Don't travel in the dark, commute smart
This year's National Commute Smart Week will run from Sunday, 8th November, until Saturday, 14th November. With British Summer Time ending on Sunday, 25th October, this years Commute Smart Week will highlight a number of ways of avoiding the misery of travelling to and from work in the dark, and the depression and despondency that many experience as a result, by working and commuting smarter. Flexible working times (including flexitime, condensed hours and nine day fortnights), staggered journeys and part home working, reduce the overall need to commute, and allow flexibility when people commute, allowing them to avoid peak times. Trying alternative ways of commuting, such as cycling or walking, can also help reduce congestion and public transport over-crowding, and at the same time significantly improve health and wellbeing. The knock-on effect of reducing overall traffic congestion and public transport overcrowding by extending the rush hour and reducing peak demand through smarter working and commuting will make the daily commute more bearable for those workers that have no choice when and how to travel. National Commute Smart Week this year will have five themes, one for each week day:
A number of spokespersons will be available from both Work Wise UK and from organisations which successfully practice smarter working, both national and regional. Work Wise UK will be publishing a series of tips and guidance on working smarter, which will be circulated to the media and uploaded on the Work Wise website prior to Commute Smart Week.
