While PalmTran does not currently have an employer bus pass program, this is an aspirational goal for the future.

BCT's Ride-and-Save provides the following commuter benefit options to assist with transit expenses:

• Option #1 - Employer Paid Benefit: Employers can pay for their employees to commute on BCT by purchasing a 31-Day bus pass. Employers get a tax deduction for the expense.
• Option #2 - Employee Paid Benefit: Employees pay for a BCT-31 Day bus pass with their existing gross income when their employer provides a pre-tax deduction program for their transit costs.
• Option #3 - Fare Share Benefit: Employers can provide a portion of the cost of a BCT 31-Day bus pass. The employee also pays a portion using pre-tax income when the employer offers a pre-tax deduction program.

Employers who are participating in BCT's Ride-and-Save have found the program to be beneficial, not only to attract new employees, but also to retain them, develop a stronger workforce, and assist those employees with transportation challenges.
