Dear Via-istas,
Happy New Year! 2015 was our best year yet and we’re kicking off 2016 with amazing news for commuters.
Last month, Congress voted to increase the monthly deduction limit for pre-tax commuter benefits to $255 from $130. Way to go, lawmakers!
This means you can now put aside even more income tax-free dollars to use on Via. Depending on your federal and state tax brackets, you could save over $100 a month in taxes by taking advantage of this benefit.
You can pay for Via with all major commuter benefits debit cards (see here for a full list as well as any restrictions).
Be sure to check with your company’s employment benefits representative to find out how you can increase your monthly deduction limit.
In love and awesomely affordable transit,
Team Via NYC
