Commuter Benefits

NYC Health + Hospitals offers employees a voluntary transit program through Edenred Benefits to fund the purchase of various commuting options such as Subway rides, transit passes, parking, etc. Edenred offers a modern user experience, exceptional customer service, a contactless card, and micro-mobility commuting options. Under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 132, NYC Health + Hospitals can provide programs through which an employee can pay for work-related commuting and parking, with payroll deductions. This reduces the employee’s payroll tax withholdings, thereby saving the employee money.

Through pre-tax payroll deductions to Edenred, employees can choose to:

• Select a prepaid Mastercard allowing employees to purchase transit fares or pay for parking.
• Have parking and vanpools paid directly by Edenred from your available account funds.
• Get reimbursed for out-of-pocket parking expenses.

Check the Edenred website for yearly pretax limits.
