Program Overview

The Hertz Commuter Benefits Program is an IRS-approved benefit, administered through the Office of Compliant Administration (OCA), that allows employees to set aside money on a tax-free basis to pay for transportation and parking expenses incurred while getting to and from work.

  • You will receive your own OCA debit card that you can use to pay for eligible commuting expenses.
  • Vouchers can be used to pay for transit tickets, passes, or to pay parking vendors.
  • Any unused funds that remain in your account at the end of the year will be carried
    over into the next plan year, if you continue to participate in the plan.

How Commuter Accounts Work

  • A commuter account allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars for mass transit and parking expenses associated with your daily commute to work.
  • There are two types of commuter accounts: mass transit and parking. You have the option to enroll in one or both accounts.
  • You choose a monthly election amount, up to $300 for mass transit expenses and $300 for parking expenses. This money is placed in your account via payroll deduction and then used to pay for eligible commuting expenses.

What's Covered

Eligible Expenses

Ineligible Expenses

Commuter funds can cover costs for:

  • Bus, ferry, train, subway tickets
    and passes
  • Vanpool fees when there are six or
    more adult passengers
  • Parking expenses, including parking
    at or near your place of work or at the
    location from which you take mass
    transit to get to work

Certain expenses are not eligible, including:

  • Tolls
  • Taxis
  • Gas/fuel
  • Mileage

Tax Savings

  • If you take public transportation to work or pay for parking, you’ll want to take advantage of the savings these plans offer.
  • Money contributed to a commuter account is free from federal and state taxes and remains tax-free when it is spent on eligible expenses.
  • On average, participants enjoy a 30% tax savings on their annual contribution. This means you could be saving up to $1,000 per year on commuter expenses!

Save your receipts when you spend your commuter account dollars. You may need
itemized invoices to verify the eligibility of expenses.
