摘要：The Urban Partnership Agreement is a program initiated by the U.S. Department of Transportation toreduce congestion. Metropolitan areas applied for funding for aggressive congestion managementprograms through 4 T’s: Tolls, Transit, Technology, and Telecommuting, among which telecommutingrequires usually the least amount of infrastructure input. On December 9, 2010, President Obama signedinto law H.R. 1722, the “Telework Enhancement Act of 2010”. This law directed federal agencies todevelop telework policies and support the adoption of teleworking within federal agencies wherepossible. As a major initiative of telecommuting in Minnesota, eWorkPlace worked with 48 employersfrom different industries and over 4,000 of their employees to promote teleworking and flexible workscheduling and to reduce peak period commuting on congested roadways. The eWorkPlace project wasadministered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), with the University ofMinnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs (Humphrey School) managing the program. eWorkPlaceprovided assistance to employers regarding: setting up a telework project, formalizing telework policyand evaluating telework results for individual employers.
