MBTA weekend commuter rail service and transit services for individuals with disabilities are on the Baker administration’s “menu” of potential service cuts to help close a $42 million gap in the transit agency’s $2 billion budget.

“This is really about resetting the MBTA’s budget in a way that is financially sustainable not just for fiscal 2018, but over time,” Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack told reporters before a presentation to the T’s Fiscal and Management Control Board on Monday. She said, “We need to ask questions, hard questions, about what we want to run.”

Suspending weekend service for a year and making capital upgrades to the rail lines during that time would save the MBTA $10 million, T officials said.

Another option under consideration is suspending for one year “premium trips” on The Ride, the T’s para-transit service for people with disabilities, which would save $7 million, according to the T. The premium trips are those not mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act and include journeys outside of the MBTA’s core area, more than three quarters of a mile from active bus and subway service.

The proposed service cuts would likely encounter resistance from people that use premium trips on The Ride and weekend rail service. If the T decides to move forward on those cuts, there would need to be additional processes followed, according to Pollack, who envisioned a public conversation about the budget over the next month.

Other proposed savings could be attained by outsourcing repair work and customer service, along with expected new revenue from ads and a Keolis Commuter Services plan to boost revenue on the commuter rail, both through promoting railway commuting and enforcing fare collection.

“These are the things that have been left that haven’t been done yet, and there’s a $42 million gap to fill,” Pollack said, describing a “menu of options” for balancing the budget. She said, “We definitely need to tap at least some of these options.”

The T has also sketched in a $7 million increase for “strategic operations hires” that could be made if other savings are realized. In general, the T plans to keep headcount flat.
