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

The bill mandates that employers with 50 or more employees offer pre-tax transportation fringe benefits to non-unionized employees. The Department of Revenue will provide model multilingual materials for employers to inform employees about these benefits. Employers failing to comply face fines of $100 for the first violation and $250 for each subsequent month of non-compliance. The bill also directs a multilingual awareness campaign to encourage public engagement with employers about these benefits.
