Using mass transit options like subways, trains, or buses – even vanpooling - makes sense for our world. And it also makes cents (and pre-tax dollars) for employees because the government encourages commuting choices that conserve energy and reduce traffic by offering important tax benefits. Employees can use pre-tax dollars to pay for their public transit expenses.
To make things easy and efficient for employees, CommuteEase offers several options for taking full advantage of these tax-free benefits.

Employees can also directly order transit passes, tickets, and smart cards offered by participating transit authorities across the nation. We are networked with countless transit providers and employees will likely be able to find and select the perfect option for their commute. The purchased products are sent directly to employees for convenience.
This option operates like a gift certificate and is the most flexible way to pay for transit expenses. Commuter checks can be used to purchase transit passes, tickets, cards, or other fare media for the transit authority of choice. They can also be used to pay for vanpool expenses. Commuter checks come in flexible denominations to meet employees’ diverse transit needs and are valid for 15 months – a great option for frequent or infrequent riders.

This is a re-loadable commuter benefit card that is accepted at transit agencies or designated transit retail centers where only transit and vanpool passes, tickets, and fare cards are sold. The commuter check card can be also used at fare vending machines, which saves time waiting in line and hassle locating a customer service desk or staffed sales area.
