Pre-tax parking and commuter passes

Northeastern offers additional tax savings to faculty and staff who commute to work by public transportation or use Northeastern's parking facilities. Under the university's pre-tax transit pass program, employees may purchase transit passes through payroll deduction with a pre-tax benefit of up to $125 per month. This allows many employees to cover all or most commuter costs using pre-tax dollars. It is important to remember that if transit passes are not purchased through payroll deduction, the cost will not be on a pre-tax basis. To enroll, please send a completed MBTA Pre-Tax Transit Form (PDF) to Human Resources Management.

Employees may also choose to use Northeastern's on-campus parking facilities. Parking permit payments are made through payroll deduction using pre-tax dollars and may be purchased quarterly or annually.
