Human Resources - Qualified Transportation Account Program

Qualified Transportation Account Program
The State of Connecticut recognizes that it has become increasingly difficult to pay for transit related expenses associated with commuting to and from work. It is for this reason the Office of the State Comptroller is making the Qualified Transportation Account Program available to state employees. This program offers a tax advantage in helping you pay for qualified commuter expenses.

Eligibility: Full-time state employees that commute to and from work using public transportation or incur parking expenses.

Advantages: This program lets you pay for the eligible transportation and parking expenses with pre-tax dollars.

Program Parameters: IRS (monthly) allowable limits set for 2009.

Full program details are available on the Office of the State Comptroller's website:
