  Remote work has expanded dramatically since 2020, upending longstanding
travel patterns and behavior. More fundamentally, the flexibility for remote
workers to choose when and where to work has created much stronger connections
between travel behavior and organizational behavior. This paper uses a large
and comprehensive monthly longitudinal survey over nearly three years to
identify new trends in work location choice, mode choice and departure time of
remote workers. The travel behavior of remote workers is found to be highly
associated with employer characteristics, task characteristics, employer remote
work policies, coordination between colleagues and attitudes towards remote
work. Approximately one third of all remote work hours are shown to take place
outside of the home, accounting for over one third of all commuting trips.
These commutes to "third places" are shorter, less likely to occur during peak
periods, and more likely to use sustainable travel modes than commutes to an
employer's primary workplace. Hybrid work arrangements are also associated with
a greater number of non-work trips than fully remote and fully in-person
arrangements. Implications of this research for policy makers, shared mobility
provides and land use planning are discussed.
