Commuter Benefits Plan

The Bryn Mawr College Commuter Benefits Plan (the "Plan"), is a tax-free fringe benefit plan established under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) §132(f), as expanded by the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century. Active, regular, non-student full-time and part-time faculty and staff are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan allows eligible employees to set aside part of their salary on a tax-free basis to pay for certain work related commuter expenses. Only expenses for a qualified transit pass under IRC §132(f), which enable eligible employees to commute to or from work, are eligible for reimbursement under the Plan. The maximum monthly salary reduction allowed in 2026 is $340 per month.

You can enroll/make changes/stop enrollment anytime during the year, but changes should only be made once a month. 

Elections can be made directly through Workday. Select “Health Savings Account and/or Transit change” as your reason for the change. Additional Instructions can be found on the BMC Workday Page under Workday Essentials then Change Benefits for Life Event.

The deduction for the month will be taken from the pay or pays associated with the month on a pre-tax basis.  It is the responsibility of the person participating in the Bryn Mawr College Commuter Benefits Plan to monitor their election and to make sure that it reflects their commuting needs.
