Commuting, Police, Potholes, and Development
1. Commuter Connections Promotes Telework Workshops Commuter Connections is promoting three workshops designed to help employers maximize and manage their telework programs. Teleworking, also known as telecommuting, means using information technology and telecommunications to replace work-related travel. Each workshop is interactive and packed with facts, tools, and enlightening discussion targeted to today's business needs and challenges. Participate in problem-solving dialogues; explore case studies and business scenarios; work with useful templates and guidelines that can streamline and accelerate your organization's telework program. Learn solutions and best practices for telework from the experts and share insights with colleagues who are facing similar challenges. Commuter Connections is a regional network of transportation organizations coordinated by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. If you live or work in the Metropolitan Washington DC area, Commuter Connections can provide you with information on all your commute options, so you can make a smart choice about how you travel to work. Commuter Connections also helps employers establish commuting benefits and assistance programs, including telework/telecommute programs, for their employees. Read the about the free workshops for workshop descriptions, upcoming dates and in order to register online. For questions, contact Commuter Connections at (800) 745-7433 or by email.

2. Metropolitan Police Reminds Constituents About Listserv Groups The Metropolitan Police Department is continuing to promote online community listserv groups for each of its districts. The listservs were established as online dialogues to address nuisance issues and crime concerns. The community groups are created using Yahoo! Groups. Once the web pages are established, members join by visiting the web page or by sending a blank email to a designated address to subscribe. From that point on, all messages posted to the site are sent to the members' designated email addresses. Users can also opt out of receiving messages, and opt, instead, to visit the web page to read all posted messages. Additionally, they can choose to receive a daily digest, which is composed of all the day's messages in one email, at the end of each day. Read more information or sign up for a listserv. Visit MPD.
