ACT wants to bring you up to date on efforts to maintain parity for the transit benefit. The transit portion of the Commuter Benefit is set to be reduced nearly in half at the end of 2011, if action is not taken. This will effectively create a tax increase for the over 2.7 million public transit and vanpool commuters that currently use this benefit. ACT is working with its partners and stakeholder to make sure that the $230/month is made permanent or extended.
