If you work in the Delaware Valley (including South New Jersey and Northern Delaware) or the Harrisburg region and you're interested in saving money on your trip to work, then you've come to the right place.

TransitChek is a commuter benefit program that employers can offer to their employees to help pay for commuting on transit. It saves employers and commuters money because the program takes advantage of federal legislation that allows TAX-FREE dollars to pay for transit fares.

Commuting costs paid for through TransitChek are not subject to federal income and FICA taxes, and there's no use-it-or-lose-it penalty or plans to prepare. Employees can receive up to $230 a month or $1440 a year in TransitChek benefits. Employers can save on FICA taxes and program costs are tax-deductible.

TransitCheks are vouchers that can be redeemed to purchase passes, tickets and tokens for every transit agency in the region

* SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority)
* PATCO
* NJ Transit
* DART First State
* CAT (Capital Area Transit)
* COLT (County of Lebanon Transit)
* Red Rose Transit Authority (Serving Lancaster County)
* Rabbittransit (York County Transportation Authority)
*  Amtrak (monthly commuter tickets only).

Even the vanpool service VPSI accepts TransitCheks. For PATCO riders, TransitChek benefits are also available for electronic upload to FREEDOM cards.
