Requiring a study on national commuting trends, including telework and hybrid work arrangements, to help modernize transportation and community planning and improve commuters’ quality of life

The press release says DeSaulnier authored a provision requiring a study of commuting trends, including telework and hybrid work, for transportation and planning modernization.

Evidence

The House schedule for Monday, June 8, 2026 lists H.R. 8464, H.R. 8312, H. Res. 1335, and S. 2 for the Rules Committee, and the Tuesday, June 9, 2026 schedule lists other hearings and legislative hearings; H.R. 8870 does not appear in the June 8-9 agenda shown on the page.

The official House schedule for the lookback window shows other business but no visible action on H.R. 8870, so the commuting-study provision remained unresolved in the window.

The press release says the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed H.R. 8870 by a 62-2 vote and that one of DeSaulnier's authored provisions would require a study on national commuting trends, including telework and hybrid work arrangements; it also says the bill now awaits full House consideration.

Committee passage shows the promise was partially advanced: the study language made it into the committee-approved transportation bill, but it had not yet been enacted.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

DeSaulnier’s authored study language was included in a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee-passed bill, so he materially advanced the idea, but the evidence does not show enactment or implementation of the study. With the measure still awaiting full House action in the lookback window, the promise was not yet fulfilled.
