What is the Transportation Subsidy Program?
The Transportation Subsidy Program is a program of financial incentives designed to encourage employees to use mass transit for commuting to and from work. The Transportation Subsidy Program originated with the Federal Employees Clean Air Incentives Act of 1993, (P.L. 103-72), and was later expanded to include a pre-tax provision, after the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178) was passed. In April, 2000, Executive Order 13150 mandated that all Federal agencies in the National Capital Region (NCR) implement a Transportation Subsidy Program by October 1, 2000. On July 26, 2000, the Department adopted the policy of making the Transportation Subsidy Program available to all qualifying Department of the Interior (DOI) employees nationwide.
