    2017 Commuter Benefits Overview What Are Commuter Benefits?

    2017 Commuter Benefits Overview What are Commuter Benefits? Save money on your work-related commuter expenses through your employer's benefit. • The commuter benefit allows you to set aside money from your pay on a before- tax basis to pay for eligible costs associated with commuting to and from work. The great advantage is that you don't pay federal taxes on your expenses, thus lowering your taxable income. There are two types of benefits offered: • Transportation (transit) and Parking • You can participate in both at the same time if desired. There are multiple products you can utilize under each benefit: . Transportation: Voucher, standard passes, smart card and commuter check card pre-paid MasterCard for Transit . Parking: Pay the provider, parking checks, cash reimbursement and commuter check card pre-paid MasterCard Note: Mileage, tolls, fuel, carpooling, and business travel are not eligible for this program. What are the limits? • The 2016 Pre-tax limits for Transit is $255 and Parking is $255. In addition to your pre-tax contribution to the transit/parking account, you can set aside money on a post-tax basis to help fund your monthly transportation/parking costs. Note: Plan limits are subject to change at any time in the year. Popular Transit Products Reloadable Card Passes . Commuter Check Pre-Paid MasterCard . VENTRA . MTA/NYCT Annual Pass .
