A message to MARC Train and Commuter Bus passengers that
use Electronic Smart Benefits to pay for their tickets—
Effective January 1, 2014, the maximum Federal transit
allowance will drop from $245 to $130.
MARC Train and Commuter Bus passengers will need to adjust their
allocations with Commuter Direct and, if necessary, update their second form of
payment in order to receive their ticket(s).
If Commuter Direct does not receive full payment for your ticket--Smart Benefits, credit card, cash, or check--they will not issue your January ticket(s).
Please contact Commuter Direct by email at questions@CommuterDirect.com or
visit their website at www.mta.commuterdirect.com
with any questions regarding your account.
In the event that the United States Congress takes action
to maintain the $245 benefit level, we will let you know.
