What are the transportation and fitness benefits?
All employees who use mass transportation or van pools to commute to work are eligible for the transportation subsidy program. This program gives each enrolled employee $100 a month for mass transportation and van pools. The employee receives the subsidy through a voucher program. The subsidy will be distributed to employees through the Human Resources Office. Employees are not eligible to participate in the subsidy program if they received federally subsidized parking. Executive Order 13150 entitled, Federal Workforce Transportation establishes Fish and Wildlife Service policy and procedures for this program. In an effort to promote and maintain the physical and mental fitness of Service employees through a health services program, the Service, after the end of each calendar year, will reimburse 50 per cent of an individual membership fee for a commercial, non-federally sponsored, fitness center, up to $275 per year for all permanent Service employees.
