SB 582

Regional Commuter Benefit Legislation

September 2012
On September 30, 2012, Governor Brown signed SB 1339 (Yee), authorizing the Bay Area to develop a pilot program that will give Bay Area commuters a greater incentive to leave their cars at home. The law allows MTC and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to adopt an ordinance requiring employers of 50 or more full-time employees to offer some type of commuter benefit, leaving it up to the employer to chose from a menu of benefit options.
