Description

At the Technology Innovation Department (TID), our mission is to apply modern principles of research, design, and technology to make our transit system easy for all riders to use.

Effective and equitable public transit is essential to the social, economic, and environmental progress of Greater Boston.
The MBTA Technology Innovation team is working to transform how people get around the Boston area.

We are a team of designers, engineers, product and content specialists charged with bringing novel ideas, modern standards and a user-centered approach to technology at the T.

As the MBTA works to reinvent itself, we have a rare opportunity to craft the future of transportation for Boston and communities all around Eastern Massachusetts, as well as pioneer innovations for other transit agencies around the country.

Do you want to improve the daily transportation experience for 4.7 million people in the Boston region? Ready for the challenge? Then read on.

About the MBTA and the Fare Transformation Project The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is America's fifth largest transit system offering multi-modal transportation services to 175 member cities and towns and 4.7 million residents across a 3,200 square mile area.

It is a public authority and political subdivision of the Commonwealth. The MBTA operates heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus, and commuter boat services.

The MBTA's new fare payment system will make paying for transit services in Massachusetts easier and more convenient with a full replacement of the MBTA's automated fare collection system (the 'CharlieCard' system).

The new system will include new hardware in stations, on vehicles and at other locations throughout the MBTA service network and will be supported by a new back office.

It will improve how the MBTA currently collects fares and enable the sort of changes theTwants to make in the future.
