Public Transit
Using public transit means
less time fighting traffic and more time relaxing. During
the trip to work you can focus on other things such as the
newspaper, a good book or work notes. Commute time becomes
your personal time!
Buses run regularly during
the workweek. If your work site is located near a bus stop,
chances are that you could commute on the bus regularly.
Leaving your car at home saves you money and helps to
improve the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley.
Additionally, nearly all local buses have bicycle racks, so
you can combine your commute options and bicycle part way.
Interested in transit?
You can call any of the following transit providers for
information on fares, routes and schedules. Or ask for your
free copy of the Fresno County Transportation Guide,
available through local transit operators, Fresno-Yosemite
International Airport, Fresno Convention and Visitor's
Bureau, local city hall offices and Central Valley
Ridesharing. Or access most of the guide information on-line
at www.fresnocog.org.
Commuter Choice Tax-Free
Benefit
Commuter Choice refers to recent changes in the Internal
Revenue Code [26 USC 132 (f)] that permits employers to
offer employees a tax-free benefit to commute to work by
vanpool or public transit. There are several ways that
employees may receive the benefit. For complete details
about the Commuter Choice program see the Vanpooling section
of this Commuter Options packet, visit the Federal Transit
Administration's website at
http://www.fta.dot.gov and
select Commuter Choice for further guidance or call Valleyrides for written information on the program.
