Savings & Benefits for EMPLOYEES

FareShare for Employees

The FareShare Program encourages the use of transit and vanpooling by employees working in Montgomery County by matching employer contributions.

Employees benefit from FareShare:

• Save money on commuting by receiving transit subsidies up to $300 to help pay your commuting costs tax free beginning January 1, 2023
• Montgomery County will reimburse your employer up to the maximum of $300 less the employer contribution for using the FareShare Program
• Help reduce traffic congestion and pollution

Employees Don’t Have to Live in Montgomery County to Participate

You can live anywhere and still be eligible for cost savings for transit trips, benefits for bikers and walkers, telework options, and tax incentives – as long as your employer is in Montgomery County.
