Whereas giving the most vulnerable people a pass is probably where I'd go. Because I dislike sexism.
Well you're half way to being in the free car park thenOh and for info yes im ...camp
That then becomes a minefield though! Think how many people would be given a pass then complain because they're being classed as vulnerable!
Everyone is vulnerable. The idea that some people are invulnerable to assault is laughable. I'm sure even tough people know that if a small group attacked them (say a gang of three young men), they're at significant risk.
Put people with mobility problems first (as the free car park is nearer) for obvious reasons. And then the rest goes by seniority with people who are hardly ever there being disqualified from consideration.
If the route is so dangerous that vulnerability is even a significant consideration then nobody should be being made to walk it daily.

I know plenty of women who get nervous about walking at night on their own. I don't know any men who feel the same.
Maybe they feel unsafe because we've created a culture of fear for them?
Same with most rapes. What's your point?
Okay, let's try and see both sides - always a good habit. Do you feel differently when walking down the street carrying £500 visibly in your hand? More so than when you're not, at least.
You're nervous because you know there are people out there who want to take that and are not above a little force and intimidation to get it. Probably no-one is going to grab it, but someone might. And the more alone you are, the fewer people around, the more nervous you are that someone will go for it.
Women are almost always in that situation. We are the £500 carried openly in the hand. We always know that there is someone out there who wants something from us. And for most of us those people are larger and physically stronger than us. You can put the £500 in your pocket. And I guess women can wear burqas. But we're already at the limits of the analogy. The aim here, hopefully achieved, is to help you relate to how and why a woman can feel vulnerable alone at night in a way that men often do not. Yes, men are actually more likely to be physically assaulted and no, this isn't an argument in favour of the free parking for women. However, it is possible to understand another's point of view - women are always carrying something valuable to someone. Something women can't, or shouldn't have to, hide.
And I even find your analogy flawed. If I could get £500 without consequence, I would do so without a second thought. I would not rape a woman even if I knew there'd be no consequences.
Pole dancers?
I would imagine pole dancer dress code sends feminismists apoplectic.
The irony being then that the women in this particular company are statistically more likely to be raped by a co-worker, than they are walking to their car.
