Mary Stasiak of the AATA and I collaborated on an Ann Arbor News Other Voices piece yesterday highlighting some things you can do right now to cut down on commuting costs.

There has been a lot of publicity recently about Oakland County’s decision to go with a 4-day workweek for employees.

It’s an interesting solution to increasing gas prices and is something that many workers seem interested in.

For a job like mine where I am in meetings an/or on the computer most of the day, this could be very doable. I could schedule my meetings for the days I am at work and have more time during my days off to work in the garden.

I think we might see more organizations looking towards a four day workweek as gas prices continue to increase. In Ann Arbor, we have about 90,000 people coming in from outside the City limits each day, some of them traveling as far away as Toledo, Lansing, etc.

I’d love to hear from others if they are considering this kind of idea.
