The Metropolitan Transportation Commissio approved a rule with an 11:1 vote last Wednesday that requires employers to keep 2050% of their employees at home by 60.This long-term plan aims to improve transportation, housing, the economy and the environment.


  • Effective from the summer of 2021;

  • Employees of large companies work from home at least 3 days a week;

  • The plan will apply to companies with more than 25 employees,

  • Grocery stores or companies that require manual work can be exempted from execution;

  • The original intention of this plan is not because of the new crown virus, but to deal with climate change.


Committee members said this would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 19%, while critics said that retailers, restaurants and public transportation such as Caltrain and BART would be hit hard.
