马萨诸塞州「无车长者」免费乘车试点10月13日开放登记 75岁以上可免费乘 MBTA
波士顿（Boston）——马萨诸塞州州长 Maura Healey 宣布，「无车长者试点计划」（Car-Free Seniors Pilot Program）自2026年10月13日起开放登记，为75岁以上、不再开车的该州居民提供免费乘坐马萨诸塞湾交通局（MBTA）服务的资格。
州长办公室介绍，该计划由州政府与 MBTA 及州机动车登记局（RMV）合作推出：符合条件的长者持有马萨诸塞州身份证（而非驾照），即可申领免费乘车凭证，在 MBTA 的巴士、地铁、渡轮与通勤铁路全线使用。Healey 说，本届政府致力让马萨诸塞州在人生每个阶段都更负担得起、更无障碍、更互联互通，长者决定停止开车后，交通不应成为新的花费或障碍。副州长 Kim Driscoll 表示，能顺利出行是保持独立生活的重要部分，该计划为长者提供免费可靠的公共交通选择。

Massachusetts Car-Free Seniors Pilot Opens Enrollment October 13 for Free MBTA Rides
Boston — Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announced that enrollment for the Car-Free Seniors Pilot Program, a new initiative providing free MBTA service to Massachusetts residents age 75 and older who no longer drive, opened on October 13, 2026.
Run in partnership with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), the program allows eligible seniors who hold a Massachusetts identification card, rather than a driver's license, to obtain a free-fare credential valid across the MBTA's bus, subway, ferry and Commuter Rail services. "My administration is focused on making Massachusetts more affordable, accessible, and connected for people at every stage of life," Governor Healey said. "For seniors who have made the decision to stop driving, transportation shouldn't become another cost or barrier." Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll added that being able to get where you need to go is a big part of staying independent, and the program gives seniors a free and reliable option on the T.
