hen businesses increase traffic, the surrounding W community can get cranky. To avoid this, some companies are making other options available to employees, by encouraging carpool- ing, vanpooling, use of public trans- portation and biking to work; offer- ing alternative or staggered work schedules; videoconferencing and telecommuting. These approaches cut down on traffic jams, reduce wear and tear on cars and roads, and decrease the likelihood of accidents. In addition, they reduce gasoline use and air pollution. To top it off, they save workers time and money in a tight economy.
