The bill outlines the Fiscal Year 2026 transfer schedule for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), as mandated by Section 2E of Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025. It specifies an operating subsidy from the Commonwealth Transportation Fund to the MBTA, with a total appropriation of $470,200,000. The schedule details monthly transfer amounts, including a new entry for June 2026, which is set at $39,183,333.33, alongside the previously established monthly amounts for the other months.
Additionally, the bill includes an insertion of "OT Schedule Summary" to categorize the transfer amounts clearly. The monthly allocations are consistent throughout the fiscal year, ensuring the MBTA receives the necessary funding to maintain operations. The Comptroller of the Commonwealth, William McNamara, has committed to notifying the committees of any changes to this schedule.
