Gas prices are rising daily, bridge tolls are going up, and transit fares have increased too. Simply getting to work is becoming a major expense. There is not a lot we can do about gas prices and bridge tolls, but there is a way to bring transit costs down—by up to 40% in fact. The Commuter Check program saves employees up to $480 per year. It saves employers money too, and, with the new Commuter Check Direct enhancement, it’s simpler to administer than ever before!

Commuter Check transit vouchers are familiar to many Bay Area commuters. Employers offer them either as a company-paid or employee-paid benefit. Employers love Commuter Check, because it reduces payroll taxes and increases employee retention, loyalty and satisfaction. Commuter Check gives employees about 40% more bang for their transit buck.

Commuter Check Direct is the newest and simplest way to administer a Section 132 (f) transit benefit. Employers reap immediate benefits, while assuming virtually none of the duties associated with administering a transit benefit program. Commuter Check Direct can cost as little as $1 per employee per month. Employees enjoy the convenience of a user-friendly website that allows them to self-manage their transit benefit.
