Governor Maura Healey recently signed a tax bill offering new breaks for people who commute by bike or public transportation.
This new bill–amending a section of state law that grants a $750 tax deduction to residents who use E-ZPass, purchase monthly or weekly MBTA passes, or commute on ferry and regional bus networks–will now include bike share memberships and costs related to commuting by bike or electric bike.
The maximum $750 deduction applies to any costs above $150 for either single or married taxpayers, and also includes expenses related to repairing or storing bicycles.
