Support Restoring Tax Deductibility for Commuter Transportation Benefits
Download a Template Letter to Get Involved
In January 2025, Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA-4) and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY-17) joined together to introduce the Supporting Transit Commutes Act.
The legislation works to restore tax deductibility for employers to provide Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits. The bill provides a significant financial incentive for employers to offer transportation benefits to employees by ensuring at least some portion of the cost of the benefits is eligible to be claimed as a tax credit. This bill partially restores the tax credit that was eliminated in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
ACT has worked with Rep. Auchincloss on this legislation and its previous iteration in the 118th Congress. If you’d like to advocate for your member of Congress to co-sponsor the bill, please use our script below.
