Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program Compliance Reminder

Did you know it is mandatory for employers with 50 or more full-time employees in the Bay Area to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program?

Even if an employer offers commuter benefits, to be in compliance with the Bay Area Air District’s Regulation 14, Rule 1, they are required to enroll in the program and update their registration annually. Employers can choose from five commuter benefit options:

  1. Pre-tax transit benefits
  2. Employer-provided subsidy for transit or vanpooling
  3. Employer-provided transit (such as shuttles)
  4. Telework one or more days a week
  5.  A custom plan that includes other modes like bicycling or walking, possibly combined with promotions that encourage alternates to driving alone and more

Enrollment in the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program is easy and free by visiting 511.org. You can call 510-285-3182 or email the team at commuterbenefits@511.org to get more information or confirm if your organization is registered.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better resource than the Chamber, as I was establishing my medical practice in Lafayette. AJ, Holly, and Sara were so responsive to my questions and gave me many ideas on networking in the community. They host several events that foster community building. I honestly cannot imagine a more robust, active, and friendly chamber as this. I’m a member for life!”
– Cheruba Prabakar, Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery

We value and appreciate the incredible amount of work this organization produces for our community through many events and support for each business. The networking and education of information that’s spilled out weekly for the business community is impressive. They are a helping hand in so many ways for our business community and beyond. We couldn’t be part of this community without being part of the chamber. Lafayette Chamber is one of the best organizations we’ve worked with, so don’t think twice about it, join the Chamber!” – Rolla Ghaben, Batch & Brine

“The Chamber was instrumental in helping us open 14 years ago. The staff went out of their way to help us make connections and ensure we were successful. We would not be where we are today without the Chamber!”
