Commuter Check Program: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission launched the Bay Area Commuter Check program in 1991 in partnership with the Commuter Check Services Corp. A 1994 survey of Bay Area employees receiving Commuter Checks found that about a third (31 percent) of the employees who receive Commuter Checks increased their use of transit. The survey also showed that a large majority (79 percent) of respondents noted improved opinions of their employer as a result of receiving Commuter Checks, a third (35 percent) noted reduced stress from not driving to work or driving less often, and a third (33 percent) said job satisfaction had improved. Improvements in on-time arrival and productivity were also noted. |

Commuter Check is a special voucher used to purchase Bay Area transit tickets or pay for qualified vanpool costs. Commuter Checks come in six denominations: $20, $25, $30, $35, $45 and $50. Federal laws (Internal Revenue Code 132(f)), provide significant tax savings to both employers and employees for using public transit and qualified vanpools through programs such as Commuter Check.
