5. Student MBTA/M7 Charlie card

Current MBTA/M7 Charlie cards for the SY22-23 school year will remain active until August 31st, 2023 as fare free. Students should hold onto their current cards throughout the summer and can continue to ride the MBTA system fare-free (they do not need to load money onto their Charlie Cards). This policy applies to all students in the city of Boston. If students happen to lose their card during the summer, they can request a new card using the google form.


New M7 MBTA Charlie cards for next school year will be passed out on the first day of school on Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023.
