During the fifteen-month demonstration project, nearly five hundred non-exempt employees at thirty Key Bank of Washington branches in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties were given the opportunity to enroll in a proximate commuting demonstration program and be considered for voluntary reassignment to branches closer to their homes. Highlights of the project results are as follows: Results at Test Sites: 65% Reduction in commute miles traveled for 'Proximate Commuters' (participants who transferred to a shorter-commute site); 33% Reduction in the longest commute per branch; 17% Reduction in overall average commute distance per branch; 17% Enrollment rate - 1 out of 6 eligible. Observations at Control Sites: 36% Increase in longest commute per branch; 26% Increase in average commute distance per branch.
