Description
Employer transit subsidies, such as for transit passes, vanpools and bicycle commuting reimbursements, help incentivize employees to travel without driving alone. King County will advocate for all cities in the County to pass and implement commuter benefit ordinances, similar to the example set by the City of Seattle. The City of Seattle’s Commuter Benefit Ordinance requires that businesses with 20 or more employees offer employees a pre-tax option for a transit benefit. King County will work with local jurisdictions via the K4C to encourage the adoption of similar ordinances to reduce barriers to accessing transit benefits and enhance the provision of benefits to employees at smaller organizations.
