Our template letter and call script can be used to contact your representatives to ask for their support in defending the Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefit (QTFB) during the upcoming reconciliation process. Use this link to find your Congressperson or Senator if you are unsure. You may contact the Congresspeople who represent your work site, service area, and/or your residential address, if they are different.

Commuter Tax Benefit Recommendations - White Paper
Beginning this work in 2024, ACT's Commuter Tax Benefits Work Group set out to create recommendations for enhancing and improving the current Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefit (QTFB). ACT's Board of Directors officially approved the group's recommendations, and we are excited to share our work with the broader membership. This white paper includes the history of the QTFB, why protecting and improving these benefits is critical for TDM, and a detailed explanation of our recommendations.
