Qualified Transportation Expense (QTE) Savings Account (also known as Commuter Benefit Plan)

Benefit Resource (BRi) commuter benefits are convenient, flexible and another way to lower taxable income. A commuter benefit plan allows you to:

  • Set aside pre-tax dollars each month, up to the IRS limits, to pay for eligible mass transit and parking expenses.
  • Change elections. Election changes can generally be updated monthly at benetrac.com.
  • Carry over unused funds month to month during the plan year. If your needs change or you have built up a balance, you can adjust or even stop your elections while you continue to use your existing balance. Receipts submitted cannot be more than 6 months old.

There are two primary work-related commuter benefit accounts:

Mass Transit Account

Set aside pre-tax dollars, per month, to pay for transportation costs for travel to and from work:
  • Mass Transit Vehicles: bus, train, ferry and subway
  • Vanpooling (a commuter vehicle that seats at least 6 not including the driver)

Parking Account

Set aside pre-tax dollars, per month, to pay for work-related parking expenses:
  • Parking expenses at your place of employment
  • Parking expenses at a location from which you commute to work (e.g. mass transit or carpool lot)
  • Vendor parking, including lots and garages
NOTE: Not available when employees park at or near their residence or at a temporary work location.
