As you may be aware, NYC's Commuter Benefits Law takes effect January 1, 2016, and the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) wants to make sure you have important information. DCA is responsible for enforcing the law and coordinating the City's public education and outreach campaign, and we are committed to working with businesses to make sure the law, which benefits both employers and employees, is administered effectively and fairly.
