Commuter Choice Initiative

The Commuter Choice tax benefit creates big savings for commuters and employers.

Employers can increase their benefits package and reduce their payroll taxes by offering Commuter Choice benefits, which can be paid for by the employer, by the employee (through a pre-tax salary deduction), or by a combination of both employer and the employee. These benefits are offered through Section 132 of the Federal tax code.

Employers can create a Commuter Choice program to incorporate transit/vanpool benefits, qualified parking benefits, and/or parking cash out benefits. The program can include all or any of these benefits.
Employers have the flexibility to choose what to offer, and to choose who is eligible to receive the benefits.

To find out more about the Commuter Choice benefit, visit www.fta.dot.gov and select Commuter Choice.
