Winter 2010
Be good to yourself.
As the holiday season quickly approaches, we encourage you to make time for yourself.
Whether that involves a few hours at the gym, an afternoon of shopping, or an evening
at the opera, taking some time out to focus on your own well-being will make you
happier and healthier.
You can look to Campus Life Services to help you thrive and succeed. From our
fitness center open house to a free holiday concert (with chocolate), from shopping and
transportation discounts to staff appreciation events, we are here to make life better for
you–the students, staff, and faculty of UCSF. We hope you enjoy your time here at UCSF,
and we hope you have a great holiday season. Take care!

Commuters! Save Money with the Pretax Transit Program
Transportation’s Pretax Transit Program allows employees to reduce their public transit
and non-UCSF vanpool costs by about one-third (you save about $.30 for each
dollar you spend). The program works by allowing you to deduct up to $230 per month
from your paycheck without paying payroll taxes on this income. Your annual savings can
be as much as $828 (actual savings will vary based on your tax rate). Your annual savings
can equate to more than three months of free public transit each year.
You can now also load your Clipper Card online with your Pretax Transportation Debit
Card (all program participants receive a card). Transportation Services also provides
Clipper Cards and can perform Clipper transactions at office locations. For more
information, contact Transportation Services at 476-1511.
