Got questions? We’ve got answers!
Traditional commuter benefits are pre-tax employer-provided benefits that help employees access transportation for commuting and getting around their city. In practice, commuter benefits may also refer to other services or benefits offered by an employer that make getting to work easier (think bikeshare memberships or commute planning services).
For more information about eligible expenses, cost savings, and FAQs, see our comprehensive guides to pre-tax commuter benefits and post-tax commuter benefits.
As of 2026, the following major metropolitan areas have implemented a commuter benefits mandate for employers: Chicago, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington DC. For a complete list, see our guide to commuter benefit mandates by city.
Pre-tax commuter benefits let employees set aside money from their paycheck (up to the $340/month cap set by the IRS) to pay for eligible transit, vanpool, and commuter parking expenses. Because the money is set aside before federal taxes are applied, they’re taxed on a smaller portion of their income and can take home more of the money they earn. Savings depend on where the employee lives and how much they earn, but many people save up to 30-40% on their commute.
For every $100 employees elect towards pre-tax contributions, their employer saves $7.65 in FICA payroll tax obligations. If 100 employees contribute $150 per month, that’s $180,000 in annual contributions and $13,770 saved per year in payroll tax savings.
Our employers span across industries, from healthcare to software, quick service restaurants to consultants. We work with small businesses up through large enterprises. If your company wants to expand perks to attract or retain employees, has a focus on sustainability, or is grappling with return to office, we’d love to talk!
We recommend starting with Jawnt two months before you want your employees to start using their benefits, but we can move as quickly as two weeks.
Jawnt’s pricing is based on the number of employees, number of benefits offered, and level of support & enterprise features provided.
