More than 190 employers in Miami-Dade County offer this great benefit to their employees, including the University of Miami, Baptist Health Trust, Intercontinental Hotel, and Jackson Memorial Hospital. Over 9000 employees are now enrolled in MDT's Corporate Discount Program.

Group Discounts

Enjoy group discounts of up to 15% off the regular cost and additional pre-tax savings through payroll deductions. The regular price of a 1-Month pass on an EASY Card is $100 per month. But through the Corporate Discount Program, groups of four to 99 employees are eligible to purchase passes for $90. Groups of 100 or more pay only $85 per monthly pass.

Three Ways to Participate

The employee pays for the entire cost of monthly transit with pre-tax/set-aside dollars of their salary. 

Tax Benefits

• There is no income tax on these set-aside dollars. So it's a tax-free transit benefit that employees can obtain through their employers.    
• The set-aside dollar amount is also reflected as a reduction of taxable salary, so employees pay less income tax.

The employer pays for the entire cost of monthly transit through a tax-deductible subsidy.

Tax Benefits

• The employer receives an equivalent federal income tax deduction.
• Employees do not have to report this option as taxable income because it is considered a fringe benefit.   

The employer and employee share the cost of monthly transit, both paying for it with pre-tax dollars. 

Tax Benefits

• The employer saves on payroll taxes; the employee doesn't pay income tax on the set-aside dollar amount - A win-win situation!

New Corporate Discount Program Card a Hit!

MDT’s Corporate Discount Program participants were eager to stand out among a sea of green EASY Cards. They wanted a distinct look, something that would easily identify them as CDP members when riding transit.  The solution was an elegant, black EASY Card with “Corporate Discount Program” emblazoned on the back!

The Rubenstein Law Firm (pictured above) joined the program  effective February 1, 2013 and was the first company to receive the slick, new EASY Cards.  Eight of their employees now participate in the CDP.

“We chose the color black to denote professionalism and elegance,” said CDP Program Manager, Victoria Elliott. “Members are very impressed with the new cards, which designate their status as CDP members much more visibly.”

Organizations with four or more employees are eligible to participate in the Corporate Discount Program.  Companies who have between four and 99 employees receive a 10% discount on the monthly EASY Card (they pay $90 instead of the regular price of $100). Companies with more than 99 employees can save 15% -- they pay just $85 for a monthly pass.
