Guaranteed Ride Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like a safety net, TANK guarantees you a ride home when you have unplanned overtime or a family emergency during your normal workday. The only qualification is that you are a member of Metro\/TANK Preferred Customer Club at the time of the request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guaranteed ride home will be made for trips from work to home, hospital, day care facility, or school only, or to a park and ride location to get your car. This does not include trips to work if you miss your bus, for scheduled appointments during the workday, getting home when overtime is scheduled in advance, or when inclement weather forces delays in normal transit schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tax-free Transit Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A transit benefit plan offers an effective and efficient solution for both you and your employees\u2019 commuting needs. Section 132 of the Internal Revenue Code is an attractive benefit in that it lets your employees pay the cost of public transportation using pre-tax dollars, cutting their commuting costs up to 40% while saving your company the 6.20% FICA contribution, 1.45% Medicare contribution, and federal unemployment insurance taxes on every participants\u2019 payroll each month. It is a very flexible benefit, in that no annual commitments or \u201cuse it or lose it\u201d rules apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convenience and flexibility of the program takes full advantage of the monthly benefit, allowing employees easy online access to place orders or make changes to their order at any time. Additionally, no plan documents, discrimination testing, or regular filings are required by the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
