Transit Benefits Program

Executive Order 13150 dated April 21, 2000, established the Mass Transportation and Vanpool Transportation Fringe Benefit Program. Under the program, Federal employees may receive transit passes in amounts approximately equal to employee commuting costs, not to exceed the maximum level allowed by law. The transit subsidy program was fully implemented throughout DOI in October 2000. The program has benefited many employees and the environment by subsidizing employee public transportation commuting expenses and by reducing traffic congestion and pollution. The Department of Transportation (DOT) administers the program for DOI. An application form for enrollment, along with rules to participate in the program and commonly asked questions are provided below. Before an employee can collect his/her benefits they must complete the Transit Benefits Integrity Program course. A link to the course is also provided below. Periodically, employees will be required to perform a recertification to remain in the program. Program updates and new offerings such as the Bicycle Subsidy Program will be announced via Departmental LAN messages.
