Being an MTA member comes with a wide range of valuable benefits that extend well beyond the workplace! These benefits are available to all members and are designed to provide meaningful savings, practical support, and opportunities for professional growth. Here are four that can make a real difference in your everyday life.
Travel savings for every kind of getaway
One of our most popular programs is Access Nationwide Discounts. Whether planning a weekend escape, a family vacation, or an international trip, Access helps members stretch their travel budget further. Members can save on hotels, guided tours, cruise packages, car rentals, and so much more. From local trips to long-distance adventures, these discounts make it easier to plan time away while keeping travel costs lower.
Auto insurance discounts that add up
Another significant source of savings comes through auto insurance. MTA members have access to exclusive rates through trusted providers like Educators Insurance Agency (EIA), which offers tailored coverage options for members and their families with savings of up to 10 percent. Liberty Mutual, another MTA Benefits partner, also offers members savings of up to 12 percent on auto insurance. These options give members flexibility to choose coverage that fits their needs while still reducing costs.
Support for eldercare planning and decisions
Many members are navigating the responsibilities of caring for aging loved ones, which can be both emotionally and logistically challenging. Through YourCare360, members receive access to a free referral service that connects them with certified senior care advocates. These professionals help guide families through important decisions such as in-home caregiving, senior housing options, and long-term care planning. Having access to this kind of support can ease stress and provide clarity during what is often a complex and overwhelming time, helping members feel more confident about the choices they make for their loved ones.
Affordable online graduate courses
Interested in continuing your education? MTA members can take advantage of discounted online graduate courses offered in partnership with Lake Superior State University (LSSU) and VESi. For an annual subscription fee of $275, members can enroll in up to three non-matriculated courses per year, with flexible options that include one course per term or additional summer coursework. Courses include Response to Intervention (RTI), which supports students who need additional academic or behavioral help; Behavior is Language, which explores strategies for understanding and improving student behavior; and Build School Communities, which focuses on creating inclusive, supportive classroom environments.
Here at MTA Benefits, we offer perks that can help members save money, access support, and take advantage of new discounts when they need them most. From reducing travel and insurance costs to making professional learning more affordable, these resources are built to be practical and useful.
