Program Summary:

Federal employees may be eligible for transit benefits. Former President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 13150 on April 21, 2000 entitled "Federal Workforce Transportation." This Executive Order states that all Federal agencies shall implement a program that offers qualified Federal employees the option to receive a monthly subsidy for qualifying mass transportation. Employees must be pre-approved and enrolled to receive this subsidy.

Yosemite National Park will purchase the fare media on behalf of the employee and then distribute this fare media directly to the participating employees.

Private Employers:

The "Commuter Choice" Program was established by the Federal Government to encourage commuting alternatives that take commuters beyond one person/one car.

Employees may be eligible for benefits under this program. The only way to know is to talk to your employer to see if they are operating such a program.
