The Work Wise UK campaign, to encourage wide spread adoption of flexible, mobile, remote and home working, has gained the support of The RAC Foundation.

The RAC Foundation says it supports the five-year campaign because it believes any change in working patterns which reduces the need to travel or staggers the time when travel occurs, will have an effect in reducing congestion on the country’s congested roads.

It predicts that adoption of smarter working practices could cut congestion by up to 10% within five years, and save the economy £1.9bn.

The campaign has won support from businesses, unions and Government.
