More telework could mean a smoother ride

Re: “Year of the pothole,” March 30
Maybe it’s just my imagination, but the potholes in our town seem bigger every year. The traffic seems worse, too and even the lineups for buses are longer. As we are unlikely to get light rail anytime soon, we must find other ways of reducing traffic chaos.
One option is to encourage telework in government departments. Even if commuters telework one day a week, we’ll get 20 per cent fewer vehicles on the road — the difference between chaos and orderly traffic flow.
Well said. Steve
