After School Transportation & FSA

Raising kids is expensive. Today's American families are more likely than those of past decades to feature two full-time working parents. 

Parents are always looking for ways to maximize their budgets and schedules.  Here at Care Commute, we offer a variety of prescheduled services, but we specialize in providing school transportation. 

Did you know that your Care Commute before and after school transportation may qualify as an eligible expense for your dependent care flexible spending account (FSA)?

A dependent care FSA, allows parents to use pretax dollars to pay for some of the costs of child care. Using a dependent care FSA to pay for Care Commute's school transportation service may mean a savings of up to 30%, depending on your individual tax rate.

Care Commute's school shuttle service may qualify as an eligible expense for dependent care FSAs because Care Commute's Care Drivers are experienced care givers who provide child care while they’re providing transportation for your child.

Make sure to consult your FSA administrator to see if your Care Commute service qualifies as an eligible expense under your plan.
