CatchCard
Customers may obtain a CatchCard at the MWRTA Central Hub or from drivers on Fixed Route vehicles. CatchCards have no initial value. Customers may load value onto their card through the Catch App or at the Blandin Hub during regular business hours. Customers will not be able to use cash to add value to their CatchCard on any MWRTA vehicles.
*MWRTA will no longer accept payments through MBTA CharlieCards. Individuals with a CharlieCard that still contains funds may bring it to the MWRTA Central Hub and receive a new CatchCard with matching funds loaded on it.
Monthly Pass
MWRTA is excited to offer a new monthly pass option to customers, providing an affordable way to ride all month long! Monthly passes can be set to automatically renew every month using a registered credit card, or they can be purchased on a month-to-month basis. Please visit the MWRTA Central Hub at 15 Blandin Ave., Framingham MA 01702 to obtain a monthly pass. Riders with an existing CatchCard can switch to a monthly pass by doing so in the Catch App.
