Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits

Help employees save on commuting costs by setting up a pre-tax transportation benefit to pay for transit fares. The pre-tax deduction can be combined with a partial or full subsidy from the employer. Please contact your benefits or payroll provider about setting up a pre-tax transportation deduction.  


Are you an employee?

Ask your supervisor or Human Resource department about your organization’s commuter benefits.
