Bicycle Commuters employees who regularly commute to and from the Court using bicycles, as defined by the use of a bicycle on at least sixty (60) days per six (6)-month period. Employees shall only qualify for one (1) commuter incentive category per six (6)-month period. Qualifying employees shall be eligible to enroll in this program and begin accruing commuter credits immediately after ratification. Employees who fall under the carpool or bicycle commuter categories shall report their commute with Marin Commutes in order to be eligible to receive the forty dollars ($40) per month taxable commuter incentive. The Court shall have two (2) disbursement periods for employees who receive the commuter incentive for carpool or bicycle commuters. The Court shall pay out the first disbursement every calendar year during the month of May to reflect the reporting period between November 1st and April 30th. The Court shall pay out the second disbursement every calendar year during the month of November to reflect the reporting period between May 1st and October 31st. The Court shall disburse the commuter incentive by adding the six (6)-month total of forty ($40) dollars per month or two hundred and forty dollars ($240) to the eligible employee’s second paycheck in May or November, respectively. Consistent with the Court’s stated intention of remaining in lockstep with the County of Marin in this incentive program, should the County of Marin increase the payment amounts or otherwise increase the level of employee commuter benefits provided under its Transit Match & Pre-Tax Payroll Transportation Benefits program during the term of this Agreement, the parties shall promptly meet and confer with the goal of remaining in lockstep with the County of Marin as to commuter benefits.
