Commuter Choice Program
Use Pre-Tax Dollars to Pay for Work-Related Transportation and Parking Expenses
The Ohio Department of Administrative Services is pleased to announce that state employees can pay for their parking and some transit expenses using pre-tax dollars. Employees who pay to park their vehicle, while at work, can participate in the Commuter Choice Program, along with employees who commute using public transportation or van pools.
Commuter Choice allows state employees to save money by paying for eligible transportation expenses, such as parking and transit passes, using pre-tax dollars.
