USDA Transit Subsidy Program

Transit subsidy is a monetary benefit where the Agency provides a specified amount to subsidize an employee’s monthly commuting costs. Employees who commute round trip from their residence to their official duty station are entitled to the Agency’s designated maximum benefit amount or their actual commuting costs; whichever is less.
