Arrangements allowing Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) customers to secure reduced rates on vehicle hire services are available. These programs provide opportunities to lower transportation expenses when needing temporary vehicle access. For example, an MTA rider might present proof of ridership to a participating rental company to obtain a specified percentage off the standard rental fee.
Such offerings can be particularly advantageous for individuals who utilize public transit regularly but occasionally require a personal vehicle for errands, travel, or other specific needs. The advantages include cost savings, enhanced flexibility in transportation options, and promotion of public transit usage by addressing limitations through supplementary services. Historically, these partnerships have aimed to encourage multi-modal transit solutions.
