Virginia puts telework in the fast lane
| November 20, 2007 |  View for printing |
Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine has established an office to encourage and support the use of teleworking in the private sector and state government. Karen Jackson will direct the Office of Telework Promotion and Broadband Assistance, which Kaine created today by executive order. He signed the order on stage at the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Innovative Technology Symposium here.
Kaine wants to ensure that Virginia does everything it can to extend and take advantage of its broadband networks. The office will “keep the usage of this technology a point of focus for all state offices,” he said. Telework can help reduce traffic in Virginia’s metropolitan areas, but the real focus is economics.
