Wage Works: Employee Discount on Public Trans.

Raining outside? Snow too deep to bike? As a biker sometimes you have to ride public transportation as an option to beat the elements or for other reasons. Luckily Temple has a program that saves you money. WageWorks at Temple enables full time employees of Temple University to pay for public transportation, vanpool, or parking expenses with pre-tax dollars .

Wage Works not only applies to a set, standard monthly transit pass option for public transportation, but you can also select a Wage Works Commuter Card.  The Commuter Card works just like a credit card and can be used to pay for your commuting costs at all SEPTA locations that accept credit or debit cards.

Check out plan details, easy-to-use savings calculators and enrollment instructions at  WageWorks. If you are not already enrolled in WageWorks, click on: “First Time User? Register Now,” and follow the simple steps.

If you have a question regarding your payroll deduction, please contact the Payroll Department at 215-926-2244. Inquiries about how the program works should be directed to WageWorks.
