Using Telework to Reduce Trips

Prepared for the Great Valley Center
by Seth Fearey, President, Connected Communities


"If 10% of the nation's workforce telecommuted one day a week, we would avoid the frustration of driving 24.4 million miles, we'd breathe air with 12,963 tons less air pollution and we'd conserve more than 1.2 million gallons of fuel each week." - Carol Browner, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency


The Great Valley Center, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and Operation Clean Air collaborated on a series of three seminars on why your organization should have a telework program and how to get it started.
