MTA Benefits typically announces the release of the new Benefits & Discount Directory in the summer issue of MTA Today. Of course, these are not typical times.
Eighty percent of MTA Benefits’ discount vendors are small Massachusetts-based businesses that have been shuttered during the coronavirus pandemic. With a phased-in approach to the reopening of retail stores, gyms, museums and attractions, the updating of the 2020-2021 directory had to be put on hold.
MTAB’s thoughts and concerns continue to be with participating vendors as they struggle to survive. While MTAB awaits the appropriate time to reach out to these vendors, it asks that all members keep them in mind as the reopening process continues. Vendors have supported MTA members over the years, some for decades, and MTAB believes that members should be there to support them — regardless of whether they’re currently able to offer an MTA discount.
