FARE SUBSIDIES
Section 1. Public Law 101-509 of the Treasury, Postal
Service and General Government Appropriations Act of 1991, provides for a
rules change to government policy in that the Employer can subsidize an
employee's cost of commuting to and from work.
Section 2. Fare subsidies shall be provided in conjunction with
programs established by state and/or local governments as provided for in DOT
Order 1750.1 and any subsequent changes to that order. The monthly benefit
shall not exceed the amount established in these orders or the local monthly
cost of public mass transportation, whichever is less.
Section 3. Employees using public mass transportation are eligible to
participate in fare subsidies. Only employees who are not named on a work-site
motor vehicle parking permit with DOT or any federal agency, and who commute
via public mass transportation, may participate in this program.
Section 4. Applications for subsidy under this Article will be approved
at the local level.
Section 5. Employees shall have the option of receiving any subsidies
due under this Article at their facility.
