I'm an employee at a company in Santa Monica, and paying for parking is a major issue every time we come into the office. It's discouraging me and others from coming in, even with our flexible hybrid schedule. I'm curious, what are your employers doing to help with parking costs? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Employers need to pay for parking. It’s their responsibility.

I've worked at 6 different companies in 10 years in LA and every single one of them provided free parking. I do not know how they could justify not doing so in this town.

You can use a transit fsa for things like parking, takes some of the cost out of it.

I had an employer on the west side that had their own parking structure and another that paid for parking or public transit. Can you bring it up to HR?

I use spothero in downtown to make sure I’m not paying full price
