TransitCenter Is On Your Side

For more than 20 years, TransitCenter has been on the frontlines fighting for improving commuting in America – making commuting more affordable for employees and employers, and improving our environment.

• TransitCenter was created to develop innovative ways to encourage greater use of public transit in order to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. As part of our mission, we launched TransitChek in 1987, the first commuter benefits program in the nation – which has made commuting a more affordable option for hundreds of thousands of people.

• Since the launch of TransitChek, we've helped over 500,000 employees save more than $110 million in taxes, while employers have saved over $35 million in payroll taxes. And now, after 7 years of hard work to increase the cap for monthly tax-free commuter benefits savings, we are proud that we will help millions of more Americans to save through the Economic Stimulus Plan.

• Beyond our leadership and innovations, we continue to go the extra mile to encourage mass transit use by partnering with federal agencies, transportation organizations, and transit operators across the nation. Not only do we have in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations governing commuter benefits-we helped create them.

Our Mission: Improving the Quality of Life for All Commuters

TransitCenter is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting commuters nationwide. We encourage the use of mass transit because we want to live in a world with less traffic and better air quality. Not only will fewer cars on the road lead to improved mobility, it will help preserve precious natural resources.
