HOUSTON - Houston is testing the Flex in the City program, designed to help reduce traffic during the morning and afternoon commutes, KPRC Local 2 reported. More than 100 companies are participating in the program, including Duke Energy.

"It works for some," said Tori Beck of Duke Energy. "It doesn't work for everybody. Not everybody wants to work until later in the afternoon, so those who do have the option."

Some Duke Energy employees can go into work early and get a day off, giving them more time at home and reducing traffic.
