Options to clean up air studied By Bob Driehaus (Cincinnati Post, August 19, 2004)

'Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky must cut air pollution by an estimated 15 percent by 2008 to comply with more stringent federal rules, according to Ohio officials grappling with the problem in conjunction with a consortium of regional leaders. '

21 different solutions are being considered to address the problem, including:

'Reducing commuter traffic by encouraging telecommuting and shortening work weeks to four, 10-hour workdays'

It's an interesting idea to give employees a choice between compressed work schedules and telework. Either option takes a car off the road one day a week, but the combination means that ruch hour can be distributed that much more.
