Abstract: The change in employee travel choices at a company in Los Angeles that ended employer-paid parking for solo drivers who do not use their cars at work is documented. The modal split among affected employees changed in the following ways: solo driving fell from 42 to 8 percent, carpooling rose from 17 to 58 percent; and bus ridership declined from 38 to 28 percent. There was no change in the modal split at a nearby comparison company that continued to offer free parking to all employees. It is concluded that ending employer-paid parking for solo drivers significantly influenced employees' modal choices.
