Losing pre-tax commuter benefits pushes Long Islanders away from using mass transit to get to and from work while trying to make ends meet. The inability of Congress to extend the tax provisions last month are effectually a tax hike on Long Island commuters – and it will cost you up to $1000 more this year alone to get to work. It affects our community as a whole, causing our economic recovery to slow.

It's time to let Congress know exactly how their inaction last month is hitting YOUR household.
