Commuter Benefit Accounts

The IRS allows employees to set aside tax-free money for certain work-related mass transit and parking expenses. For 2006, the limits are $105 per month for mass transit and $205 per month for parking.

Mass transit can include commuter train, bus and van pool. Parking can include surface lots and parking garages paid on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Funds in the Commuter Benefit Accounts can roll forward from month to month and can span plan years. Employees can also change the contribution amounts on a month to month basis

When should you provide Commuter Benefit Accounts?

Commuter Benefit Accounts are appropriate if:

Your workplace is located in an urban area

You want to encourage fuel conservation

You have employees that rely on mass transit to come to work

You want to improve employee recruiting and retention

What if we are a small employer?

The BenefitsWorkshop offers a number of unique options that make these plans affordable even if you have ten or fewer employees.
