Uber Technologies Inc. is expanding a partnership with WageWorks Inc. that allows users of the ride-sharing giant's UberPool service to pay for commutes to and from work with pretax funds, bringing the benefit to several cities across the U.S.

The program will extend to areas including San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and Denver, according to a statement Tuesday from WageWorks, which administers consumer-directed benefits plans. The companies began testing the partnership in New York in August.
