New bill would require Philly employers to offer transit benefits to workers

National links: New bill would require Philly employers to offer transit benefits to workers

Some Philadelphia workers could get transit benefits from employers next year. More studies should focus on a city’s smells and sounds. Dark stores could be dangerous for urban areas.

Philly’s new commuter benefits: In a move to improve Philly area transit ridership, a new bill would require employers to provide commuter benefits to workers traveling to the central city. The legislation would be for companies with 50 employees or more and could include either employer-purchased passes or a pre-tax payroll deduction. If signed by the mayor, it would go into effect at the end of the year. (Maggie Mancini | Philly Voice)
