The tax break for commuters who ride public transit
If you take public transit to get to work, TransitChek can cut your costs and save you more than $400 a year!

TransitChek is a program employers offer to their employees. Most companies offer TransitChek through pre-tax payroll deduction. That means you can set aside up to $115 per month or $1380 a year to pay for your commute on public transit—before taxes are taken out! You won't pay federal income or FICA taxes on these dollars. To see what you'll save with TransitChek, use the commuter savings calculator.

One of the main reasons companies sign up for TransitChek is because commuters like you ask for the program. Let your employer know about TransitChek. When employers offer TransitChek, they get a tax break, too.
