Transportation Benefits increase in 2013 for employers

Transportation Fringe Benefit to increase to $240/month for 2013

On January 1, 2013, legislation was passed averting the so-called ‘fiscal cliff’ (HR 8). Included was a provision that will once again re-establish parity between the parking and transit benefits at $240/month. This increase is effective immediately and is set to expire at the end of 2013.

Please inform your employees of the change and make any necessary adjustments. With the rise in transit fares last year, it is more important than ever to take advantage of the maximum allowed transportation benefit.

If you have any questions, please contact goDCgo at (202) 299-2186 or info@godcgo.com . If you do not currently offer a transit benefit to employees and would like more information on the subject, please contact Diane Kean at dkean@godcgo.com . You can also learn more about the benefit and all goDCgo Employer Services has to offer by visiting the website, www.goDCgo.com/employer .
