Subject: Compressed Work Schedules/Teleworking
Comment:
A very quick and relatively simple way to achieve early results is to require all government offices (including local government, special districts, etc.) to modify work schedules to 4/10 days. This has been done by a number of agencies and has been required of State Agencies by the Governor of Utah. It saves fuel costs for employees and energy costs for employers. Also, agressively pursuing teleworking options for employees where possible should be encouraged and perhaps incentivized. I have observed (with long experience in government) that the primary barriers to greatly expanded teleworking for employees is a social/societal/management barrier rather than a technological one. Even moderatly-increased teleworking could reap large benefits in fuel and emissions savings.
