Telecommuting Task Force Committee

About Us Committee Leaders Upcoming Events

Mission Statement

The NVTC Telecommuting Task Force promotes the adoption of telecommuting, which provides embedded operational continuity, while increasing productivity and reducing both overhead costs and labor turnover.

Additionally, telecommuting provides employees with both a better balance between their work and personal lives, while significantly reducing their carbon footprints and so improving regional air quality.

Task force members both offer the products and services that make telecommuting possible or want to start a program, scale up a program or learn/exchange best practices.

About Us

Due to the complexities of transportation and telework issues and the focus of NVTC, the Telecommuting Task Force decided to limit its emphasis to certain areas where NVTC members might have particular interest or expertise. The areas for study, information, participation and support are:

  • Exploration in the telework area to educate NVTC members about the benefits of telework and to develop legislative positions that would reduce legal and financial obstacles to telecommuting.
  • Education of NVTC members on the potential opportunities to improve transportation and telework efficiencies through "Intelligent Transportation and Telework Systems" (ITTS).
  • Providing a forum for the development of a comprehensive NVTC position on various transportation and telework proposals made by state and local government, citizens groups, and other organizations and for taking positions on legislative and funding proposals affecting transportation.
  • Strongly supporting the designation of right of way for and construction of the "Techway," a limited access road that would connect Maryland and Virginia.
  • Providing educational opportunities for NVTC members on transportation and telework and telework issues, and to respond to questions and positions by NVTC members on transportation and telework issues.
  • Providing an on-line service which lets NVTC members track the vehicle miles not driven because of their telecommuting and other travel avoidance programs, and that will provide reports showing the extent of their carbon footprint reduction and their program's contribution to corporate resiliency through having a distributed work capability in case of disaster.
