Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program a Win-Win for Employers and Employees
Under a new, regional commuter benefits ordinance, Bay Area employers with 50+ employees are required to offer their employees one or more commuter benefit programs, such as a pre-tax transit benefit, transit subsidy, ridesharing program, or other alternative means of getting to work.
