What if you could add a benefit for your employees and save the company money at the same time?
Ever hear of Commuter Choice? As defined by the Federal Transit Administration:
Commuter Choice is a provision of the Internal Revenue Code [(26 USC 132(f)] that permits an employer to pay for an employee’s cost of commuting to work, in other than a single occupancy vehicle.
Commuter Choice currently allows employers to offer their employees a tax free fringe benefit of up to $230 per month if they ride transit or a vanpool to get to work.
The program is designed to improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion, and conserve energy by encouraging employees to commute by means other than single occupancy motor vehicles.
Like you, most employers today are faced with the spiraling costs of doing business, and yet still want to provide incentives to keep valued employees. Commuter Choice could be a way to save the company some money and reward your employees at the same time.
