I don't have a better suggestion off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist.

I question the effectiveness of using financial penalties to facilitate behavioral change.

Lets take traffic fines for example. They keep ratcheting up fines for not wearing seatbelts, yet it hasn't changed my habit of not wearing one when booting around town.
