Telecommuting is suggested as one of a series of transportation demand management measures designed to reduce commuting trips. In the process of planning the transportation system for the Tel-Aviv metropolitan area for the year 2020, it became necessary to forecast the extent to which trip tables can be reduced as a consequence of expected levels of telecommuting. In the absence of an appropriate behavioral model to forecast the demand for telecommuting, a simple modeling approach is presented. This model is based on the assumption that, for telecommuting to take place, certain conditions must be met: jobs must be amenable, employers must agree, employees must desire to telecommute, and so on. The simple model assumes the probability that each of these conditions will be satisfied and calculates the number of potential telecommuters and trips eliminated on the basis of the joint probability of the necessary conditions.
