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 from July 2025 through May 2026.
Additionally, the bill includes an insertion of an "OT Schedule Summary," which organizes the monthly transfer amounts for clarity. The total appropriation remains consistent at $470,200,000. The Comptroller of the Commonwealth, William McNamara, has committed to notifying the committees of any changes to this schedule and has provided a list of recipients for the communication regarding the MBTA contract assistance.
