Click here for more information on EBPA: Commuter Benefits. If you are paying for
on campus parking out of pocket instead of through Pre-Payroll Tax Deductions or if you are taking
public transportation to campus
and/or park your car at a Commuter Lot near your T station or Commuter Rail, you will want to enroll in EBPA in order to get a card loaded with Pre-Tax funds for Transit and/or Parking. Otherwise, Payroll Deductions are already Pre-Tax (up to the specified limits) so there is no need to enroll in EBPA.
Parking on the SMFA and Grafton Campuses is usually handled through Pre-Tax Payroll Deductions, but the passes can now also be purchased out of pocket using a Credit Card or Check. Parking on the Boston Campus can be handled through either Pre-Tax Payroll Deductions if you purchase a monthly pass from one of the local affiliated garages (Hudson Street, Tremont Street, or Motor Mart). Or you can pay out of pocket for daily parking at one of the affiliated garages (Herald Street, Tremont Street, Traveler Street) or a garage of your choosing in the area.
Parking on the Medford campus is handled via a mobile app. A person can pay hourly, daily or monthly. Visit this site for information.
