Routine Report Assignment

Scenario:

Your company is the largest private employer in your metropolitan area, and the 43,500

employees in your workforce have a tremendous impact on local traffic. A group of city and

county transportation officials recently approached your CEO with a request to explore

ways to reduce this impact. The CEO, Ms. Suarez, has assigned you the task of analyzing

the workforce's transportation habits and attitudes as a first step towards identifying

potential solutions. She is willing to consider anything from subsidized bus passes to

company-owned shuttle buses to telecommuting, but the decision requires a thorough

understanding of employee transportation needs. Figures 1–4 summarize data you have

collected in an employee survey.
