In Connecticut, a program called TelecommuteConnecticut is making headway in fulfilling its mission to “promote the viability of telecommuting as a flexible work option which reduces the number of employee work trips and therefore decreases traffic congestion, energy consumption and air pollution”, as research from a number of sources confirms that telecommuting is indeed a practicable alternative for many workers, particularly those residing in large- to mid-size urban centers with substantial road congestion and widely available internet access.  TelecommuteConnecticut provides free consultation services (subsidized by the state) to help Connecticut-based companies develop, implement, and manage telecommuting programs.
