The paper presents new results on the behavioral responses to flexitime, which is a system of flexible working hours under which workers are permitted to select their daily schedules within certain predefined limits. Flexitime has been implemented by an increasing number of firms and institutions in Europe and the United States, and is of particular interest as a transportation systems management strategy with potentially significant impacts on work schedules, travel behavior, traffic congestion, and energy consumption. This study is based on a flexitime experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Transportation's Transportation Systems Center (TSC) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. TSC is a large government facility which employs more than 600 persons and is located in a dense and congested area of the Boston region, but which has high accessibility by all modes of urban transport. This study was designed to permit a rigorous assessment of individuals' activity and travel responses and their implications for transport planning.
