This article applies an econometric model to investigate the determinants of telecommuting choices in the context of commute mode choices, based on a survey dataset from the City of Edmonton, Canada. Our results indicate that attributes of different commuting modes have different cross elastic effects on the attitude toward telecommuting. However, the magnitudes of cross elasticity are very low. Time of start of work plays a major role in considering telecommuting as a feasible choice. Moreover, it is clear that complementary Travel Demand Management (TDM) policies are necessary to encourage a positive attitude towards telecommuting.
