Commuter Benefits Plan
The Commuter Benefit Plan allows you to set aside tax-free money for mass transit and parking expenses associated with your employment. Members of BCSA, BEST, PCTEA and Exempt Administrators are eligible for this benefit.
Participating in the Commuter Benefit Plan will enable you to save taxes on the money you use to pay for work-related mass transit and parking. You may elect to reduce your taxable pay by the amount you expect to pay for parking and or transit. The amount you elect is withheld from your paycheck. Your payroll withholdings are credited to an account that is available to pay the cost of your eligible expenses.
Eligible employees may enroll in or change contributions to a Commuter Benefit Plan at any time during the year. To ensure IRS guidelines are followed, contributions start the first paycheck of the month. This allows the participant access to the full monthly elected amount. Please use the table below to see when your payroll deduction will go into effect. If submitted after due date, your deduction will start the following month.
