In many larger urban areas, there are actually laws that require larger employers to encourage their employees to use alternative forms of transportation. I know that such a law exists here in Seattle, and I believe it exists in other places as well. The companies generally get some sort of a tax break if they have more than a certain percentage of their employees using alternative forms. That break goes up as more employees participate.
