Walk the Line

What: A credit for leaving your car at home

Where: cove.tool, a collaborative blueprinting software company in Atlanta

The Details: Sandeep Ahuja, the co-founder and CEO of cove.tool, says the company implemented a $50 monthly credit for staffers who walk, bike or take public transit to work as part of its commitment to reducing its overall carbon footprint. She quickly realized that “Atlanta summer weather can be pretty brutal,” and made sure employees can shower at the office. Saurav Subhash, a mechanical researcher, calls the incentive a “kick-start” to his day.
