| The Telecommuting
2000 Project web pages have been updated to reflect
recent developments. The project
draws together research on the costs of
congestion and commuting, looking at:
- the costs to business
- the costs to individuals
- the costs to health
- the costs to the
environment
- the contribution new ways
of working can make to traffic reduction.
Telecommuting
2000 then makes recommendations to Government,
employers and individuals about how they can take
advantage of the benefits.
The
aim of these web pages is
- to put the summary of the
project report online
- to take the project
further by adding additional information
as it develops, and
- to stimulate discussion
and new thinking through a forum where
the key issues can be debated.
A
free brochure containing a summary of the main
report, and the main report itself, are available
in printed format.

| Telecommuting
2000 is a research project supported by
Symantec and Mitel, and conducted by HOP Associates. As the
Government publishes new policies for
transport, Telecommuting 2000 advances
the arguments for a new approach to
travel and work, focusing on the role of
transport in an Information Society. Telecommuting
2000 recognises technology's potential
for radical change and its ability to
offer benefits to organisations,
individuals and society.
In an Information
Society a growing proportion of work can
be done anywhere. Telecommuting 2000 puts
new ways of working alongside traditional
travel modes and highlights the benefits
that telecommuting offers
businesses, the environment, citizens and
society.
