Pre-tax commuter benefits

Save money on public transit by using Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits. The County has contracted with a new plan administrator, P&A Group, and as a result, service fees will be lower. You can now elect up to $217.50 per month for transit expenses or up to $300.00 per month for parking expenses. Deducting the cost of public transit or other qualified expenses before taxes are taken out of your paycheck saves an average of 25% per month! Want to learn more about how these programs work and how to enroll in these benefits? Overview and enrollment instructions.

Emergency ride home

Employees may obtain a voucher for a free taxi ride home should an illness, personal emergency or unplanned overtime event (approved by a supervisor) arise and the employee needs transportation home. During normal business hours, contact your Departmental Employee Service Center to obtain a voucher. After normal business hours, you may obtain a voucher by contacting the VMC Hospital Supervisor, at [email protected].
