What is NYS Ride?
The cost of traveling to and from work is unavoidable.

NYS-Ride is a state employee benefit that allows you to use pre-tax dollars on a variety of qualified public transit and parking costs. And if you commute to work by mass transportation, you are helping contribute to a greener environment.
