First, the District committed to provide a $25 monthly commuter benefit/metro incentive to eligible employees who use Metro to commute to and from work. This program was implemented in October 2007, and to date, approximately 7,734 eligible bargaining unit employees take advantage of this benefit. The OLRCB continues to work with the Department of Human Resources, WMATA, agencies, employees and labor representatives to ensure that all eligible and interested employees are provided the opportunity to take advantage of this benefit.
