Why make mass transit an employee benefit
Article Abstract:
The Internal Revenue Code contains a regulation which states that employers may provide employees with transportation fare not beyond $21 a month in the form of vouchers, tokens or tickets for mass transit systems. These commuter subsidies are cost negligible for firms and exempt from taxes for employees. This benefit is well-appreciated by employees since it covers their transportation expenses. The subsidy also promotes the company's image since it helps control pollution and conforms with Clean Air Act regulations.
