With Schumer’s successful efforts late last month, qualifying mass transit commuters are now eligible to receive up to $250 per month for 2015 and $255 per month for 2016 in tax deductions, with a cost-of-living adjustment after 2015. This mass transit tax befit was included in the recently passed tax “extenders package,” the <em>Protecting Americans From Tax Hikes Act of 2015,</em> which Schumer fought to pass. This legislation provides permanent parity between the parking and mass-transit commuter benefit, nearly doubling the value of the mass transit benefit. Schumer said not all commuters know about this cost-cutting benefit available to them or exactly how to claim it for themselves yet. During his visit, Schumer personally passed out key instructions prepared by his office to Metro-North users and discussed the benefit with riders.</p>"}}
