The synthesis will be of special interest and usefulness to planners and administrators of transportation agencies and others concerned with the use of alternative work schedules to relieve peak-period congestion of transportation facilities. Information is presented on implementation of staggered and flexible work hours and compressed workweeks and on the impacts of such measures on highways, transit systems, and ride-sharing programs. A major cause of peak-period congestion of transportation facilities is the relatively short duration of work arrival and departure times. As an alternative to increasing capacity, transportation system management concepts are being used to shift the demand to less congested times and to reduce the need to travels, The report of the Transportation Research Board includes a discussion of approaches such as staggered and flexible work hours and compressed workweeks and an evaluation of the impacts on highway transit facilities, ride-sharing programs, and mode choice. Specific steps are recommended for implementing a program to shift transportation demand to less congested periods.
