Commuter Benefits

The commuter benefit allows you to set aside money from your pay on a pre and post-tax basis to pay for eligible costs associated with commuting to and from work. The great advantage is that you don’t pay taxes on your expenses, thus lowering your taxable income.

There are two types of benefits offered, Transportation (transit) and Parking.

  • Transportation: Visa debit card
  • Parking: Visa debit card or file a manual claim
  • Commuter funds are not available for use on your debit card or for manual claim filing until they are withheld from your paycheck
  • The effective date of any changes to your commuter elections will vary based on timing of your individual payroll – if you need additional funds or a reduction of funds, please ensure you allow 1-2 pay periods for payroll processing
  • In 2023, the current pre-tax maximum contribution was $300/month

You can participate or change your purchase from month to month up to the ordering deadline date.
