Mobilityways Commuter Census survey reveals 26.2% of workers plan to remain working from home post-pandemic, whereas only 4.4% were WFH pre-COVID
UK firms can look forward to a green dividend, as over a quarter (26%) of their staff look set to remain working from home post-pandemic, if companies allow staff who express the desire to remain working from home are allowed to do so.
This green dividend amounts to a substantial reduction in CO2e emissions, equivalent to 4.5m commuters switching from Diesel to Electric Vehicles or 1.7m homes converting to zero emission heating before the end of this year.
This finding comes out of a Commuter Census survey which the zero carbon commuting specialist Mobilityways circulated to some 350,000 of its free mobile app users earlier this month.
ACEL benchmarks Commuter Emissions for first time
Mobilityways provides a service which is able to calculate the Average Commuter Emissions Level (ACEL) of workforces by collecting real-time ‘travel to work’ data from workers via its mobile app. It can then help employers to stimulate staff to explore greener commuter options such as car sharing, walking, cycling, or using public transport. As staff make new choices, Mobilityways is then able to report on ACEL improvements to sustainability chiefs to support their Scope 3 audits.
Mobilityways uses existing government emissions averages for different modes of transport published by Defra and multiplies these by the number of employees using each mode of transport and by the DfT’s up-to-date average commute distance figures, to create its ACEL score which can then be benchmarked against ACEL averages by sector. Mobilityways then works with those responsible to work out a plan for reducing commute emissions to ensure declared corporate Net Zero targets can be met.
Public transport usage set to drop by over a third
Mobilityways’ census also uncovered implications for public transport bodies as demand for public transport is set to fall by 36.5%. Before the pandemic 17% of workers used public transport for the longest part of their commute to work but post-pandemic only 10.8% said they would return to public transport for their longest part of their journey to and from the office.
Strong appetite for sustainable commuting
More encouragingly for companies trying to persuade their workers to choose greener commute alternatives, over a third (35.2%) are prepared to explore commuting ‘in a more sustainable way’ and 28.6% claim to already be sustainable commuters.
Reinforcing the interest in sustainable commuting, 37% are considering a switch to an electric vehicle, with 30.3% open to walking or running to work and 41.6% to cycling to the office. 71.1% would share a car as part of their commute, either as a driver or passenger.
EV adoption intentions strong
Good news too for car manufacturers bringing new Electric Vehicle (EV) models to market this year, and local authorities approving the creation of more EV charging stations, as 37.4% of consumers are already considering a switch to an EV and 5.2% claim to already have access to one, the Mobilityways study found.
Cycling and walking investment not delivering yet
Less encouragingly, only 6.6% planned to commute on foot or bicycle post-pandemic, down from 10.7% pre-pandemic. And a quarter (25%) feel that there aren’t any sustainable options for their trip to work, again pointing to a need for wider change. That’s despite a £250 million investment by government over the last year in cycling and walking infrastructure.
Businesses need to prepare now for the future of commuting – and to make it easier for their staff to embrace more sustainable options, according to the founder of Mobilityways, Ali Clabburn:
“While more staff want to work from home for at least some of the week, the majority will still be commuting at least a day or two a week. The encouraging news is that post-lockdown, commuters want to be more sustainable, provided that they don’t sacrifice time and convenience while doing so. This is where forward-looking businesses can step in – providing help and reducing their own carbon footprint at the same time.”
Scope 3 reporting gaining ground
Scope 3 emissions reporting requires collection of businesses’ overall Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions impacts from activities outside their places of work – including from their employees’ commutes to the office. The Scope 3 Standard is the only internationally-accepted method for companies to account for these types of value chain emissions.
Reducing GHG emissions and increasing sustainability is becoming a key business imperative as the UK aims to meet its challenging Net Zero Carbon emissions target by 2050. As part of this the UK Government has just announced that it is bringing forward the target of reducing GHG emissions by 78% (from 1990 levels) to 2035.
“The pandemic has forced everyone to rethink how they live and work and this will dramatically reshape commuting. Coupled with tightening emissions regulations, the end of lockdown provides a clear opportunity to make commuting greener and more sustainable – benefiting the environment, individuals and businesses alike,” added Clabburn.

RE/MAX Alliance Group now has 13 offices in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties.
R.Travis, P. Crowley and the Gallaghers
SARASOTA, Fla. – April 28, 2021 – PRLog — A year after announcing an agreement to share services and office access, RE/MAX Alliance Group and RE/MAX Advantage Realty have reached a decision to merge.
More than 50 agents in RE/MAX Advantage Realty’s two offices in Trinity and Spring Hill have become part of the RE/MAX Alliance Group family, for a total of about 400 associates and staff and a combined 2020 production of almost $2 billion in sales volume and more than 5,000 transactions. RE/MAX Alliance Group now has 13 offices in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties.
The announcement was made in in a presentation to associates on Wednesday, April 28, at Flamestone American Grill in Trinity, Florida.
“We are excited to merge with RE/MAX Alliance Group after entering into a shared services agreement last year,” said Rachel Gallagher, owner of RE/MAX Advantage Realty with her husband, Patrick. “We have seen firsthand how working together has helped our real estate professionals grow, take their business to the next level and help more clients. Our mission has always been and always will be to support our associates with the vital tools they need to succeed.”
“We’re extremely happy to merge with RE/MAX Advantage Realty and welcome them to the Alliance Group family,” said RE/MAX Alliance Group Broker and Co-owner Peter Crowley. “We continue to leverage each other’s strengths to increase our competitive edge in a rapidly growing market.”
As part of the deal, RE/MAX Alliance Group has merged with Capital Title Solutions, formed by Rachel and longtime friend Justin Kelly, owner of CPF Mortgage.
The Gallaghers acquired the Trinity office, the original RE/MAX office in Pasco County, in 2016. At that time there were only 12 agents including Rachel, many of them part-time. RE/MAX Advantage Realty is now the #1 real estate office in Pasco County for overall volume and market share. They acquired the Spring Hill office in January 2020.
Rachel and Patrick’s relationship with RE/MAX Alliance Group started more than seven years ago on a plane to the RE/MAX R4 convention in Las Vegas, where they met Peter Crowley and Ron Travis, owners of RE/MAX Alliance Group, and managing broker David Clapp. After returning, Rachel was connected with Ron’s daughter Christy Travis Hey for real estate coaching. They kept bumping into Alliance Group team members at subsequent conferences, sitting together at various forums and meetings.
In early 2020, the two companies established a relationship to share services, giving RE/MAX Advantage Realty agents access to RE/MAX Alliance Group’s fulltime marketing team, training, in-house legal counsel, IT, business management and additional broker support. In return, RE/MAX Advantage Realty provided RE/MAX Alliance Group’s Tarpon Springs office with additional management, training and local support. The agreement combined RE/MAX Alliance Group’s substantial operational experience with RE/MAX Advantage Realty’s strong presence and local market knowledge.
“The agents really enjoyed the added services,” Rachel said. “Together we are stronger and will be able to have even more services available for our associates and their customers. Even though they are in business for themselves, they are not in business by themselves.”
RE/MAX Alliance Group, based in Sarasota, is the #1 RE/MAX in Florida and the #2 RE/MAX in the Southeast. After serving three counties from Manatee to Charlotte, the brokerage expanded into Hillsborough and Pinellas in 2019 with its merger with RE/MAX Bay to Bay.
