Due to changes in federal tax laws for commuter benefits, employers can make it cheaper and easier for employees to commute to work. Many organizations remain unaware of benefits that can save money and enhance the attractiveness of the workplace environment. Transportation programs help retain employees, reduce commuting stress, and add to employee benefits packages at little or no cost using pre-tax savings. Widespread adoption of commuter benefit programs would increase transit, carpool and vanpool ridership and decrease air pollution and traffic congestion in the Kansas City region.
Consider appointing an Employee Transportation Coordinator that can answer questions employees may have about your company's transportation program.
