Transit Check
TransitChek vouchers can be used to purchase fares on all regional public transit including: SEPTA, PATCO, NJ Transit, DART and Amtrak. TransitCheks can be delivered to your company, or for home delivery, opt for TransitChek Select. The TransitChek program helps employers reduce the cost of their employee’s commute in three flexible ways:
- Employers can give employees TransitCheks in addition to salary, as part of their benefits package.
- Employers can allow employees to purchase TransitCheks through a pre-tax payroll deduction. Employees can set aside up to $230 a month from federal income tax and FICA taxes, saving them hundreds of dollars over the course of the year. And, employers can save up to $200 on the matching FICA taxes.
- Employers can give a portion of TransitChek as a benefit, and allow employee to take a pre-tax payroll deduction for the remaining amount. It’s the best of both worlds.
