      Impact of Teleworking and Teleconferencing on Transport Policy

      5th October 2007, London

      New working practices enabled by development in ICT are changing travel patterns in ways which have the potential to affect transport congestion, carbon emissions and social inclusion. These developments could also significantly affect the assumptions about the nature and extent of travel growth Government makes in transport models and appraisal. Two linked practices of this type are teleworking and teleconferencing.

      This seminar will examine the likely impacts that future trends in teleworking and teleconferencing will have and assess the case for Government to intervene in this area to incentivise groups and individuals to telework or teleconference.
