Abstract:Working from home is on the rise largely due to advances in information and communication technology (e.g., faster Internet speed, online meeting software, and remotely accessed and/or cloud-based servers). According to the American Community Survey, the proportion of people who reported “working from home last week” increased from 4.3% in 2009 to 5.0% in 2016. Changing trends in home-based working are of interest to transportation planners, as working from home helps mitigate high-traffic volumes and congestion experienced during peak travel periods (e.g., rush hour). This brief explores these trends, particularly the percentage of homebased workers reported over the past two decades by the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) series as well as changes in select demographic characteristics of those home-based workers.
