It is the employer's decision as to whether or not an employee can be reimbursed through the Act. Employees may receive up to $20 a month to cover the employees bicycle commute related expenses. The Act was intended to help cover costs related to commuting by bicycle including the purchase of a helmet, bike lock, shower facilities, bike parking, maintenance, and a commuter bicycle.

The first step to having this benefit implemented in your workplace is talking with your employer. Work with other employees that commute by bicycle to work as well, and encourage them to talk with your employer.

Many employers hold contracts with Commuter Benefit Providers to conduct the bicycle commuter benefit program. It is also possible to carry out the bicycle commuter benefit program in the workplace through a cash reimbursement program implemented by the employer.
