Public transit deduction from paycheck

Each month I have 17.39 taken from my paycheck for the public transportation in my area. Is this a tax deductible item? If so where do I deduct such an expense.

No. The deductions are made throughout the year on a pre-tax basis. It lowers taxable wages. The savings are derived from not paying income tax on that salary.
