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.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2021) University of Kentucky Transportation Services is now accepting applications for the 2021 Bike Voucher Program. Now in its seventh year, the program offers the first 100 qualified applicants $400 each in vouchers that are valid at any of four participating local bike shops.
“If you’ve been considering commuting to UK on a bike, this program provides a great incentive to formalize that commitment,” said Sandra Broadus, UK Transportation Services’ alternative transportation manager.
The vouchers may be used toward the purchase of a new bike or for bicycle gear and accessories. Participants sign a car-free commitment for two years but may purchase up to 40 additional single-day parking permits per fiscal year if they are needed.
