commuter benefit

The Commuter Benefit lets you pay tax-free for public transit including train, subway, bus, ferry, and eligible vanpool, as well as qualified parking as part of your daily commute to work. The Commuter Benefit is a great way to put extra money in your pocket each month and make your commute more convenient and affordable.

Decide how much to contribute, up to the 2026 limit of $340 per month for transit and eligible vanpools and another $340 per month for qualified parking.
Funds are deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, making your taxable income lower and saving you money.
You can pause or cancel contributions to your account at any time. There is no “use it or lose it” rule as long as you are an active employee enrolled in the plan.
Manage your account via HealthEquity’s secure website on any computer or mobile device that’s connected to the internet.
Check out the Commuter Savings Calculator to see how much you can save!
Commuter orders must be placed by the 10^th of the month prior to the benefit month.
- As an example, if an associate wants to contribute to the parking benefit for January, they must submit their order by December 10^th.

Denver office parking subsidy

The IMA Denver office provides a $150/month subsidy for each associate that will be in the office on average three days per week. In addition, IMA provides an option to contribute to an IRS Qualified Pre-tax Parking Plan (QPPP) for any associate with work-related parking expenses that exceeds the $150/month subsidy. Parking can be at or near the IMA office or at a location from which the employee commutes to work by mass transit, van-pooling or other means. If you work in the IMA Denver office at least three days per week and would like to sign up for the monthly parking subsidy, contact the Denver Operations Team and complete the Denver pre-tax parking deduction form and return to HRBenefits@imacorp.com.

Denver associates that are classified remote or have been granted the exception to work remotely more than three days a week are not eligible for the $150/month parking stipend. Instead, through the IMA partnership with HealthEquity, remote associates will have access to enroll in a tax-advantaged commuter Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to cover parking expenses when they are working in-office.

All Denver associates are eligible for a free Denver EcoPass. To receive a Denver EcoPass, contact the Denver Operations Team.

Eligibility Reminder for Denver Associates:
If you are currently enrolled in the Denver parking subsidy program, you are not eligible to participate in the Commuter benefit. Please refrain from enrolling in the commuter benefit if you receive parking support through the Denver program.
