Introducing $230 Cap Coalition Website

Please see below for an important notice from TransitChek:

“Dear Valued TransitChek Customer,

As I mentioned in our last $230 Cap update, TransitCenter along with a coalition of firms that support commuter benefits, and commuter advocates, have united in an effort to protect the cap. Without Congressional action, the current $230 per month pretax transit benefit will be reduced to $120 per month.

Today, I am pleased to announce the launch of a new website – http://www.commuterbenefitsworkforus.com - enabling you to show your support for maintaining the current $230 per month transit benefit cap. We’re asking you to add your name to the tens of thousands of others urging their Members of Congress to enact legislation that will maintain the transit benefit at its current level. Your support will help ensure that you and your employees continue to receive the maximum amount of savings commuter benefits currently offer.

Commuter benefits have joined health, retirement and disability at the top of the list of important voluntary benefits offered by companies. Since millions of Americans who participate in a commuter benefit program will be affected, Congress needs to act now.

Thank you for your support. We will continue to bring you updates on the status of the $230 Cap and what actions, if any, you need to take.”
