Transportation Services (TS) supports the purchase and distribution of MBTA passes for the Charles River (CRC), Medical Campus (MED) and the issuance of BU CRC parking permits to various constituencies (Students, Employees, Affiliates, & Guests). Transportation Services has implemented a cloud-based web application named Transportation Management Portal (TMP) supported by Electronic Data Collection/Automated Issuance Management System (EDC/AIMS).
The Transportation Management Portal allows for self-service purchases for a variety of virtual permit options. Students may purchase parking permits, or MBTA passes via credit card or student account billing (if eligible). Employees may opt for daily parking or monthly permits payable via credit card or payroll deduction (if eligible). Employees purchasing MBTA passes will continue to use the mainframe web application.
Benefits
The Transportation Management Portal allows greater access via self-service options for purchasing and managing parking permits. Self-service reduces administrative overhead and will enable clients to maintain their data accurately.
