Commuter Reimbursement Account (CRA)
Save on work-related transit and parking costs
Overview & Eligibility
2025 Contribution Limit:
Parking – $325 per month
Transit – $325 per month
This is the maximum amount that can be contributed to an CRA each month per the IRS.
The Value for Employees
Employees can save up to 40% on qualifying expenses such as transit passes, commuter highway vehicles, and parking expenses.
Every dollar an employee contributes to a CRA lowers their taxable income. For example, if an employee earns $40,000 a year and contributes $270 per month to a CRA, their taxable income is lowered to $36,760.
Employees will receive an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard® linked to their CRA. Employees can use their card for eligible purchases everywhere Mastercard® is accepted. Account information can be securely accessed 24/7 online and through the mobile app.
The Value for Employers
Since contributions to CRAs are taken out pre-tax, no payroll taxes are due on the amounts employees contribute to the CRA.
Helping employees save money on their everyday commuting costs can aid in employee retention and recruitment.
