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.

Commuter Account

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.
