The Commuter Savings Program (CSP) is an optional benefit that gives eligible employees the opportunity to use tax-free dollars to pay out-of-pocket, work-related commuting and/or parking expenses. This benefit allows employees to lower their taxable income and increase disposable income. There is no specific enrollment period; State employees may enroll, cancel or change deductions at any time.

Full-time and part-time employees (working 50% or greater) who have payroll checks processed through the Office of the Comptroller may enroll in CSP at any time. Deductions are made before federal, state and social security taxes are withheld.

Eligible employees may elect a monthly pre-tax deduction up to:

• $230 for bus or train transit passes or vanpooling expenses incurred for work-related commuting costs. The transit media selected is conveniently mailed directly to the participants home before the beginning of the month.
• $230 for work-related parking expenses. The parking provider may be paid directly, or the participant may be reimbursed by submitting a claim form and proof of services to the CSP Plan Administrator.

Benefits for selections made by the 10^th of any month will be effective the following month. Payroll deductions will coincide with the first pay period of the benefit month. For example, a selection made on or before February 10^th would begin in March; therefore, the first payroll deduction would be taken from the March 1^st 15^th pay period for a semi-monthly employee.
