Newburyport/Rockport monthly pass update for July During July, MIT commuters who ride on the Newburyport/Rockport line with an MIT-subsidized monthly T-pass for any zone on this line may want to switch to a Zone 1A monthly pass to take advantage of a reduced fare. Here is how to switch to a Zone 1A pass (and back again): By Monday, June 10, by 3:00 PM If you are a Newburyport/Rockport commuter and you want a Zone 1A T-pass for JULY: Change your monthly pass type to a Zone 1A pass for July through the Commuting Benefits section in your Atlas account. Your Zone 1A T-pass payroll deduction will be just $36 in July. Note: This reduced fare is only available on the Newburyport/Rockport commuter rail line and does not apply to any other lines. Monday, June 10 – at 3:00 PM is the final deadline for updating to a Zone 1A pass for July. After that, we will be unable to switch your pass and refunds are not available. By Wednesday, July 10: To return to your usual zone pass for AUGUST: Change your monthly pass type back to your usual zone pass through the Commuting Benefits section in your Atlas account. See the Commuter Connections page on our website for general T-pass information. Wednesday, July 10 is the last day when you can make this switch for August (as with any MIT-subsidized commuter rail pass, your order must be placed by the 10th of the month).
