Only local service is available weekends. To be eligible for this benefit, you must be a benefit-level employee of the University and authorize TransitCheck fees through payroll reduction. This University benefit is available for employees who commute to work via train, bus or vanpool. The benefit is in the form of transit vouchers called TransitChecks. Employees who participate will have their salaries or wages reduced by the amount of their TransitCheck charges before taxes are taken in a manner similar to current reductions for the pre-tax parking benefit which has been very well received by the Yale community.
