During negotiations for the 2007-2010 Agreement, the University and HUCTW spent considerable time in the Side Table on Housing and Transportation discussing benefits that would help HUCTW members with the high costs of their daily commutes to and from the Harvard campus. We worked together to create the Harvard-HUCTW Transportation Fund, which provides assistance with significant commuting and/or parking costs and attempts to equalize commuting costs among members.

Eligibility
The following criteria must be met in order to receive assistance from the Transportation Fund:

1. One must be a part of the HUCTW bargaining unit; and
2. One must accrue non-subsidized expenses higher than $100 per month or $1,200 per fiscal year associated with commuting to Harvard University. These expenses may include but are not limited to:
   • purchasing MBTA Commuter Rail passes for zone 6 and above;
   • parking at MBTA garages;
   • parking in the Longwood-Medical Area;
   • commuting via a private commuter bus line or a non-MBTA train.

Expenses incurred parking in a Cambridge garage owned by Harvard University, purchasing a T-pass for zones below zone 6, and for gasoline/tolls/wear of a privately owned vehicle are not eligible for reimbursement.
