Focus on Benefits: Commuting Costs

When people think about employee benefits, they tend to think of medical and dental benefits, given their importance to associates and their families’ health and well-being. M&R offers extensive coverage in these areas for eligible employees. But M&R also offers eligible associates a range of other useful benefits, including to help with commuting costs.

There are two types of Commuter Benefit Accounts that associates can choose from: a transit account and a parking account. If you opt to enroll in either one, your contributions are exempt from federal income tax, Social Security taxes and, in most cases, state income tax This may result in substantial savings on the commuting services you use to get to and from work every day.

Please contact your manager for details.
