Don’t Forget to Restart your Pretax Transit or Parking Order

Now that we’re preparing to return to campus, don’t forget to restart your pretax transit and parking orders through WageWorks/Health Equity! As a reminder, the pretax commuter program allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for transit passes (Metra, Pace, CTA, etc.) and off-campus parking. Individuals purchasing Mies Campus passes through ACAPS already pay on a pretax basis via payroll deductions and therefore should NOT use WageWorks for these passes.

A maximum of $270 pre-tax per month can be set aside for transit and/or parking and these elections may be changed at any time (you do not need to wait until Open Enrollment). Election changes must be made directly with WageWorks/Health Equity and are due by 10:59 p.m. CST by the 10th of each month to be effective for the following month (August orders are due by July 10).

WageWorks/Health Equity transit election dollars may be used for transportation via uberPOOL and Lyft Link, and parking election dollars may be used in conjunction with SpotHero.

For additional information on benefits offered through WageWorks/Health Equity, please see the HR Portal Commuter Benefits page. You can also email hr@iit.edu if you need assistance. For additional information on Mies Campus parking options, please visit ACAPS’ website at www.iit.edu/acaps.
