Community Updates
Did you know it is mandatory for employers with 50 or more full-time employees in the Bay Area to register with the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program?
Even if an employer offers commuter benefits, to be in compliance with the Bay Area Air District’s Regulation 14, Rule 1, they are required to enroll in the program and update their registration annually.
For more information, visit 511.org, call us at 510-285-3182 or email the team at [email protected] to confirm if your organization is registered.
We love supporting our community members by sharing information about their events and fundraisers.
