Cut the cost of your fare 20 - 40% just by signing up for our new “pre-tax commuter benefit.” (The name sounds complicated; the concept isn’t.)

Here’s how it works: When you buy a bus pass or ticketbook on your own, you are using dollars that have already been taxed. With the pre-tax commuter benefit, you can buy your pass or ticketbook through a payroll deduction before taxes are applied to your earnings.

You could save hundreds of dollars every year—and get the convenience of receiving your transit pass right at work!

Even if the bus doesn’t come to your neighborhood, you have other good options for using public transit. For example, drive to a nearby park and ride where you can park your car free all day—or check out convenient vanpool service.

For bus route and schedule information, visit Metro’s Trip Planner at http://tripplanner.metrokc.gov/ or call Rider Information at 206-553-3000.

Thank you for taking the time to think a little greener today!
