Citations in the corpus
- Telecommuting and sustainable travel: Reduction of overall travel time, increases in non-motorised travel and congestion relief? (2018, background): “A recent analysis of the National Household Transportation Survey (NHTS) of 2001 and 2009 concluded that telecommuting had a complementary effect on both workers’ one-way commute trips and total non-work trips (Zhu, 2012).”
- Telecommuting, Household Commute and Location Choice (2013, background): “Although telecommuting can reduce the frequency of commuting trips, workers are ‘footloose’ and they could choose to live further away from jobs if provided with the telecommuting option (Zhu, 2012).”
- Does working from home reduce CO2 emissions? An analysis of travel patterns as dictated by workplaces (2020, background): “Findings suggest that while telework may reduce travel costs and time, the time saved on commuting may be used to engage in other activities and be converted into additional personal non-work trips or longer trips (Mokhtarian, 2009; Zhu, 2012; Zhu and Mason, 2014).”
- How Effective Is Telecommuting? Assessing the Status of Our Scientific Findings (2015, background): “Zhu (2012) found, after holding multiple factors constant, that telecommuters consistently had longer and more frequent daily total nonwork trips than did nontelecommuters, although the differences between the two groups diminished slightly over the 8-year period of the study.”
- A systematic review of the energy and climate impacts of teleworking (2020, methodology): “Indeed, in some circumstances teleworking could encourage changes in behaviour that increase work and/or non-work travel, and thereby energy consumption (Pérez et al. 2004; Williams 2011; Zhu 2012).”
