• MDW employee monthly: Badge-holder on-airport lot; off-site public monthly $180–260/mo.

Tax-free commuter parking benefit

The IRS qualified transportation fringe benefit (section 132(f)) lets you pay for up to $315/month in 2026 of qualified parking with pre-tax dollars through your employer. That saves most commuters 25–35% versus paying out of pocket, depending on your marginal bracket.

• Works for any parking where you work or at a mass-transit station you use to commute.
• Set up through your employer's payroll — common vendors include WageWorks, HealthEquity, and Edenred.
• If your monthly parking is $300, pre-tax saves $75–105/mo or roughly $900–1,260/yr.
• The benefit does not apply to residential parking or personal (non-commuter) use.
• Separate from the $315/mo transit benefit — you can stack both if you park-and-ride.

How to reserve monthly parking

1. Pick your neighborhood and compare monthly rates on Windy Parking, SpotHero Monthly, or the operator's website.
2. Check 24hr access, EV charging, reserved vs unreserved — confirm the perks match what you need.
3. Sign the month-to-month agreement online or at the garage. You'll typically provide a credit card, license plate, and vehicle info.
4. Receive access card or LPR registration. Most newer garages skip the card and recognize your plate automatically.
5. Confirm with payroll if using commuter-benefit pre-tax — your HR/benefits vendor may need the garage W-9 or operator's direct-pay instructions.
