Iran implements remote work and commuting reforms for government employees

The First Vice President of Iran has issued a directive based on a Cabinet resolution to reform commuting patterns and reduce personal vehicle use among government employees. The new regulations mandate that executive agencies develop and implement plans to promote public transportation and alternative travel methods.

Within a three-year period, the policy aims to ensure that at least 70 percent of employees use methods such as walking, cycling, scooters, public transit, carpooling (with at least three passengers), or electric motorcycles. Conversely, personal vehicle use for commuting is to be limited to a maximum of 30 percent.

To support these goals, agencies are instructed to provide incentives and facilities for employees using electric vehicles, bicycles, or scooters. Furthermore, government agencies must replace gasoline-powered official vehicles with electric or hybrid models. When purchasing domestic cars or pickups, agencies must follow a priority order: electric, hybrid, dual-fuel, and finally, gasoline.

Additionally, agencies are required to designate one day per week as a “car-free day,” encouraging staff to avoid personal vehicles. On these days, agency parking will be reserved exclusively for official vehicles. The directive also tasks governors and mayors with overseeing traffic plans and parking tariffs to support these environmental and logistical shifts.
