Strategies to reduce peaking in urban transportation through work rescheduling are a promising element of Transportation System Management (TSM). To date most discussions of work-schedule management have focused on work staggering and the four-day week. This report explores the merit of flexible or variable work hours as a traffic management strategy. It concludes that flextime is compatible with programs that seek to increase bus ridership and carpooling. Flextime also appears promising as a strategy of congestion relief. These conclusions are based on a survey of almost 500 employees of a California State agency which recently adopted flexible work hours. The report also offers an analysis of the peaking characteristics of travel to and from the San Francisco Central Business District.
