Are pets allowed on the MBTA?

No, pets are not allowed on the MBTA. However, service animals are permitted to accompany individuals with disabilities while utilizing public transportation. This includes guide dogs, signal dogs, and other animals individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities. These service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. It is important to ensure that the service animals do not obstruct pathways or disturb other passengers. For passengers traveling with pets, alternative arrangements should be made, such as considering a pet carrier or using other transportation modes that allow pets.
