eCommute Roundtable Information

As a part of the eCommute program, a federally funded pilot in five cities with

severe traffic congestion and air quality issues, a series of Executive

level off the record Telework Roundtables were held.

Their objectives were for organizations that have employees who telework to

meet to gather and share information about what works, what doesn't, what

contributed to successes, best practices, the barriers to telework and how

they were and are dealt with, and suggestions that will lead to more workers

teleworking.

The results of these discussions will be included in a report to Congress this

fall and help shape future regulatory policy.
