Qualified Transportation Accounts
You may elect to pay for your mass transit expenses (e.g. Metro, Marc, VRE) and parking on a pretax basis, up to IRS limits. The 2016 limits are $255/month for transit passes and $255/month for qualified parking expenses. Your elections may be revoked or changed throughout the year.
The amount you elect each month will be loaded on a Benny Debit card. Use the Benny card as you would your own personal credit card to pay for your monthly commuter expenses. If you enroll in a Medical Care FSA, the same Benny card will be loaded with both your FSA and your Qualified Transportation Benefits.
