Expands access to commuter transit benefits offered by employers in Massachusetts.

This bill mandates that employers in Massachusetts with at least 50 employees offer pre-tax transportation fringe benefits to their workers. These benefits must comply with federal tax code provisions and include commuter highway vehicle and transit benefits. Employers found in violation face fines, with a maximum of $250 for subsequent violations within a month. The Department of Revenue will run a multilingual awareness campaign to inform the public and employers about these benefits.
