Did you know it is mandatory for employers with 50 or more full-time employees in the Bay Area to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program? 

Even if an employer offers commuter benefits, to be in compliance with the Bay Area Air District’s Regulation 14, Rule 1, they are required to enroll in the program and update their registration annually. Employers can choose from five commuter benefit options:

Pre-tax transit benefits

Employer-provided subsidy for transit or vanpooling

Employer-provided transit (such as shuttles)

Telework one or more days a week

A custom plan that includes other modes like bicycling or walking, possibly combined with promotions that encourage alternates to driving alone and more

Enrollment in the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program is easy and free by visiting 511.org. Take advantage of the many resources to help you comply. We provide online resources to guide you through this quick process or feel free and you can speak to one of our team members for hands-on support.
