A little bit goes a long way when it comes to relieving downtown traffic headaches.
The city will be working with employers to come up with ways to combat rush hour congestion.
Alderman Richard Pootmans tells The Calgary Sun if they can get a five to 10 per cent reduction of cars headed downtown during peak hours, that could be enough to ease gridlock.
The city will be encouraging Calgary employers to adopt and promote “flexible work option” among businesses and reduce the frequency of trips and work-related travel.
