Bicycle Commuter Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill lets workers get tax-free money from their bosses to help pay for biking to work. It brings back a benefit that was stopped a few years ago and makes it much more useful for modern commuters.
• The new rules would cover more than just standard bicycles. The benefit would now include electric bikes, electric scooters, and bike-sharing programs. It also covers the costs of buying, fixing, or storing these items.
• To get the benefit, a person must regularly use their bike or scooter for their commute. This includes riding from home to the office or using a bike to get to a train station or bus stop.
• The monthly limit for this benefit would be tied to other transit perks. It would be set at 30 percent of the amount allowed for parking or bus passes, giving bikers a fair share of travel assistance.
• If the bill becomes law, these tax breaks would start for the 2025 tax year. This would help lower the cost of living for people who choose to avoid driving cars to work.
