By removing the artificial incentive for car commuting, other transportation modes are encouraged. But it is not to the company's financial advantage to use this or any other scheme to discourage the number of cars brought to work because the cities force so many parking spaces per floor area, even if the spaces go unused, thus preventing productive use of the land. Furthermore, parking costs are tax deductible, but not transit passes or a parking rebate for non-car users, further skewing the transportation system toward car commuting. Companies are also prevented from using the land productively by low density zoning. Wide streets for car commuters decreases productive land even further.
Property taxes pay for most city-provided automobile transportation expenses.
