WageWorks and SpotHero Partner to Deliver First-of-its-Kind Offering, Enabling Commuters to Reserve Daily Parking with Pre-Tax Dollars

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 16, 2017 -- WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE: WAGE), a leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits (CDBs), announced a partnership today with SpotHero, the leading parking reservation service in North America. The first-of-its-kind offering enables commuters to book and pay for daily parking with pre-tax dollars through SpotHero’s mobile app. Anyone with a WageWorks Commuter Account, which allows commuters to use pre-tax funds to pay for parking at work, can take advantage of this new benefit. Using SpotHero, participants can find convenient parking garages near the office, compare rates and book a spot in advance using pre-tax dollars. 

“WageWorks is always seeking new ways to help people utilize pre-tax benefits to save time and money on commuting,” said Joe Jackson, CEO at WageWorks. “We’re excited to partner with an industry leader like SpotHero to make parking easier for commuters who want a convenient way to book with pre-tax dollars on the go.”

“SpotHero is pleased to partner with WageWorks to make commuting more convenient and affordable,” said Elan Mosbacher, VP of Strategy & Partnerships for SpotHero. “As transportation goes multi-modal – with employees taking public transit one day, driving another and working from home the next – this partnership gives employees the flexibility they need when it comes to paying for daily parking with pre-tax dollars.”

Used by millions of drivers, SpotHero’s mobile app enables them to find parking in more than 5,000 garages and lots in more than 47 major cities – including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia. Participants enrolled in a WageWorks Commuter Account will now have the same access to these garages and lots for their qualified commuter parking.
