Corporate Discount Program

There are three ways to save with pre-tax dollars:

• Employee pays for the entire cost of the monthly pass with pre-tax, set-aside dollars from their salary
  • There’s no income tax on these set-aside dollars, so it’s a tax-free transit benefit
  • The set-aside dollar amount is also reflected as a reduction of taxable salary, so employees pay less income tax
    
    
• Employer pays for the entire cost of the monthly pass through a tax-deductible subsidy
  • The employer receives an equivalent federal income tax deduction
  • Employees don’t have to report this option as taxable income because it’s considered a fringe benefit
    
    
• Employer and employee share the cost of the monthly pass, both paying for it with pre-tax dollars
  • It’s a win-win situation

Other tax benefits: Participants who take Metrorail can save even more by also purchasing their $11.25 monthly Metrorail parking permit with pre-tax dollars.

The regular price of a 1-month pass on an EASY Card is $112.50 per month.
