Stanford University offers eligible commuters the option to use pre-tax dollars to make transit purchases. This program could mean a savings of up to 40 percent on commute-related expenses. Edenred Commuter Benefits administers the university's pre-tax transit program.
Here are answers to questions you may have about pre-tax transit and commuter benefits.
Eligible members of the Stanford University community have access to Edenred Commuter Benefits through Stanford’s single sign-on process. Sign in using the following process:
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford Health Care employees can access pre-tax commuter benefits through Stanford Medicine’s HealthEquity Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits program.
Commuters can purchase the same types of pre-tax commuter purchases as they did before this change, such as transit passes, Caltrain parking, Clipper Cash, and commuter checks. In addition, new options have been added, including BART parking. For more information, visit our Who and What are Eligible for Pre-Tax Purchases? page.
Orders must be placed through Edenred’s portal by no later than the 10th of the preceding month. For example, if you want to receive an order in March, you must place your order by Feb. 10.
Please be aware that Edenred’s system appears the same way for all of their clients, so they use generic terms and are unable to pre-populate some of the information specifically for Stanford, such as the cost of Caltrain parking. For example, where their form asks for the “Parking Account Number” for Caltrain parking, the correct number to enter is your Clipper card number.
