Pay for your employees to ride the bus, carpool, vanpool, or commuter train and you'll reap the savings.

Save tax dollars
You can pay up to $115 in employee commuter costs and get a tax deduction for the expense. It's less expensive than a salary increase and can be paid out as ride passes or vouchers. You can pay the full amount, split the bill with your employees or help them receive tax benefits by deducting their transit cost pre-tax.

If parking is an issue
Is the competition for office parking getting heated? When there aren't enough spaces to go around, Easy Ride can help. More employees commuting means more breathing room at the parking garage or on-site.

Rush-hour-free employees
You know that look — the face of an employee who's driven 90m.p.h. to get to work on time. Or who left an hour early and still got to the office late. Now imagine the face of an employee who coasted in on public transportation. It's a better way to start the day — for both of you.

Be a good corporate citizen
Financial benefits and gas savings aside, fewer cards on the road means better air quality for us all. It's hard to argue with that.

Take the bus, carpool, vanpool, or commuter train and ask your boss to foot the bill..

Cut your taxable income
By as much as $115 per month. Employers can pay up to that amount in commuter fees. And those are pre-tax dollars — just like medical, dental, 401(k) and other benefits.

Cut your expenses
What do you spend per month on gas? Imagine cutting that by over 70% and putting it in your pocket — for home improvement, retirement or a much-needed vacation. By commuting, you also save on insurance, oil changes, tires and other car maintenance.

Arrive at work relaxed
Ever noticed how it's more relaxing to ride than drive? Commute and you can kick back every day. Relax, read, or catch up with co-workers and new friends.

Many ways to ride

The Nashville MTA offers 38 routes throughout Metro and outlaying communities. You also can sign up for a carpool or van pool — an especially good option if you live close to several co-workers. There's also Music City Star, the state's first commuter rail service.
