the main office during the last ten school days of the month to obtain a pass for the following calendar month.

Students who do not utilize the MBTA frequently may opt to use the MBTA “S Card” instead of a monthly student pass. The “S Card” is a Student CharlieCard which may be loaded in advance with money at any MBTA CharlieCard machine and permits students to use the MBTA at the reduced student fare (about 50% off standard fares). Lost monthly passes and “S Cards” may be replaced, usually within 72 hours, by contacting the main office.
