English
Using GPS tracking of 294 employees in Southern Switzerland, this study shows teleworking reduces daily travel distance by 55% and CO2 emissions by 47%, primarily by substituting car-based commuting. No compensation effect from additional trips. Spatial context and time constraints moderate impacts.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Teleworking is widely promoted to reduce transport emissions and support climate goals, yet its real-world effectiveness remains uncertain. We combine high-resolution GPS tracking, georeferenced data, app-based daily diaries, and mode-specific life-cycle emission inventories to quantify the mobility and carbon impacts of teleworking. In Spring 2024, we monitored 294 employees in Southern Switzerland over 30 consecutive workdays. A within-subject counterfactual design shows that teleworking reduces daily travel distance by 55% and CO 2 emissions by 47%, primarily through substitution of car-based commuting. Additional non-commuting trips do not meaningfully offset these benefits, indicating no compensation effect. Reductions are larger for long or car-dependent commutes and smaller in transit-rich areas, highlighting the role of spatial context. Social and institutional time constraints, such as childcare and school schedules, affect teleworking impacts by inducing compensatory mobility behaviors. Seasonal and weather conditions further moderate the effects, with warmer days encouraging some additional non-commuting trips. Substitution dominates, and teleworking delivers substantial carbon savings. Our findings provide actionable insights for hybrid work policies, urban sustainability, and decarbonization strategies.
