Increase in Qualified Transportation Benefit

Written by: Allison Grace

Article Overview: Read this summary if you currently provide or are considering providing transportation benefits to your employees.

Increase in Qualified Transportation Benefit

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides a temporary increase in the amount that can be provided to employees tax free in the form of transit passes and/or vanpooling benefits beginning in March 2009 and continuing through December 2010. For this period, the monthly limit for transit passes and vanpooling benefits (combined) is equal to the monthly limit that applies to qualified parking expenses, thus increasing the monthly limit from $120 to $230.

If you provide transit pass and/or vanpooling benefits to your employees, check your plan’s provisions to see what actions you can take to increase the benefit to employees. Some plans may require that you amend the plan, or may automatically apply the increase in limits, so if you’re interested in increasing the benefit to your employees, review your plan design.

Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
