Minnesota Urban Partnership Agreement. National Evaluation: Telecommuting Test Plan

摘要

This report presents the telecommuting test plan for the Minnesota Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) under the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) UPA Program. The Minnesota UPA projects focus on reducing congestion by employing strategies consisting of combinations of tolling, transit, telecommuting/TDM, and technology, also known as the 4 Ts. The test plan builds on the Minnesota UPA National Evaluation Plan. This test plan identifies the data needed to analyze the telecommuting hypotheses and questions. The data sources and the data available are discussed and the potential risks associated with telecommuting data collection and analysis activities are discussed. The methods for analyzing the telecommuting data are presented, along with the schedule and responsibilities.
