Commuter Benefits Program
Do You Have 50 or More Full-time Employees?
In 2016, the Legislature adopted Senate Bill 1128 to allow the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD) Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program to become a permanent mandatory program.
The Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program requires all companies and agencies in the Air District’s jurisdiction with 50 or more full-time employees to offer commuter benefits to their staff. These benefits are designed to help reduce congestion and improve air quality across the nine counties of the Bay Area.
To comply with the program requirements, Napa County companies/agencies can:
- Register with V-Commute.
- Designate a Commuter Benefits Coordinator.
- Select a pre-approved commuter benefits option or propose an alternative.
- Notify employees of the commuter benefit option selected and how to use the benefit.
- Maintain records to document compliance.
- Complete an annual registration update.
