County Offers Employees Transit Benefit

Employees may be eligible for public transportation reimbursement

With construction set to begin soon on the County Administration Center’s Waterfront Park, many employees will have to change the way they park —and where they park — each day. Starting Sept. 24, the CAC’s South Lot will close, requiring many employees to park at offsite lots.

Did you know you may be eligible for a reimbursement for using public transportation? It might be a good time to consider (or reconsider) the County’s policy. For details, view the complete DHR Transit Pass Reimbursement Policy # 802 or Transportation Reimbursement Administrative Code Sec. 495. For more specifics, you can also look at the Memoranda of Agreement for your bargaining unit.

Starting Sept. 24, many CAC employees must begin parking at Lane Field, a lot located a half mile south of the CAC at 900 W. Broadway. Other employees must shift to a lot at the intersection of Cedar Street and Kettner Blvd., while some will be able to continue to park at the CAC. Shuttles will circulate between the CAC and the lots.

For more information, talk to your supervisor, Departmental Human Resources Officer or Labor Relations.

Compass Cards can have value added then be used as a ticket for buses, Trolley, Sprinter or Coaster. They can be reloaded online.
