Who pays for a commuter benefits program?

Option 1
 

Pre-Tax

At the employee's request, the employer withholds part of the employee's paycheck to let them pay transportation costs with pre-tax dollars. This is called a "compensation reduction plan."

Option 2
 

Subsidy

The employer provides funds directly to employees in addition to salary. Employees don't count the designated transportation subsidy as taxable income-it's going straight to transit costs-so employers still don't pay payroll taxes on it.

Option 3
 

Combination

Within a Pre-tax and Subsidy combination, the employer contributes some of the cost, and the rest is paid with the employee's pre-tax withholding.
