Abraham Harrison LLC, where I work, is promoting not only a cutting-edge work environment, but an environmentally-friendly work place as well. The simple fact is that the workers at AHLLC are not commuting every day. To understand the savings afforded by thousands of people working from their homes, you need to first understand the reduction in commute time. Consider this:
- The average one-way commute distance per trip is approximately 19.5 miles (or 39 miles round trip)
- The average number of round trip commutes of about 1000 workers per year, assuming 50 work weeks, is 250.
- By eliminating the need for say 1,000 people to commute, there is an actual reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) of 9,750,000 miles. In other words, almost 10 million miles not traveled.
