Commuters working in Montgomery County can get reimbursed up to $315 a month in 2024 for using public transit, or vanpooling, by asking their employers to set up a transportation benefits program. The "FareShare" program of the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) offers reimbursements to local businesses for their employees' costs for commuting to work by public transit and the money is tax-free.

The program would cover expenses incurred by commuters using Ride On bus, Metrobus, Metrorail or MARC train as well as vanpools to commute to and from a workplace within Montgomery County. Businesses looking to implement or expand a transportation benefit program must provide the first $25 per month of travel costs for employees. The County will cover expenses over the initial $25, up to $315 a month. The full subsidy could be as high as $3,780 per year, per employee. It is tax-free to both the employee and the employer.
