The Commuter Parity Act of 2013 is scheduled to expire
within the next couple of weeks. The act is a transit tax break for over
700,000 New York Long Island Railroad commuters. (Newsday)
The Commuter Parity Act uses programs such as TransitChek
and WageWorks to allot as much as $245 each month to commuters. The act’s
deductible saves over $1,300 LIRR commuters a year. (Newsday)
Sen. Charles Schumer is working hard with public
transportation advocates to extend the act to at least the end of 2014. Schumer
tells Newsday NY commuters need every
tax break available.
Schumer states if a commuter is taking the LIRR from Garden
City to Penn Station, that commuter can earn up to a $242 deductible each month
on a ticket. Newsday reports, there
will be a challenge to extend the act because some lawmakers in certain states
who have less railroad commuters are hesitant.
