With more employees returning to the office, the demand for commuter benefits is increasing as commuting to work becomes a regular part of employees’ routines. Offering commuter benefits can provide a valuable incentive for employees, helping them manage the costs associated with their daily commute while promoting their overall well-being.
Commuter benefits provide tax savings of 30% or more, easing the financial burden of daily commuting. By setting aside pre-tax funds, employees can save significantly (as much as $1,500 annually for both mass transit and parking), enhancing their job satisfaction and productivity.
Eligible expenses covered by commuter benefit programs typically include both pre-tax mass transit and pre-tax parking. The Benefit Resource commuter benefit card provides universal access to transit providers throughout the United States ensuring flexibility for employees with extended commutes or multiple modes of transportation.
Flexibility is crucial as commuting patterns change due to staggered work hours, remote work arrangements, or other factors. Programs allowing adjustments based on their schedule and their needs, and rollover of unused balances reduce stress and ensure employees maximize their benefits.
By offering commuter benefits, your clients can help their employees better manage the increasing demands of commuting to work, alleviate financial strain, and enhance their job satisfaction. Learn more.
