Abstract:

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused massive travel disruptions across the country. Many people nationwide shifted to telework following stay-at-home orders, while those providing essential operations and services continued to travel to work. The pandemic’s impacts on travel behavior have complex environmental and equity implications. Telecommuting can be a means of decreasing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions associated with commuter travel and can reduce congestion during peak times. However, not all jobs can be performed from home. Policymakers and regulators who are considering policies to encourage telecommuting to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals need to consider potential inequities that may arise or be intensified by these policies.
