Jerry and all,
The info you seek is, indeed, on the LAB site:
http://www.bikeleague.org/
There is a link to the above the BCA info on the LAB's home page:
Next Steps for Bicycle Commuter Act (10.07.08)
Now that the bicycle commuter provision is law,
the League is taking the lead to ensure that
implementation guidelines are established
prior to the provision's effective date: January 1, 2009.
Continue to check our web site for new information,
we will be updating it with answers to
Frequently Asked Questions as we get the details.
Click here to see full text of the tax provision,
or here to read Congressman Blumenauer's explanation.
There should be enough info on these links to
keep you and/your CPA happy.
Regards,
Jon Spangler
in Alameda, CA USA
