Employer Transportation and Parking Guide

Transportation and Parking

Make commuting more affordable

Save on payroll taxes and help your employees save money on work-related transportation expenses with a Transportation Reimbursement Account (TRA). Offered as part of your company's benefit package, this tax-advantaged account helps your employees reduce their taxable income by setting aside pre-tax dollars reserved for their commuting costs while reducing your organization's payroll tax liability. A true win-win.

What's a TRA?

A Further TRA allows your employees to set aside a portion of their salary, pre- tax, to pay for certain transit, parking, and vanpool commuting expenses. By paying for these expenses with pre-tax dollars, your employees decrease their taxable income, pay less taxes, and in-turn allow your business to save on payroll taxes.

Benefits of a Further TRA:

• Take advantage of one low monthly participant fee for both transit/vanpool and parking accounts
• Enjoy the ease and convenience of a single administrator
• Provide employees with one location to manage the TRA alongside their medical spending accounts

There are two plans with the TRA
