The document provides information about the Mass Transportation Benefit Program (MTBP) for Clay National Guard Center employees. The MTBP provides a tax-free transit subsidy of up to $125 per month that can be used for vanpooling. It originated from an executive order to reduce traffic congestion and pollution by incentivizing public transportation. Active duty service members, DoD employees, and NAF employees who commute via bus, rail, or vanpool are eligible. Vanpooling through the program helps reduce delays at security checkpoints, parking demand, traffic congestion, and the center's environmental impact. The document provides contact information to learn more about Clay National Guard Center's vanpool program.
