Commuter Benefits Law

New York City’s Commuter Benefits Law went into effect on January 1, 2016. Under the law, most New York City companies with 20 or more full-time employees must provide pre-tax transit benefits.

The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) enforces the City's Commuter Benefits Law. You can get more information and assistance from DCWP.
