From the Regional Transportation Authority; please share with your communities:

Recent congressional action created parity between the Federal parking tax benefit and the transit tax benefit. The result was that a transit rider can now claim up to $255 per month free of Federal tax towards the purchase of transit service. This benefit obtained through an employer provides up to a 40% savings. The increase from $130 ( which only fully covered Metra Fare Zones A-C) to $255 means more than 30 additional stations ( in zones D-J) on the Metra Electric District and Rock Island Division in the South Suburbs are now fully covered.

Information on how to sign up is detailed here:
