<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>EXPLANATORY NOTE</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to March&nbsp;30, 2001, Ceridian Corporation (&#147;Ceridian&#148;) was a publicly traded company whose
principal lines of business were the human resource service businesses, the Comdata business, which
provided transaction processing and regulatory compliance services for the transportation industry,
and the radio audience measurement business. On March&nbsp;30, 2001, Ceridian completed a reverse
spin-off. In connection with the spin-off, the assets and liabilities associated with the human
resource service businesses and Comdata subsidiaries were transferred to a newly formed company
named &#147;New Ceridian.&#148; The radio audience measurement business stayed with Ceridian. Ceridian then
distributed the stock of New Ceridian to all of Ceridian&#146;s existing stockholders. As a result, New
Ceridian is now a separate publicly traded corporation. In connection with the spin-off, Ceridian
changed its name to Arbitron Inc. (&#147;Arbitron&#148; or &#147;the Company&#148;) and effected a one-for-five reverse
stock split, and New Ceridian changed its name to Ceridian Corporation.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;22, 1999, a total of 10,000,000 shares of Ceridian common stock to be issued in
connection with the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;1999 Plan&#148;), were registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) by a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File
No.&nbsp;333-89565). Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, two million four hundred fifty seven
thousand four hundred sixty two (2,457,462) registered shares of common stock that had not been
issued under the Ceridian Corporation 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;1993 Plan&#148;) prior to its
expiration were carried forward to, and deemed covered by, the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(File No.&nbsp;333-89565) filed by the Company with the Commission on October&nbsp;22, 1999 in connection
with the 1999 Plan. In addition, on February&nbsp;28, 2001, pursuant to General Instruction E to Form
S-8, the remaining two hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred eighty six (237,586) additional
registered shares of common stock that had not been issued under the 1993 Plan prior to its
expiration were carried forward to, and deemed covered by, a new Registration Statement on Form S-8
(File No.&nbsp;333-56296) in connection with the 1999 Plan.




<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are filing this Registration Statement to register an additional one million six hundred
sixty five thousand (1,665,000) shares of our common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan (as
amended and restated on May&nbsp;19, 1999, November&nbsp;28, 2000, March&nbsp;30, 2001 and May&nbsp;17, 2004). The
increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan (from
2,539,009 shares of common stock (reflecting the one-for-five reverse stock split effected on March
30, 2001) to 4,204,009 shares of common stock), as well as certain other amendments to the 1999
Plan that are described in our definitive proxy statement for our 2004 annual meeting of
stockholders, were approved by our stockholders at our 2004 annual meeting of stockholders held on
May&nbsp;17, 2004. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of Registration
Statement Nos. 333-89565 and 333-56296 are incorporated herein by reference except to the extent
supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein. Only those Items of Form
S-8 containing new information not contained in the earlier registration statements are presented

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) permits a corporation, under
specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents and its former
directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation&#146;s request, in
such capacities with another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), as well as
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that
they were or are our directors, officers, employees or agents, if such directors, officers,
employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason
to believe their conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in an
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability
adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL. Section&nbsp;102 of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty; (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL,
relating to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or (iv)&nbsp;for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s bylaws provide that to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company must
indemnify any of the following persons, including their heirs, executors and personal
representatives, against any and all amounts incurred or imposed in connection with any proceeding,
other than a proceeding initiated by such person:

Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Prior to March 30, 2001, Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian") was a publicly traded company whose
principal lines of business were the human resource service businesses, the Comdata business, which
provided transaction processing and regulatory compliance services for the transportation industry,
and the radio audience measurement business. On March 30, 2001, Ceridian completed a reverse
spin-off. In connection with the spin-off, the assets and liabilities associated with the human
resource service businesses and Comdata subsidiaries were transferred to a newly formed company
named "New Ceridian." The radio audience measurement business stayed with Ceridian. Ceridian then
distributed the stock of New Ceridian to all of Ceridian's existing stockholders. As a result, New
Ceridian is now a separate publicly traded corporation. In connection with the spin-off, Ceridian
changed its name to Arbitron Inc. ("Arbitron" or "the Company") and effected a one-for-five reverse
stock split, and New Ceridian changed its name to Ceridian Corporation.
On October 22, 1999, a total of 10,000,000 shares of Ceridian common stock to be issued in
connection with the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan"), were registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File
No. 333-89565). Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, two million four hundred fifty seven
thousand four hundred sixty two (2,457,462) registered shares of common stock that had not been
issued under the Ceridian Corporation 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan") prior to its
expiration were carried forward to, and deemed covered by, the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(File No. 333-89565) filed by the Company with the Commission on October 22, 1999 in connection
with the 1999 Plan. In addition, on February 28, 2001, pursuant to General Instruction E to Form
S-8, the remaining two hundred thirty seven thousand five hundred eighty six (237,586) additional
registered shares of common stock that had not been issued under the 1993 Plan prior to its
expiration were carried forward to, and deemed covered by, a new Registration Statement on Form S-8
(File No. 333-56296) in connection with the 1999 Plan.
We are filing this Registration Statement to register an additional one million six hundred
sixty five thousand (1,665,000) shares of our common stock for issuance under the 1999 Plan (as
amended and restated on May 19, 1999, November 28, 2000, March 30, 2001 and May 17, 2004). The
increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan (from
2,539,009 shares of common stock (reflecting the one-for-five reverse stock split effected on March
30, 2001) to 4,204,009 shares of common stock), as well as certain other amendments to the 1999
Plan that are described in our definitive proxy statement for our 2004 annual meeting of
stockholders, were approved by our stockholders at our 2004 annual meeting of stockholders held on
May 17, 2004. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of Registration
Statement Nos. 333-89565 and 333-56296 are incorporated herein by reference except to the extent
supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein. Only those Items of Form
S-8 containing new information not contained in the earlier registration statements are presented
herein.

Item 4. Description of Securities
The Company's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a corporation, under
specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents and its former
directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation's request, in
such capacities with another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), as well as
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that
they were or are our directors, officers, employees or agents, if such directors, officers,
employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to our best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason
to believe their conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in an
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to
the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly
and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper in light of liability
adjudication. Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully
defended.
The Company's restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL. Section 102 of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
relating to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company's bylaws provide that to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company must
indemnify any of the following persons, including their heirs, executors and personal
representatives, against any and all amounts incurred or imposed in connection with any proceeding,
other than a proceeding initiated by such person:
•
a director, officer or employee of the Company; or
•
a director, officer or employee of the Company who at the specific written
request or resolution of the board of directors of the Company is, at the time of
the proceeding and/or of the alleged events
giving rights to the proceeding, serving as a director, officer or employee of any
other company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise; or
•
a fiduciary or co-fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the Company.
The indemnification provisions contained in the Company's restated certificate of
incorporation, as amended, and bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may
be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. In
addition, the Company may maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and executive officers
insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their capacities as directors or
officers or arising out of their status.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however,
that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration
statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement related to securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in New York, New York, on May 5, 2005.
