  • Description: Several findings from a technology assessment of the interactions between telecommunications and travel demand are reviewed. The study evaluated scenarios dealing with teleconferencing substitutes for business travel and decentralization of office activities to satellite centers, neighborhood centers, and work at home. The following findings emerged. Neighborhood centers and work at home scenarios could reduce commuting drastically. Moderate reductions may be possible by more optimum location of office activities in urban areas. Office decentralization from major central business districts could reduce the need for expensive new rapid rail transit or drastically cut revenues on existing systems. The decentralization scenarios all promise significant savings in the cost of supplying new urban transportation capacity when such capacity is not already available. Finally, “telework” could greatly increase residential location choice.
