Commuter Benefits

Use pretax dollars to pay for your parking or public transportation expenses while commuting to work. This program is voluntary and you may participate on a month-to-month basis.

Whether you drive, ride the train, take the bus, or use a vanpool, commuter benefits are designed to make your daily commute more affordable. By using pretax payroll deductions, you can reduce your taxable income and keep more of your earnings—while getting to and from work in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Transportation savings accounts—up to $340 per month tax-free

Do you have out-of-pocket commuting expenses for public transportation, van pooling, or for worksite parking? If so, you can save on taxes by enrolling in the EBC transportation savings account.

The account lets you set aside money—before it’s taxed—through payroll deduction. You may enroll in or stop this program at any time. Money in the account can be used in future months or plan years.

Set aside up to $340 per month for work-related parking expenses and up to $340 per month for work-related commute expenses.
