5. Environmental Benefits “President Obama and the U.S. Congress deserve high praise” The Telework Coalition (TelCoa), a Washington, D.C.-based telework information organization, supports the new laws to reduce vehicle travel but wants it followed up with federal incentives to encourage more businesses to adopt telework that would light up the expanded broadband network and put more traffic onto the existing and wide open existing virtual highways. “Broadband telecommunications and on-line educational programs are most effective when there is a telework job available at the home end of the line,” says TelCoa President and CEO Chuck Wilsker. “With broadband and telework , we no longer need to apply physical transportation ‘solutions’ to address economic/employment, energy, or environmental issues. Mainstreaming comprehensive telework opportunities is the quickest, most effective means to provide employment opportunities to a great number of people without forcing them to daily leave their communities.” http://www.telcoa.org/
