This week, the Defense Department shut down Commercial Virtual Remote – the cloud-based collaboration service it set up to help employees telework during the pandemic.

The Biden administration is calling on agencies to transition the federal automobile fleet to zero-emission vehicles. But agencies have a long way to go to meet that goal.
