Work and Life Balance

Transportation Program
If you take public transportation, ride in a vanpool, or pay to park near work (or park near public transportation), participating in Sovereign's Transportation Program could save you time and taxes by taking advantage of IRS regulations that allow you to use pre-tax income to pay commuting and/or parking costs. The money you set aside through this account allows you to fund some or all of your transit expenses with pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions. If your transportation/parking vendor participates in the Transit Program, your parking or transit pass can be mailed directly to your home.

This program also allows you to enroll, change, or cancel your election on a monthly basis, and offers access to your account online through ADP's Commuter Service Department.
