For employees

The Clipper Direct program will end on December 31, 2023. The deadline for orders to be submitted for the last month of service, December 2023, is November 14.

Employers should move their transit benefits program to another provider prior to any deadline for that provider. Deadlines for the benefit month are often three weeks to a month prior, and employers will need time to set up a new account and enroll employees. A list of providers that includes all the types of benefits offered can be found here.

Employees should reach out to their employer and benefits staff to confirm whether their transit benefits have been moved to another provider. Transit benefits through a new provider can still be delivered to Clipper cards.

 

You can save up to 40%* on the cost of commuting.

Clipper Direct is a transit benefit program offered exclusively by Clipper®. Using pre-tax dollars deducted from your paycheck, you can add transit passes and fares directly to a Clipper card. You'll never have to wait for a voucher to arrive in the mail or be distributed by your employer. To learn more about Clipper Direct or to request information be sent directly to your employer, contact a member of our sales team.

Clipper Direct helps companies save, too. Pre-tax dollars contributed to transit benefit accounts are not subject to employer matching FICA and Medicare. Companies can save as much as $25.50 per month for EACH employee.

* The percentage of tax savings varies based on employee's actual tax rate. A total savings of 40% is based on a 28% federal income tax rate, 5% state income tax rate and 7.65% FICA and Medicare tax rate.
