The Commuter Benefits program through HSA Bank allows you to save money on transportation to and from work while you are actively employed by the Company. Enroll in the program to set aside pre-tax funds with automatic payroll deductions and use that money to purchase transit expenses (subway, bus, or train tickets) and parking expenses (e.g. garage permits).
When you elect Commuter Benefits program, access your account through HSA Bank Resource Center or the HSA Bank mobile app.

Eligible forms of transportation for Commuter Benefits include:
Note: Mileage, tolls, fuel, carpooling, Uber/Lyft expenses, and business travel are not eligible expenses for the Commuter Benefits. You can make changes to your elections at any point throughout the year to meet your changing commuting needs. For more information or to sign up, see the Commuter Benefit information on the HSA Bank Resource Center.
You will pay for eligible parking and commuter costs with your HSA Bank debit card. You’ll receive an HSA Bank debit card after you enroll. Your debit card will be activated when you first use it; no additional action needed.
You’ll use this card for all HSA Bank accounts you enroll in, including a Health Savings Account, Health Care or Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Dependent Care FSA, and Commuter Benefits. HSA Bank will coordinate deducting expenses from the correct account.
If you don’t receive your debit card or to request additional cards for yourself or your dependents, call the Client Assistance Center at 1-833-506-3611. Representatives are available 24 hours per day, seven days per week. If your card is lost or stolen, call this number for a replacement.
NOTE: If you cannot use your debit card for parking costs, you can submit receipts for reimbursement on the HSA Bank Resource Center. You must use your commuter debit card to pay for commuter costs. You CANNOT pay for commuting expenses out of pocket and submit them for reimbursement, per IRS regulations.
You can change your election to $0 if your travel situation changes. Remember, this can be changed on a month-by-month basis.
