Teleworking is a new way of working based upon information and communication technologies which is rapidly replacing the old method of working in the cities. In most developed countries including the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, this new way of working has managed to help reduce the problem of traffic congestion and air pollution due to work related trip generated from private vehicles entering the cities. The rapid growth of residential landuse in urban fringe has caused the CBD area to continue to function as the employment center of the population forcing office workers to generate trips to their offices in the cities. The large movement of private vehicles entering the city centre area contributes to the rapid increase of CO, NOx, HC emissions thus affecting the general health condition of the urban population. In addition, it also increases the traffic congestion in already congested city. In addition, office workers’ need to bear travel related cost such as car park, fuel and maintenance costs. The purposes of this study are firstly to determine that influence trip generation among the workers and secondly to assess the impacts of teleworking in reducing air pollution. Two hypotheses were generated in this study. First, the location of residences in urban fringe will influence the number of trips generated and their tendency to telework. Secondly, their willingness to adopt teleworking will help reduce air pollution through the decrease in work trip. A questionnaire survey was undertaken among 200 private sector offices worker in Johor Bahru CBD area.
