However, others disagree.
Luke Moore, 33, commutes into Cardiff city centre every morning by train, and would like to see more money put into public transport.
He refuses to park in Cardiff for work because of the “extortionate” prices – recently paying £20 for two hours.
“I refuse to park in Cardiff because it’s so expensive, I get the train in from outside,” he said.
Even if he had a staff parking space, Moore said he would continue to use the train, and hopes the council uses any extra money to improve public transport.
“It’s easier to commute by train than it is to drive in Cardiff, especially on event days because you can’t get out,” he said.
Living Streets, a charity that promotes walking, said Cardiff was one of the most congested cities in the UK.
Spokesperson Ruth Billingham said a levy could lead to a “greener, more friendly Cardiff”.
“Busy streets, air pollution and a lack of joined-up routes from train stations and bus stops all put people off walking and wheeling more.
“In Nottingham, where a workplace parking levy has been in place since 2012, congestion has fallen.”
She added that fees from the workplace parking levy had been used to double the existing tram network, develop rail networks and create an all-electric park and ride.
“At Living Streets, we believe a workplace parking levy could be part of the solution in Cardiff,” she said.
