Commuter Benefits

The government permits the employer to implement a Qualified Transportation Benefits program for employees who incur qualified expenses commuting to and from work.  The program allows an employee to pay for their monthly transportation expenses with pre-tax dollars - up to IRS monthly limits in effect at that point in time.  An employee who participates in the program will increase their disposable income because of the reduction in FICA and Income Taxes due to the pre-tax dollars.  The amount of the employee's increase is dependent on their compensation and commuter expenses.
