It sucks to read, but I hope you go ahead and accommodate your employer's concerns at least until you find another job or work out some other solution if possible, probably a compromise, over friendly, professional discussion in the future.
You're not really safer in a car. It's a piece of cake to stop a car in traffic, and then you can't escape. What would be much safer is to have *2* people in the car, one for the driving, and the other one for taking care of the money.

I've done that over the last 2 years - enjoy free parking @work ! Now, it might be difficult if the family only has one car (there *are* families with a single car in the US, right ?)
