Allows workers to exclude bicycle commuting benefits from taxable income.
The problem
Workers who bike to work receive no tax breaks, while those using transit or parking get tax deductions. This discourages environmentally friendly commuting.
The proposal
Creates tax exclusion allowing employers to provide bicycle commuting benefits to employees without workers paying income tax on the benefit.
The impact
Employees who bike to work, employers offering bike benefits, and federal tax revenue are affected. Workers save money, employers gain recruitment tool, government loses tax revenue.
Makes biking more attractive financially, reducing car use and emissions. Supports environmental goals and public health by promoting exercise.
Bike commuters currently get no tax benefits while transit and parking do. This creates fairness in tax treatment across transportation methods.
Offering bike benefits becomes more valuable when tax-free. Employers gain competitive advantage attracting workers without higher salary costs.
Employees receive tax-free benefit, reducing annual tax burden. Makes commuting costs lower for workers using bicycles.
Government collects less income tax from workers receiving bike benefits. Federal budget revenue decreases, requiring cuts elsewhere or higher taxes.
Tax benefits worth more to high-income workers in top tax brackets. Low-income workers and non-bikers see minimal benefit.
Many cannot bike due to distance, weather, disability, or safety. Benefit applies only to fraction of workforce, reducing overall impact.
Few people bike to work nationally despite tax incentives. Real change requires better infrastructure, not just tax breaks.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
