San Francisco Makes Businesses Provide Commuter Benefits

San Francisco Makes Businesses Provide Commuter Benefits:
"Employers in the San Francisco Bay Area are adjusting to a new regulation this month that requires them to provide commuter benefits to employees.
The Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program mandates private, public and non-profit companies with 50 or more full-time employees to offer commuter benefits in an effort to “improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion.”
On Sept. 30, employers in the Bay Area Air Quality Management District—which includes nine counties in Northern California—had to comply with the new program or face civil penalties up to $10,000 per day under California’s air pollution control laws."
