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 (maybe put the email address here?) to ensure the smoothest possible transition of your commuter account.

Commuter Benefit Plans and Forms

  • Commuter Card (Unrestricted) Plan – The Commuter Card is a stored value card loaded with your pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions that can be used to purchase transit passes and tickets at transit providers throughout the New York Tri-State area. This card works just like a debit card at transit provider ticket vending machines, ticket windows and online/web stores. It can also be used to apply for MTA programs such as the Reduced-Fare MetroCard and EasyPayXpress. Your card is funded with your payroll deductions each pay date. Commuter Card – Unrestricted participants pay a post-tax administrative fee of $1.25 per month through payroll deductions.
  • Transit Pass Plan – This plan allows you to arrange for home delivery of your transit provider passes and tickets through Edenred.  You can select from their extensive catalog of transit providers and transit passes covering the New York Tri-State area.  In this plan, you fund an Edenred account with your pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions, and you can select a pass on the Edenred system using the funds in your account. Edenred will deliver your pass or ticket to your designated mailing address by the 1st day of each calendar month. Edenred also allows you to securely supplement purchases on their website with your personal credit card to ensure you always have enough funds for your purchases.  And you can purchase multiple items such as a train tickets and MetroCard. Transit Pass participants pay a post-tax administrative fee of $2.05 per month through payroll deductions.

 

  • Access-A-Ride/Paratransit Plan – This plan allows you to participate in Access-A-Ride if you are an employee who receives paratransit service from MTA New York City Transit. In this plan, you fund an Edenred account with your pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions and you can select your Access-A-Ride coupons or other paratransit options via the Edenred system using the funds in your account. Edenred will deliver your Access-A-Ride coupons or tickets to your designated mailing address by the 1st day of each calendar month. Access-A-Ride Plan participants pay a post-tax administrative fee of $2.05 per month through payroll deductions.
  • Park-n-Ride Plan – This plan allows you to use your pre-tax and post-tax payroll deductions to pay for parking at or near a public transportation stop or station that you use to commute to work.  Only transit-related parking is eligible. 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.
