Over 18 months, Newfront watched client after client struggle with commuter benefits:
receiving $30K+ penalty notices for missed filings
dealing with 12% annual price increases from legacy providers
abandoning programs because the platforms were too painful to use
The pattern was clear: every existing solution was built for a different era. Manual compliance tracking, reactive support, and pricing models that punished adoption.
So Newfront and Fleet built a partnership to fix it.
If you have employees in these cities, you're required to offer commuter benefits
$10k+ annual fines
$150-300/day, up to $100k+ for repeat violations
$100-800 per employee per month
$500 every 30 days, up to $3k per violation
Statewide mandate, escalating fines up to $5k
Multiple jurisdictions with daily compounding penalties
Miss a single filing deadline and penalties compound daily. We've seen it happen.
Calculate your exposure →Newfront spent 6 months evaluating every commuter benefits platform. For this partnership to work, the solution needed to solve all three core problems:
Fleet guarantees it. If you get fined while using their platform, they pay the penalty.
They can make this guarantee because the system monitors every deadline across every jurisdiction, files reports automatically, and maintains auditable records. Compliance isn't something you manage—it's handled.
You pay 50% of the tax savings Fleet generates. That's it.
No setup fees. No per-employee charges. No minimum participation. If the program doesn't generate savings, you don't pay. This was non-negotiable for us—pricing had to align with actual value.
3-6× higher employee adoption than legacy platforms.
The app works like the financial tools people already use—one-tap payments, real-time balance updates, simple interface. Higher adoption means more savings for everyone. (We tested this ourselves internally before recommending it.)
Each participating employee saves up to $2,300/year in taxes on commute expenses.
The fee is tied to actual savings. If employees don't use the program or your savings are lower, you pay less.
Your Newfront advisor introduces you to Fleet and assesses your situation—locations, headcount, current setup (if any).
Fleet's team handles implementation: HRIS integration, program setup, employee communications, payroll configuration. Most clients go live before their next payroll cycle.
Fleet monitors regulations, files compliance reports, tracks deadlines, provides employee support. You get quarterly check-ins with a dedicated account manager. Your Newfront advisor stays involved to make sure this works with your broader benefits strategy—especially if you expand to new locations or your needs change.
