The Department of Defense Instruction 1000.27 establishes a mass transit benefit program for outside the National Capital Region. In accordance with
this Instruction, the Department of the Navy (DON) has implemented the Transportation Incentive Program (TIP) for DON employees
to help reduce their daily contribution to traffic congestion and air pollution, as well as expand their commuting alternatives.
Effective January 1, 2023, DON transit benefit participants are eligible for transit benefits up to $300.00 per month (parking fees
are not included) for specific pre-approved commuter mass transit transportation costs not to exceed actual expenses.
TIP is designed to pay for mass transit costs incurred by personnel in their local commute from residence to permanent duty station. Participants must
accurately claim an amount that reflects their actual commuting cost. Failure to do so will result in a fraudulent certification on the application and
is subject to criminal prosecution. This program is a benefit, not an entitlement; thus, there is no retroactive reimbursement.
