BOSTON (WHDH) - Changes to daily and monthly parking rates at MBTA lots and garages across the Bay State will take effect on Saturday.
After not tinkering with parking rates in more than 10 years, the MBTA says it decided to make several changes “to encourage parking at stations with more capacity.”
How are prices changing? The biggest changes include:
- Reduced weekend rates at almost every station
- Reduced weekday rates at locations with more availability
- Increased weekday rates at locations that reach capacity early in the day
- Changes to monthly rates that reflect new weekday rates

The changes will make it “easier” for commuters to “predict parking availability during peak travel hours,” according to the MBTA.
Profits from the rate increases will be used to address necessary maintenance and rehabilitation at the garages and lots.
The MBTA’s investments include:
- South Shore Garages: $64 million in a full-scale rehabilitation of Quincy Adams and Braintree garages resulting in better access, brighter lighting, and extending the useful life of the garages for decades to come.
- Surface Lot Reconstruction: More than $10 million to improve pavement, lighting, security, and customer access at MBTA surface parking lots.
- Better Maintenance: We’re investing more in things like painting, sweeping, and lighting to make our facilities better places to park.
- Real-Time Information: In our garages at Alewife, Beverly, Braintree, Quincy Adams, Route 128, Salem, Wonderland, and Woodland we’ll be providing real-time, accurate parking availability.
Below is a look at the price changes at all MBTA lots:
