FSA TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE
The transportation reimbursement plan allows you to claim pre-tax qualified transportation expenses that are necessary for you to get to work . Transportation accounts are separate and have much more lenient requirements than FSA . You can make changes to your pre-tax elections monthly and any remaining balance can be rolled over to the next year .
There are three allowable qualified transportation expenses :
� Qualified parking : Includes parking provided to you at or near your workplace .
� Transit passes : Include any pass , token , fare card , voucher , or similar item that entitles you to transportation on mass transit facilities .
� Vanpooling : Requires a highway vehicle with a seating capacity of six or more adults where at least 80 % of the mileage use for a year can be reasonably expected to be for the purpose of transporting employees between their place of residence and their place of employment . In addition , the number of employees carried must be at least half of the seating capacity of the vehicle .
MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS
You can contribute up to $ 3,780 annually ( or $ 315 per month ) for qualified parking , transit passes or vanpooling .
To participate in the healthcare , dependent care and / or transportation assistance plans , you will need to contact your Human Resources department .
