A New Green Economy Event on September 14th
From 8-10 a.m. on Sept. 14, seven prominent Chicago area civic groups including the Active Transportation Alliance will hold a roundtable at the Downtown Omni Hotel to discuss tax savings through transit benefits. Attendees will learn about how you can provide your employees a greener way to commute through a federal tax law that saves payroll taxes.
Beyond learning about how these programs work, roundtable participants will also hear what other cities are doing to work with employers and how businesses can save while offering a real benefit to employees. The roundtable will feature other top executives from the Chicagoland area, local elected leaders, Members of Congress, and other national leaders.
