TransitChek®

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.

TransitCheks are vouchers that can be redeemed to purchase passes, tickets and tokens for every transit agency in the region—SEPTA, PATCO, NJ TRANSIT, DART First State, Capital Area Transit and Amtrak (monthly commuter tickets only). Even some vanpool services accept TransitChek.
