About TRANServe

History

The Federal Transit Benefit Program is an important tool to help address the congestion and air pollution issues affecting the nation. The Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Benefit Program (TRANServe) was established in 1991 which provided up to $21.00 per month in transit fare media. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 raised the monthly tax-free limit to $60.00.  When the Federal Employees Clean Air Incentive Act, was signed into law in 1993, it permanently authorized Federal participation in this program, resulting in its expansion throughout the Department of Transportation and other Federal agencies.  The Executive Order 13150, signed into law in April 2000, called upon DOT, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy to implement a nationwide pilot program, and ascertain its effectiveness in reducing single occupancy vehicle travel and local area traffic congestion.  In 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act required Federal agencies to implement transit benefit programs for all eligible employees.
