NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- NY commuter benefits administrator, Clarity Benefit Solutions, provides five ways to increase enrollment in commuter benefit plans.

Commuter benefit plans were originally established to encourage employees to use public transportation by allowing them to use pre-tax dollars to pay for these, and a variety of other, commuting expenses. There are several ways to do this: a pre-tax, employee-paid payroll deduction, a tax-free, employer-paid subsidy, or by combining both methods. Here are four ways to increase enrollment in commuter benefit plans:

•      Promote the tax savings/monetary advantages of commuter benefit programs. Since employees use pre-tax dollars to pay for their commuting expenses, they can realize significant savings on these expenses—up to 40 percent in some cases. Typically, commuter expenses include public transit to or from work, carpools or vanpools, and parking near the office or a nearby train station.
•      Highlight the potential that commuter benefit plans have to preserve the environment. Commuter benefit plans are a huge benefit to the environment. Employees who opt to either use public transportation, carpool/vanpool, or bike to work are reducing the number of cars that are on the road—and the carbon footprint!
•      Stress that commuter benefit plans help companies stay compliant. Employees who register in a commuter benefit plan are helping their employer comply with local ordinances. Metro cities across the country are passing local ordinances that mandate businesses with a certain number of employees and offer pre-tax commuter benefits.
•      Make the commuter benefit plan enrollment process seamless. Be sure to provide employees with a user-friendly web portal so they can register with ease. And, once your company starts saving money, set aside some of that money to make office improvements or enhance employee benefits.
