Better yet, Leidos employees can set aside up to $315 per month on a pre-tax basis to use for commuting by transit, which can provide over $1,000 in annual tax savings.

This new payment system is unique to WMATA. Local and regional transit systems typically only accept SmarTrip cards or exact change in cash.

Ways to Pay:
