Make the IRS raise the pretax commuter benefit and never allow it to decrease below the pretax parking benefit again.

In 2014, the pretax commuter benefit dropped from a monthly allowance of $245 to $130 while the parking limit was raised to $250 from $245. In essence, this is a regressive tax on those who take public transportation and a further tax break for those who commute to work by car. This was a concession to pay for the Affordable Care Act which unfairly penalizes those who cannot afford it or are making a conscious choice not to further pollute the environment by not driving to work. The IRS should raise the pretax commuter limit so that it equals the parking pretax limit and never let it fall below the parking limit again. Ideally, the IRS will retain the commuter pretax limit at its current level and, if required, lower the parking subsidy.
