Introduction
The Commuter Parking Card benefit gives you a simple, streamlined way to use pre-tax dollars to pay for qualifying parking products on a monthly basis. If applicable, employer-subsidized dollars may also be used to pay for qualifying parking products.
Note
The Commuter Parking Card is only eligible for parking expenses. Tolls, bridges, and gas are not eligible expenses for this card.
Enrolling in the Commuter Parking Card Benefit
To enroll in the Commuter Parking Card benefit offered by your employer, log into your employer's commute website, then follow the instructions below.
1. Within your employer's commute website, navigate to the Benefit Elections tab in the left hand navigation menu.
2. The page will contain your Current Monthly Election Summary. This page will not list any active benefits until you have made a benefit election. Click the button to Enroll in Available Benefits.
3. On the Available Benefits page, you will see a list of all the commuter benefit options for which you are eligible. To see the details for the Commuter Parking Card benefit, click the row labeled Commuter Parking Card.
4. Read through the information about this monthly benefit, including the election date and payroll deduction date. Then decide whether and how much you would like to contribute from your paycheck as a pre-tax deduction. Anything you choose to contribute will be applied on top of any employer-provided subsidy. If you would like to elect this benefit, click Enroll.
5. Read through the information and enter the desired amount in the You Pay box. As a best practice, you should elect the maximum amount needed, up to the pre-tax limit, to cover your monthly parking costs. Take note of the listed parameters to ensure you're making elections that do not exceed the benefit guidelines.
6. Scroll down and select your preferred card option. Most transit products may be purchased using a virtual card. To determine whether to elect a virtual card or physical card, Find Your Transit Agency and read the recommended instructions for purchasing your transit passes.
Note
Your company's address will be listed as the Billing Address. Please take note of the zipcode, as this may need to be entered during your checkout process when making parking purchases.
Finally, click the links to read the Terms and Conditions of this election. Then check the boxes to agree and click Submit. You will be able to make edits to this election until the end of the election period.
You will be directed to the Elected Benefits page, which will contain a summary of your elected benefits. To make changes to this election at any point before the election period closes, click Edit. To cancel your election at any point before the end of the election period, click Cancel.
If you selected the virtual card option, it will be available on the Commuter Cards page once the election period is closed. If you chose the physical card option, you should receive your card 7-10 days after the close of the election period. For more information on Commuter Cards, see these articles.
