The average American driver may spend more than 450 hours each year - equal to nearly 11 weeks of work - behind the wheel.

The result: A mounting level of frustration, stress, anger and hostility that causes illness, reduces productivity in the workplace, and degrades the quality of life at home.

In addition to improving the environment, encouraging your employees to use transit helps them -- and you in many ways:

  • Reducing stress
  • Reducing accidents
  • Saving money - on fuel, maintenance, insurance, parking and taxes!

Pre-tax commuter benefit programs can save you thousands of dollars in payroll taxes while helping your employees and the environment.
