Tired
of getting stuck in traffic on your morning and evening commutes to and from
work? Here are some quick tips that can
help.
Map out an alternative route – Take side streets. Try different routes on days you can afford
to be late. Avoid the highways if
possible.
Play with your timing – If there is no way around
avoiding traffic, try to see if you can move your schedule around. Go in and leave an hour later if you can,
this can significantly reduce the amount of time spent in your car.
Work from home – If this is feasible, try asking your
boss if you can work from home at least a couple times a week.
Check local traffic reports – Do this before you leave,
you can also continue to listen on the radio while you’re driving. You can also use a GPS for live traffic
updates during your commute. This can
help find the fastest route for that particular time of the day.
Carpool – Having access to the carpool lane by driving
with a passenger can greatly reduce your travel time.
