Commute Management is the discipline of taking control of the drive to and from work, school, or any other repeat location so that the traveler can reduce unnecessary delays, aggravation, and wear and tear on the mind and body as well as the vehicle.
Commute Management involves using one's brain, as opposed to the gas pedal foot, to outsmart traffic congestion. The payoff often involves a shorter duration of travel, greater alertness upon arrival at work or home, and cost savings.
Commute Management proves especially helpful to human resource managers, as it helps boost employee punctuality, morale, retention and productivity.

David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles. Dr. Roadmap continues to provide COMMUTE MANAGEMENT solutions with the 2006 release of his book, "Survive the Drive! How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California."
