Tele-Commuter Resources, Inc. Bringing communities into the Information Age has been the object of great interest and significant investment yet for many communities, progress is been minimal. In the global economy TCR believes that creating a community infrastructure must be done strategically and through collaboration. The Community Typology identifies the six living environments found within the economic region of a metropolitan center. How each of these community types is supported and, in turn supports, the others, is fundamental to building a technology plan. TCR's Distributed City Model outlines an approach to how this can be accomplished. It is not "THE" plan but rather "A" plan. The Community Alliance is offered as a vehicle for community leaders to work together, as a collaborative, to develop a model that individual communities can then follow.

The tools and services outlined in this section have been developed to provide an opportunity for the Community Sector to reassert it's independence and establish a position of parity with the public and private sectors in the development of this critically important effort. The digital divide exists due to segmentation and isolation, this effort is for serious leaders who are interested in developing a meaningful solution.

Community leaders are asked to:

Your partnership provides access to:

  • Annual Report- annual telework report and a local profile of your telework clients.
  • Access TCR Data Base- Access to the Data Base allows you to inquire about trends, "Best Practices" and deployment specific issues.
  • e-Consensus Forum- sponsored employees will have full access to all TCR sessions including the detailed and summarized responses of each forum. In addition, partners may suggest forums that would facilitate greater telework implementation. See the e-Consensus section on the menu for more information
  • The Coach- The Coach is a knowledge management system designed to help you understand telecommuting and how best to leverage it so that you can meet your community goals/
  • The Data Exchange- the Data Exchange consisting of a series of research collection and dissemination opportunities for individuals to document their teleworking experiences and aspirations. It will serve as a catalyst for topics to be addressed via the Coach, The Mindset, the e-Consensus Forums, etc.
