Mass Transit Incentive Programs

Faculty & Staff
Three incentive programs are available to Princeton University employees who use mass transit to commute to campus.

1. Transportation & Parking Services Mass Transit Subsidy Program
Princeton University employees who commute to campus via mass transit are eligible to receive a 50% subsidy* on his or her monthly transit pass. Individuals interested in participating in this program can apply by completing an application form available here.

How it works:
Participants will complete the application form and will also be required to download monthly forms available here. Each month, participants will complete this form, attach their monthly transit receipt(s) and scan or fax them to Crosby Benefits System, Inc. at (617) 928-0001 or servicecenter@crosbybenefits.com. The subsidy will be given in the subsequent paycheck following receipt of your subsidy request. We ask that you send in the subsidy request by the 10th of each month to ensure there is sufficient time to process your request.

Employees with limited computer access may perform these monthly transactions at Transportation & Parking Services located on the A Floor, New South.

*NOTE: The mass transit subsidy is considered taxable income and is subject to federal and state income taxes. The subsidy will appear as additional income in a subsequent paycheck following receipt of your subsidy request.

2. Human Resources’ Parking and Transit Reimbursement Program
This program is administered through Human Resources and enables employees to take pre-tax dollars from their paycheck to pay for their transit or parking pass. More information on this program is available at: www.princeton.edu/hr/ben/parktrans.htm. Monthly forms for this program are available at: www.princeton.edu/hr/ben/transitclmfrm.pdf.

3. Transportation & Parking Services Mass Transit Subsidy Program and Human Resources’ Parking and Transit Reimbursement Program
It is possible for Princeton University employees to enroll in both programs listed above. If you are not currently signed up for HR’s Reimbursement program and would like to, please follow the instructions listed under option #2. After that process is complete, please complete the Mass Transit Subsidy Application Form, available here to ensure we have a record of employees who are receiving a monthly subsidy.

If you are already enrolled with Human Resources’ Transit and Parking Reimbursement program, please continue sending in your monthly forms, with the appropriate transit receipts attached. We ask that you also fill out Transportation & Parking Services Mass Transit Subsidy Application Form, available here to ensure we have a record of who is receiving a subsidy each month.

Students
These are incentive programs available to Princeton University students.

NJ Transit Monthly Pass Student Discount
Princeton Undergraduate and Graduate students are eligible to receive a rail, bus, or light rail monthly pass at 25% off of the regular monthly pass price, when they enroll online through NJ TRANSIT's Quik-Tik program.

New to Quik-Tik?
Getting started is easy. To initially sign up, you must login through the secure Princeton University access page. Your full-time student status will be verified electronically to NJ TRANSIT. When you sign up the price of the monthly pass you order will automatically reflect the 25 percent student discount. During your enrollment, you will create a "Quik-Tik user name and password," so you can view or manage your account directly from the NJ TRANSIT Quik-Tik login without entering from our university site. To contact Quik-Tik, call 866-QUIK-TIX.

Existing Quik-Tik Users
If you are an existing Student Quik-Tik customer, all you need to do is recativate your account. Here's how:

• Login to Princeton University's access page (the page where you initially went to enroll).
• Enter required information (student pin, user ID, etc.), and you will be taken the NJ TRANSIT's Quik-Tik main page. Enter requested information.
  You are now at the "Account Summary" page. Scroll to the bottom to see your status information.
• Click on "Change Status."
• Click on "Reactivate previously suspended monthly pass mailing" and click on the submit button.
  

After your account is reactivated, you will again receive monthly passes each month on an automatic basis until next May. You must enter Quik-Tik from Princeton University's access page to reactivate your account. If you have any questions regarding reactivating your account, please contact us at 1-866-Quik-Tik.

It's important to remember:

• You must sign up by the 10th of the month to receive your monthly pass for the travel in the next month. (Enrollment must be completed on or before the 10th of the previous month to receive the pass for the next month.)
• Effective with the mailing of September 2009 monthly passes, a non-refundable $3 processing fee will be applied each month, in addition to the fare for the pass.
• After you enroll for Quik-Tik, you will receive a new monthly pass in the mail each and every month unless you choose to suspend your account.
• If you choose to suspend your monthly pass (winter or summer break), you will need to reactivate your account once again through our secure Montclair State University website (this will verify enrollment).
• Students who participate in this program agree that the monthly pass is for their exclusive use only. Each student is eligible to receive one discounted monthly pass per month. Passes are non-transferable. Any abuse or purposeful deception will result in the cancellation of the student's monthly pass account, and (s)he will be unable to participate in the program in the future. This will also apply to any other student who is knowingly involved.
