MBTA extends parking contract with Keolis

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has awarded a one-year contract extension to Keolis Commuter Services to manage more than 100 MBTA-owned parking facilities.

Keolis has held the contract since 2022. In addition to the 91 surface lots and 10 parking garages in the initial contract, Keolis will also now manage five recently-opened lots on the Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Line, MBTA officials said in a press release.

Keolis' management of the parking facilities has lowered costs for the MBTA, sustained revenue growth since 2022 and reduced cleanliness in the facilities, they said.
