RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — More state government workers could be giving up their commutes under an initiative promoted by Governor Tim Kaine.
Four dozen employees of the Kaine Cabinet and his office already have started to telework or use alternative schedules for part of their work week.
The governor on Wednesday directed all state agencies to consider ways to improve and expand those approaches to avoid rising fuel prices and ease traffic congestion.
At the Department of Taxation, nearly 600 employees telework. The government estimates that saves more than 45,000 gallons of fuel annually.
About 14,000 state workers are on some form of alternate schedule.
The state has approximately 95,000 employees.
