Common questions.
Are Employees spending their own money?
Employees spend your company's funds through your Qualified Plan, up to the plan limit per month, on eligible parking and transit expenses.
Spending cards have built in limits so employees can't spend more or on anything else.
Your business gets a small tax savings to cover the costs of offering qualified transit and parking plans. We take this savings as our only fee.
You're always compliant and never out-of-pocket.
What makes us different?
We are built for hospitality workers and the busy HR teams managing them across multiple location and pay groups. We know you don't have time to corral all your employees across thier shifts and locations.
Employees enroll digitally and get a card to spend on, for free. We automated managing the program from enrollment to substantiating expenses and processing claims.
What about a traditional plan provider?
Legacy providers focus on office workers who are sitting in front of screens and can gather in conference rooms to learn more.
Legacy providers also make you responsible for enrollment and employees' questions.
Your employees are tipped-wage workers, shift-workers, part-time workers, and workers living paycheck-to-paycheck who are in front of your customers, not in front of screens.
Where are these plans required?
Cities and states across the country are mandating qualified parking and transit plans.
Inflation is causing the cost to ride transit and pay to park to rise. The cost of downtown parking is rising all over America.
Local transit systems have lost office worker riders and these plans encourage location-based, non-virtual workers to ride to work and make up for those shortfalls.
Washington DC, San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Chicago all have mandates.
Several more states are considering passing a mandate in their upcoming legislative sessions.
Safety comes standard.
