Oh Monday! Today was spent at the Medical Towers sitting through orientation. I was running late and all I could see as I walked in the room was coffee! And the orientation leader came to talk to me and I was just going through the motions of talking without even looking up to look at the guy, who was warning me that I needed a lot of coffee to get me through orientation. Little did I know that the guy was my friend Matt (seen in this post, except without the facial hair). It was a pleasant surprise.
Anyways, among all the forms and the pamphlets was two that provided incentives to walk.
First, parking at UAB for employees costs $50 a month (the last time I paid for student parking, it was $100 a year).
Second, was Commute Smart: a program that rewards you for taking cleaner alternatives to work. For the first 90 days that I am in the program, I get $1 for every day that I take a cleaner alternative to work (in my case, if I walk to work), up to $70. After the 90 day period, I will be eligible for a $25 gift card every three months. That's a pretty good incentive! I save on parking and gas, plus get some $ back. I signed up a few minutes ago.
Yes, the summer will be a pain, but we'll deal with that when we get there.
