Travel Issues - Portal to Portal

Has anybody had any experience with the compensability of travel of employees to and from the work site and a parking location close to the employee's home? I understand that it is non-compensable if the employee parks the car at their home but here the employees drive in the employer's car and the employer and employee agree that the vehicle will be kept on a property owned by the employer (local government) which is within the normal commute range of the employee's home (usually a few miles from the employee's home). I believe that once the employee leaves the work site that under these circumstances the travel is not compensable under the Portal-to-Portal Act, the Employee Commuting Flexibility Act of 1996, and Baker v. GTE North Inc, 110 F.3d 28 at page 30. Any thoughts or experience on this issue? Thanks.
