Marks: +1, -0

Under current federal law, employers are allowed to offer their employees free parking spaces as a tax-free benefit, but they can offer employees only up to

\$180

per year as a tax-free benefit for using mass transit. The government could significantly increase mass transit rider ship by raising the limit of this benefit to meet commuters’ transportation costs.
The proposal above to increase mass transit rider ship assumes that

current mass transit systems are subject to unexpected route closings and delays
using mass transit creates less air pollution per person than using a private automobile
the parking spaces offered by employers as tax-free benefits can be worth as much as $\$2,500$ per year
many employees are deterred by financial considerations from using mass transit to commute to their places of employment
because of traffic congestion on major commuter routes, it is often faster to travel to one’s place of employment by means of mass transit than by private automobile
