Perq Product Pricing
Perq is the MBTA sales channel for employers who want to buy passes for their employees. If the employer wishes to pass on a portion of the cost of passes to their employee, the employee can be charged using pretax payroll deductions, allowing them to save on the cost of buying passes at vending machines.
Physical passes will be sent directly to the employer for distribution. Commuter Rail 10-ride passes and digital passes will be loaded onto the rider’s mTicket app.
