L'indemnité de stationnement vide de sa substance la rivalité entre le centre-ville et la périphérie, en transformant la prise en charge financière des frais de stationnement qui alimente cette rivalité en subventions octroyées aux frais de déplacement. Les navetteurs du centre-ville sont bien placés pour tirer avantage des possibilités de conversion du paiement du stationnement par l'employeur en indemnité en espèces. Ils peuvent en effet prendre l'argent et emprunter les transports en commun, parce que le centre-ville est en règle générale bien desservi par ces transports en commun, ou prendre l'argent et se convertir au covoiturage, parce que la densité de l'emploi dans le centre-ville multiplie le nombre d'adeptes potentiels de ce mode de déplacement. 3, record 2, French, - indemnit%C3%A9%20de%20stationnement
