Employees and employers can come to an agreement to grant a 7000 ISK monthly tax credit to those who forego taking their car to work.
Hjólafærni, as organisation of cyclists in Iceland, notes on their website that businesses can offer transportation contracts to their employees as a means of promoting the use of busses, cycling or walking for their daily commute.
