Employee Savings
Sign Up for Payroll Deductions
Employees sign up for payroll deductions that are used to pay transit costs with pre-tax dollars and save, regardless of income bracket or choice of transit services. Employees can receive their benefits as a pre-tax payroll deduction from their paycheck.
No Federal Income or Payroll Taxes
Employees who set aside income on a pre-tax basis for a qualified transportation fringe benefit do not pay federal income or payroll taxes on the income set aside. For example, if you have a combined (local, state, federal) tax rate of 27.65% and spend $121 per month on the Rail Runner, you will save $33.46 each month or just over $401 a year*.
