WageWorks partners with Uber to give commuters options

WageWorks and Uber Offer Your Employees a New Way to Commute

October 21, 2016

Your employees want cost-effective options for getting to work. You want a meaningful benefits package and probably would appreciate reduced payroll taxes. WageWorks and Uber have teamed up to give you and your employees what you want. Employees who have a WageWorks Commuter Transit Account can now use their pre-tax dollars to pay for uberPOOL rides on their daily commute.

This first-in-market partnership with Uber, the world’s leading rideshare company, gives your employees the option to use their WageWorks^®Commuter Prepaid MasterCard^®, their WageWorks^® Visa^® Prepaid Commuter Card or their TransitChek QuickPay Prepaid Visa^® Card to pay for uberPOOL rides on their way to and from work.

Using uberPOOL as a pre-tax commuting option is already available in New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, Miami, and the state of New Jersey.

With a WageWorks Commuter Transit Account, your employees can save up to 40% on the cost of commuting. Employees decide how much to contribute to their account via payroll deduction —up to the $255 monthly limit. It’s a great way for employees to save money each month and, with uberPOOL, make their commute more convenient. With every employee pre-tax payroll deduction, your company will also reduce its payroll taxes. It’s another great deal from WageWorks!
