About the Transit Benefit Fare Program for Employees

• Pre-tax payroll deductions for commuting
• Save up to $1,195 a year
• Fare options and flexibility

Did you know that your employer can help you save money on public transportation costs? The Transit Benefit Fare Program lets you make pre-tax payroll deductions to pay for transit. You decide how much you’d like withdrawn up to $245 a month. And at the end of the year, you’ll have hundreds of dollars in your pocket that you would have otherwise had to pay in taxes. The fare options include RTA FareChecks, CTA Chicago Card Plus, CTA Transit Cards and CTA Chicago Card Monthly Passes.
