Senate Bill 1339 would allow local employers with 50 or more employees to choose from a range of commute benefits — including public transit, vanpooling, bicycling and employer-provided shuttles — to offer to their workers, payable with pre-tax dollars. In addition to the financial benefits provided to businesses, SB 1339 is a cost-effective tool for the region to meet environmental and economic objectives including cutting household transportation costs, alleviating traffic congestion, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.
