Commitment to Green
  • For companies to get business done, they have to
    meet with employees, customers, vendors and
    partners who could be across town or on the other
    side of the globe. Traditionally, that means
    traveling by train, plane or automobile. With the
    growing concern of pollution and global warming,
    there is pressure to be environmentally conscious
    and curb the impact of our everyday activities on
    the world.
  • CONSIDER THESE FACTS
  • Increasingly, companies are spending more time on
    the road, which creates more pollution and
    changes the landscape of our planet. Commuting
    distances are increasing as employees move
    farther from the workplace. The U.S. Census
    Bureau reported the following states with the
    longest commutes.
  • Rank State Avg. Travel Time to Work
  • 1 New York 30.8 6 California 26.6
  • 2 Maryland 30.0 7 Georgia 26.5
  • 3 District of Columbia 29 8 West Virginia 25.9
  • 4 New Jersey 28.3 9 Massachusetts 25.8
