Commuter Choice Tax Benefit

This transit benefit program gives companies and their employees an opportunity to use pre-tax dollars to pay for bus, train or vanpool fares. The Internal Revenue Service Section 132(f) currently allows employers and/or employees to set aside funds each month before taxes for public transportation and vanpooling. Tax provisions allow parking costs to be taken as a tax-free fringe benefit for anyone who drives to work.

Best Workplace for Commuters

This innovative membership program provides national recognition and aligns your company with other leading employers who have developed employee commuter programs that reduce their impact on the environment and the company's bottom line. Employers that meet the National Standard of Excellence in commuter benefits can receive public recognition, access to web training and tools, recognition items to display achievement and more.
