How do transit commuters take advantage of the pre-tax benefit?
Employees should ask their employer if the pre-tax transit benefit is available. Checking with the human resource, payroll or benefit areas within your company is a good place to start. The benefit may be referred to as the ?Commuter Tax Benefit.? If they do not already have it as part of their benefits programs, ask if it can be added. You can only participate through your employer; it?s the only way to access pre-tax salary.
