Does the institution allow commuters to cash out of parking spaces (i.e., it pays employees who do not drive to work)?:
A brief description of the program:
Faculty and staff currently pay for their parking spaces. If they opt out of parking, they do not have a parking deduction taken out of their pay.
This concept is currently under consideration. The Appalachian State University Master Plan 2020 includes, in the section on Parking, under Additional Considerations, "Offer parking fee incentives for carpools and vanpools, biking, walking, and transit, such as paying a monthly transportation rebate for staff and faculty who don’t purchase a parking pass or who use a rideshare parking space. This can be coupled with a “guaranteed ride home” program for those who receive the rebate."
