Once you have established an account, you can place monthly orders and use your pre-tax dollars to purchase transit, vanpool, or parking. One way to do this is to have your funds loaded onto a Commuter Check Prepaid Mastercard® which you can use to purchase eligible commuting expenses. The Commuter Check Prepaid Mastercard® will be mailed to you and will be re-loaded each time you place an order. You can also use your pre-tax dollars to order transit passes or Caltrain parking permits, in addition to other options, including loading your Clipper card. Keep track of your account balances online to make sure your pre-tax deductions do not exceed your expenses. Adjust your orders, as necessary, so you do not accumulate excess funds. Federal tax code specifies that pre-tax deductions are non-refundable. Contact Edenred for additional assistance.
