To reduce air pollution and traffic congestion, California legislators passed an innovative law in 1992 to encourage solo commuters to get out of their cars and bike, carpool or take public transit to work.
Participants soon found that the law was easy to implement and that they could cut the expense of leasing space or lots for parking. Workers who chose to give up their spaces liked the cash payments — up to $150 to $200 a month in some cases. What money was left over after transit passes or carpooling expenses, they could pocket. http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-california-commute-20150113-story.html
