The City of Los Angeles offers a variety of transportation benefits to eligible City employees through its COMMUTEwell Program. The Personnel Department’s Employee Benefits Division administers the COMMUTEwell Program, which includes coordination of the City’s ridesharing programs and issuance of parking permits for City-owned and leased parking lots. COMMUTEwell provides information on commuting alternatives and encourages employees to join the City's efforts to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in the Los Angeles Basin.

Transportation benefits are established by the City’s Special Memorandum of Understanding on City Employee Parking and Commute Options (Special Parking MOU) and overseen by the City’s Joint Labor-Management Committee on Commute Options and Parking (JLMC-COP). Per the Special Parking MOU, employees are only allowed one transportation or parking benefit at a time from the City.

Eligible employees include the City’s civilian and sworn Police/Fire employees (excluding employees of the Los Angeles World Airports, Harbor Department, and Department of Water and Power, each of which offers its own transportation benefit programs).
