Shocking! $1 per mile up to $200 isn’t even two weeks of my relatively easy commute too and from work. My employer pays us $5 a day for commuting by bike, feet or motorcycle.

My employer pays us $2 usd a day. Taxes take back 75 cents though…

Heck, id do it for free – #1 thing to increase biking is a locker room. Other people will shower there too

Children’s Hospital in LA pays their full time employees $120/month to walk/bike/transit w/a centrally located secure badge entry bike parking.
Seriously, all hospitals and large companies should have an active mobility commuting program- promote/support active (physical exercise!) transportation, reduce congestion/air and micro plastic pollution (healthy environment, safe streets) which allows them to save money in multiple ways.

It especially makes sense given that people are already paid to drive to work in the form of free (subsidized) parking, whose benefits can actually be claimed tax-free in the US.

In Germany I got big tax breaks for commuting on a bike, actually proportional to the km. It was great. Not that I would have commuted other way with out it but I am it would help a lot of people make the change.

>Of the three groups, those paid $1 per mile ended up biking the most number of miles.
This seems unsurprising.
I would be more interesting in knowning which group completed the most commutes/replaced the most automobile commute miles.
