MBTA would put naloxone nasal spray in every subway station

The MBTA would place two accessible, standalone naloxone boxes without alarms at each covered station. The requirement would cover every MBTA Blue Line, Green Line, Orange Line, and Red Line station. Each box would hold two units of 4-milligram naloxone nasal spray and be checked daily to replace used spray. Flyers around the boxes would provide training information, and nearby instructions would explain emergency use.

The MBTA would send a report to the House and Senate clerks and the chairs of their joint committee on mental health, substance use, and recovery. The report would assess how well the station naloxone program works. The report would evaluate benefits and costs and recommend ways to improve the program and expand it to other forms of transportation. The report would be filed no sooner than 12 months and no later than 18 months after the program starts.
