Pre-Tax Quick Course

A workshop sponsored by King County Metro Transit as a service to employers.

In a business environment where offering wage increases can be difficult, offering a "Pre-Tax" Commuter Benefit is a great way to give your employees a raise.

And, for many companies, it won't cost a dime in out-of-pocket expenses.

Find out the basics of setting up a Pre-Tax Commuter Benefit at your company. It's easier and requires less paperwork than the Section 125 Flexible Spending Accounts, so administrative time is minimal.

  • Local employers who have implemented their own successful Pre-tax Commuter Benefit

A Pre-Tax Commuter Benefit can save employees 20-40 percent of the cost of their bus, train, ferry or vanpool passes. That can be like receiving an instant raise of several hundred dollars a year.

This is an IRS allowance that only you, the employer, can offer.
