A political scientist and two regional economists from Towson University trace the employee commute option through its stages from initial idea through enactment and implementation to evaluation and reformulation.

The analysis integrates the policy cycle model and the advocacy coalition framework. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
