Commuter Tax Benefit is Connecticut's program to promote federal tax law allowing employees to set aside pre-tax income to pay for transit and vanpool fares. As of January 2007, employees may set aside up to $110 a month ($1320 a year) of their salaries before taxes to pay for transit and vanpool fares. An employee may also set aside up to $215 a month ($2580 a year) to pay for qualified parking expenses.

Through payroll deduction, employees contribute to an account that saves 25% to 40% on the expense of parking near their place of employment, and travel to and from work. During the year, participants may access this account for transit and parking expenses. Payments from the account are tax-free to employees. Monthly expense limits for 2007 are $215 per month for parking and $110 per month for transit passes and commuter highway vehicles.

Any type of transit service, publicly or privately owned or operated, including bus, rail, subway, ferry, subscription bus, shuttle bus, and commuter highway vehicles under contract that provide to the public and/or employees, general or special service on a regular and continuing basis.

Federal law allows employees to set aside up to $105/month before taxes are applied to use for mass transit and vanpool commuting, and up to $200/month before taxes are applied for commuter parking. This can translate into big savings depending upon the amount you exclude from taxes and your tax bracket.

The Commuter Tax$ave program consists of two separate components. The program allows participants to elect up to $110 per month for mass transit expenses and up to $215 per month for commuter parking expenses. The minimum deduction amount is $15 for each plan.
