New Edenred Transit Benefit Forms and Transition Guide are now available:

Effective March 2020, The City University of New York is changing commuter benefits providers from WageWorks to Edenred Commuter Benefits Solutions. Edenred Commuter Benefits Solutions (your new commuter benefits provider) has already begun sending important communications to all existing WageWorks participants who currently have active transit-related payroll deductions. These communications include information about what to expect in the coming weeks, how to register for a new online account to monitor your transit-related activity, when to place transit pass orders (for Transit Pass and Park-N-Ride participants only) and the new prepaid MasterCards (for Commuter Card participants only).

Be sure to open, read and retain all communications from Edenred Commuter Benefits Solutions to ensure the smoothest possible transition of your commuter account.

Commuter Benefits – Temporary Deduction Suspension Option

  • Employees enrolled in the Commuter Benefits program who are temporarily working from home and don’t anticipate using the funds in their Commuter Account can opt to suspend their payroll deductions.  Commuter Benefits deductions can be suspended for a period of up to one year.
  • Employees can suspend their Commuter Benefits payroll deductions by completing the attached enrollment form and marking the “Suspend Deduction” option in the “Employee Action Box” at the top.
  • For employees enrolled in the Park-N-Ride plan, the parking plan must be suspended for the same period. Please note this will only suspend payroll deductions. To also suspend Transit Pass orders, employees must do so directly with Edenred at (833) 584-8109 or online at login.commuterbenefits.com.
  • All Commuter Benefit program participants can check their Commuter Account balance on the Edenred website.

  • Edenred Park-n-Ride Benefit Enrollment Form

You must be jointly enrolled in one of the above transit options in order to enroll in this option. As a Park-N-Ride enrollee, you elect how your monthly parking expenses will be paid via one of the three sub-plans available (1. “Direct Pay” -Edenred pays your parking merchant directly, 2. “Parking Cash Reimbursement” - you submit claims to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket parking payments, and 3. “Parking Card” which is a stored value card that works like a debit card only for parking merchant transactions). Park-N-Ride plan participants pay a post-tax administrative fee of $2.05 per month through payroll deductions in addition to the administration fee associated with the commuter plan (Commuter Card Unrestricted/Transit Pass) chosen.
