BUSD Parking & Transportation Reimbursement Plan 2012:

Eligible employees may designate a portion of tax-free dollars to pay for qualified transit, parking and van pooling or parking expenses. You may access your plan dollars by either of the following methods:

            Online Claim Filing
            Paper Claim Form Filing

Debit Cards:  Each Parking & Transit participant may receive a debit card.  Debit cards will be mailed separately to the participant’s address of record.  They should receive their cards about two weeks after we receive their enrollment.  Please note, CBA provides one debit card that will work for the Medical FSA, Parking, and Transit accounts (the debit card cannot be used for the day care account).  If an employee has a debit card already and signs up for the transit or parking account, they will not receive a new card.  Instead, their existing card will be enhanced to accept parking and transit transactions.

Please know that contributions are added to each participant’s Parking and/or Transit account on each payday (just like a bank account).  So if an employee elects $100 per pay day to be contributed for Transit expenses, the funds will not be available until the actual pay day.  This is quite different from the Medical FSA, which allows employees to be reimbursed up to their “annual election” at any time during the year, regardless of the amount they have actually contributed. If you have any problems accessing your account please contact CBA customer service for assistance.
