Nowadays, more people are moving away from cities for more affordableand comfortable lifestyles in the countryside, resulting in long distance

commuting to their work in the cities. Unfortunately, this leads to moretraffic congestion and pollution to the environment. I believe measuressuch as promoting telecommuting and establishing remote offices willreduce the number of long distance commuters and therefore theirimpact on the environment.

The first measure would incentivizecity-based companies to promoteand mandate telecommuting within their workforce. y providingsubsidiesor ta! breaks to companies that have a certain percentage oftheir employees work from home via internet and phone connection,more companies would actively facilitate telecommuting. "or e!ample,there could be a rotating schedule so that every day the numberscommuting to the office stay at a specified low number.

#nother similar measure would be to build small government-fundedremote office hubs or telecommuting centers in suburbs outside ma$orcities. y leasing these out to corporations based in the nearby city, the

government can facilitateand further promote telecommuting. %hat&smore, employees in even further rural areas can commute to theoutlying remote office centers, thereby reducing their commutesignificantly. y having the option of leasing remote work space, whichcould also save on e!pensive city office space, private companies wouldbe more likely to promote telecommuting.

In short, I believe that measures such as providing monetaryincentivesand building affordable remote office space available to city-basedcompanies will make telecommuting more viable. This is key to reducingtraffic and its impact on the environment.
