Fargo, ND, February 13, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Discovery Benefits, a third-party administrator of tax-advantaged commuter benefits as well as other consumer-directed health accounts, such as HSAs, FSAs, HRAs and COBRA, recently improved its pre-tax commuter benefits plan to include 14 more Lyft Line locations in which participants can use their funds.

Participants in a Discovery Benefits pre-tax commuter benefits plan can now use their benefits debit cards in the Lyft Line app to pay for commuting expenses in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Philadelphia, Portland (Ore.), San Diego, San Francisco, Washington (D.C.), the Silicon Valley and New Jersey. Participants could already use their benefits debit cards in the Lyft Line app in Boston, Miami, New York and Seattle.
