CapMetro for Business
Austin's best employers are offering benefits that include public transit.
Operating in one of the country's tightest labor markets and with traffic what it is, Austin-area employers need every tool at their disposal to recruit and retain employees. CapMetro for Business offers a bulk discount program that lets businesses offer employees discounted access to public transit.
Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits
Help employees save on commuting costs by setting up a pre-tax transportation benefit to pay for transit fares. The pre-tax deduction can be combined with a partial or full subsidy from the employer. Please contact your benefits or payroll provider about setting up a pre-tax transportation deduction.
CapMetro has upgraded our fare payment system.
We rolled out new scanners, a new app, a new fare card and eventually a tap to pay feature. We removed digital passes and switched to automatic fare capping through the Umo app for most of our customers.
CapMetro for Business will continue to offer a bulk discount program to benefit businesses, higher education and government programs. Member of the CapMetro for Business program will be switched from physical plastic or paper passes to monthly passes through the Umo app or the CapMetro Realoadable Fare card.
To place an order, employers can now use the new CapMetro Marketplace to purchase either physical Reloadable Fare Cards or digital Umo benefit codes to distribute to their employees. This new system, along with monthly ridership reports (upon request) will allow employers track the use of their incentive more reliably.
