At Addenbrooke's (Cambridge) parking costs £1 a day for staff who are allowed to park. If you live within 2 miles (I think) you aren't allowed to park at all except at weekends.
Entry to car parks is by ID card.
Multi-storey car park for certain groups including special needs like those dropping children off at on site nursery, consultants, Burger King staff, car pool users and staff on late shifts.
Cambridge has a few park and rides around the city and the parking charges are planned to match the P&R pricing so we can expect parking charges of more than £2 a day within eighteen months or so.
The hospital has set up a shuttle bus to one of the park and rides which starts after nursing shifts in the morning and ends before the end of late shifts in the evening for most places. Not sure of the price for the bus at the moment.
There is another park and ride which is within half an hour's walk but the path is not well lit so female staff would rightly feel unsafe using it in the dark, so that's most of the winter.
I use a moped to get to work (well a 125cc twist and go) and so far they haven't started charging for motorbike parking. Of course they keep changing where we are allowede to park and it seems every time there is a new building project starting up a bit of bike parking gets taken up for contractor's parking, skips or whatever.
I don't work nursing shifts at the moment but I'm still starting work before the public transport system can get me to the hospital so the bike is essential. It's being paid for with an interest free loan from the hospital available for bikes smaller than 250cc whoch is an attempt to boost powered two wheeler use and reduce car use for journeys to work, but then they mess around with the parking areas. I love joined up thinking.
