Transit riders in New York City received help from the federal government in the form of tax savings on their daily commutes.

As part of President Obama’s Economic Stimulus Bill recently signed into law, the monthly cap for the transit/vanpool portion of the transportation fringe benefit increased from $120 to $230 effective immediately.

Employees are now able to take a larger pre-tax deduction from their paychecks to pay for their commuting costs. Total savings can exceed $1000 per year for many New york Citycommuters; regardless of whether they use MTA, Metro North Railroad, Long Island Railroad, NY Waterway, NJ Transit, Path, private bus services or vanpools.

Employers can save $200 per employee per year. Ordering is simple, just login to www.commutercheck.com/order and place your orders for Commuter Check products including vouchers and debit cards for transit and parking, along with fare media (tickets, tokens, smart cards) and the new Commuter Check for Bicycling.
