<\/a>Like other types of flexible spending accounts, commuter spending accounts (CSAs) let employees use pre-tax dollars to pay for expenses such as parking fees and public transportation fares. (Note: Gas costs or toll road fees are not<\/strong> eligible expenses.) The accounts are subject to Internal Revenue Service rules.<\/p>\nThe CSAs are offered by the Employees Retirement System of Texas and administered by ADP.<\/p>\n
