I came here to tell this exact tale. Our stories were so similar I checked your profile: we work in the exactly same office. I have to say our employer’s strategy worked. I lived 3 miles away (typically a 13 min bike ride for me plus probably 15 min of parking/showering), but I still almost always drove. To fix my commute I just moved, and my life is a lot nicer with this newfound 10min walking commute. Even with the new fee ($12 to park vs $7 of benefit), I would still drive before I moved. I have after work hobbies that require me to drive. Biking 45min in the rain/dark to the climbing gym would have just killed that for me. A lot of people were quite angry about the new system. But I think that it was necessary to fix the parking constraints we were running into (frequent stock outs for parking at like 9am). I have a “there is no free lunch” view for commuting policy.
