Transit Account Information
With a Transit/Commuter benefits plan, you can put aside money before taxes are taken from your paycheck to cover commuting expenses. There are three types of commuter benefit accounts:
- Mass Transit – includes bus, subway, and train fare
- Parking – for parking expenses near your place of work
- Van pool – for commuter vehicles that carry 6 or more passengers
Transit Debit Card
If you have a benefits debit card, you can use it to pay for your transit/commuter expenses. The card can be used at bus and subway terminals, or parking locations (where accepted). In some locations, like in many major cities, your card may have restrictions so that it can only be used where fare is sold.
If you don’t have a benefits card, you’ll have to pay up front, then submit a claim for reimbursement.
Transit / Commuter Limits
Transit/Commuter benefit limits are calculated on a monthly basis (as opposed to yearly). Check the IRS website on Section 132 accounts for more information.
You can change your contributions at any time during the plan year.
