commute to and from work every day. i hope that we see a decline in traffic delays, but it probably won't be as pronounced as we're seeing right now. >> reporter: the pandemic is given the employers the proof that working at home is not only feasible but productive. >> we're going to see employers requiring it and they're going to take that as an approach to their cost savings and their efficiencies and their contribution to the community around them. >> reporter: hancock doesn't see the sift having a negative impact on the b.a.r.t. extension because the need for public transit remains. the tech plaza will stay on track. >> there isn't that expectation that everybody will be all there the time. i think employers like google will view work as something that can be done flexibly. >> reporter: the demand on regional planning should, he says, lead to new regional task forces and discussion. david louie, abc7 news.
