W-2 employees cannot deduct any job-related expenses on a federal return.  Further, the costs of commuting to and from work--which includes transportation or parking---has never been deductible as a job-related expense.

if you are an employee the answer is no. As an independent contractor, this would seem to be a commuting expense which is also not deductible.
