Commuter Benefits

Overview

The Commuter Benefits account helps you save on eligible expenses related to your commute by allowing you to set aside tax-free dollars through payroll deductions. You can use your account to pay for expenses related to parking, ridesharing and mass transit.

Commuter benefits are available if you live in New York; New Jersey; San Francisco, California; Washington, D.C.; or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Enroll any time

    You don’t have to wait for Open Enrollment to elect commuter benefits.

  2. 2

    Decide how much to contribute

    You can contribute up to $325 per month before taxes to your commuter parking account and up to $325 per month to your commuter transit account. If you have both transit and parking accounts, you can contribute the combined maximum.

  3. 3

    Make changes when you need to

    You can make changes any time. You can also cancel any time before the monthly cutoff (which varies based on your location and method of transit).

  4. 4

    Balances roll over

    Your account balance rolls over from year to year. But keep in mind, if you stop working for AEO, you forfeit any unused money left in your account.

Eligible Expenses

You have different options to pay for expenses:

  • Pay with your commuter benefits debit card
  • Pay the provider directly and request reimbursement
  • Have monthly transit passes or tickets sent to your home
