COVID-19 is acting as a "real-life experiment" where commuting patterns and work behaviors have shifted dramatically. One of these dramatic shifts is a large increase in the amount of people who are working remotely, or teleworking. In the past, telework have been relatively rare. As a result of COVID-19, many people are experiencing telework in a significant manner. This new experience may permanently shift attitudes towards telework and telework behavior. An online survey will be used to measure potential changes in telework attitudes and behaviors. Respondents are asked to report their telework attitudes and behaviors at two different points in time, prior to COVID-19 and at the time of taking the survey. They are asked to provide a brief employment history, commuting characteristics, and various demographic characteristics to aid analysis. Respondents are also asked to respond to various agree/disagree statements on telework-related subjects.
