Taking public transit saves big money

Boston was the top city in the nation in terms of money that can be saved by taking public transportation, according to a survey released yesterday by the American Public Transportation Association.

The survey found that Boston residents can save $12,632 a year by taking the bus or subway instead of driving to work. New York and San Francisco were second and third on the list.

Remember that your company offers you programs and incentives to encourage you to use transit, including paying some (or all) of your transit costs at many companies. If you have any questions about these incentives, contact your Transportation Coordinator today.
