The coronavirus pandemic made working from home a more popular concept and a recent report shows that staggering changes in commuter patterns in the D.C. area have led to a new world for drivers.
Nearly 1.5 million employees in the D.C. region are now teleworking on a typical workday, according to a recently released Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments report.
That amounts to 44% of all workers in the D.C. region — a figure five-times higher when compared to 2019, when there were fewer than 300,000 workers teleworking on a typical workday.
