Plain-English summary
Commuter Choice Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to increase the limits on the value of certain employer-provided commuting benefits that are excluded from gross income. Allows the exclusion only if the employer offers an employee the option of a cash payment in lieu of the benefit. Modifies the inflation adjustment requirements, including starting the adjustments after 2002 (currently, after 1993).
