Translink Employer Benefits Program

The Employer Benefits Program provides savings for both the employees and employer. The employee's TransLink Card is loaded monthly on a pre-tax basis, (which is about a 40% savings, implemented in the same way as a health savings account). The employer saves on payroll tax on those amounts, at 7.65%. The program is implemented seamlessly using a web-based platform. The employer cost is $3 per month per participant, which should be more than offset by the payroll tax savings.

A company can self sign-up by visiting the Translink website and clicking on “Employer. The sign-up process:

  1. Print and mail back a copy of the signed Agreement
  2. Input bank account and routing numbers
  3. Upload a file of participating employees

Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry Service

Employees and visitors of companies, agencies and organizations in the Business Park can commute to and from Downtown San Francisco on the Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry Service, using a ferry terminal located at the west end of the Business Park. The Business Park Association provides a private subsidy to the Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry Service, which is primarily funded by passenger farebox revenues and by public subsidies from State and Regional government agencies and the City of Alameda. The ferry passenger service is operated by Harbor Bay Maritime, Inc., a private company with headquarters in the Business Park. The Business Park Association also manages and maintains the ferry terminal under a contract with the City of Alameda.
