Tax Benefits

The Commuter Tax Benefit program allows commuters the opportunity to pay for a portion of their commuting expenses with pre-tax dollars. This can result in a tax savings for commuters of more than $900 a year and a reduced taxable payroll for employers.

As of March 2009, federal tax law allows commuters to set aside up to $230 per month to pay for mass transit and vanpool fares, as well as up to $230 for qualified parking, for a combined total of up to $460 per month.

Commuter tax incentive programs are making a difference to thousands of employees throughout the state. In addition to monetary rewards, participants enjoy a less stressful commute and take satisfaction in knowing they are helping relieve congestion and reduce the environmental impact of driving alone to work.
