Commuter Benefits Account
Save Money Getting To And From Work
A Commuter Benefits Account may be offered through your employer. They help you budget for and save money on your work-related travel expenses.
Make Your Daily Commute a Little Easier
Bus fare, subway tokens, parking permits — a Commuter Benefits Account reduces the cost of getting to and from work by letting you pay for some of those expenses with pre-tax dollars.
Enjoy the Ride
This account can make your ride to work a little easier by:
- Reducing your taxable income.
- Saving you money on transit and parking expenses.
- Giving you convenient access to your funds.
How It Works
A commuter account gives you the flexibility to use pre-tax funds in a smart way. You can decide how much money to contribute for the year when you enroll. This money is deducted evenly from pre-tax payroll deductions and placed into your account. The IRS does set a maximum contribution, however.
How Commuter Accounts Work
Your monthly balance will carry over into the next month, allowing you to make adjustments as needed. You can use this money for qualifying expenses to and from work.
Mass Transit
Pay for transit passes, tokens, fair cards, and other ways to use mass transit.
Parking
Pay for your work-related parking expenses, including meters, garages and lots.
Van Pooling
If a vehicle meets certain criteria, then your account may cover some of these expenses.
