istock/Getty Images Plus. LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 26, 2021) — University of Kentucky Transportation Services is now accepting applications for its Cash Out program. Now in its fifth year, Cash Out financially rewards employees who choose to forego a parking permit for one year. The program is limited to the first 100 qualified applicants. Cash Out provides participants with $200 over a one-year period, evenly divided across paychecks. It’s designed for employees who are interested in alternative modes of transportation, such as riding the bus, bicycling, carpooling or walking to campus. “Cash Out provides a tangible benefit for employees who choose a car-free mode of transportation,” said Sandra Broadus, Transportation Services’ alternative transportation manager. “Its goal is to support healthy behaviors while also decreasing the number of motor vehicles on campus.”
