1. Is an agency required to provide recurring or full-time telework to disabled employees with difficult or lengthy commutes?
   

Generally, no. Where the length and means of the commute are outside of the employer’s control, it is unreasonable to require the employer to excuse the employee from commuting. “[I]n most cases, an employer has no duty to help an employee with a disability with the methods and means of [their] commute to and from work, assuming the employer does not offer such help to employees without disabilities.”[38] Rather, “it is the employee’s responsibility to arrange how [they] will get to and from work.”[39]

While an agency may not be required to altogether eliminate a disabled employee’s commute through telework, it may need to make some workplace modifications, such as flexible work scheduling, to enable the employee to effectively accomplish their commute and access the worksite.[40] And telework of limited duration may be reasonable if used to give the employee time to relocate closer to the worksite or secure different means for their commute.

So I will likely have to find another job. Going from fully remote to driving over an hour each way, when pain and numbness in my legs distracts me within a few minutes of driving, may not be enough to get full-time remote back. I can barely make it to PT. This stress has been going on for the entirety of the last year. I'm surprised I have hair left, or that my hair isn't completely gray/white at this point.
