Telework, or remote work, has gained significant attention as a potential solution to reduce urban transportation congestion and emissions. This synthesis explores the impact of telework on urban transportation systems and emissions, drawing insights from multiple research studies.
Reduction in Traffic Volume and Emissions:
Variability in Emission Reductions:
Energy Consumption and Emissions:
Urban vs. Rural Differences:
Policy Implications:
Telework has the potential to significantly reduce urban transportation congestion and emissions, particularly for pollutants like NO2, CO, and PM10. However, the overall impact on emissions varies depending on several factors, including commuting patterns, energy consumption at home, and the mode of transportation. Urban areas may benefit more from telework in terms of reduced CO2 emissions compared to rural areas. Policymakers should consider these variables to maximize the environmental benefits of telework programs.
