'an alternative' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'travelling into work introduces' is the wordplay.
'travelling' becomes 'op' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'work' indicates an anagram.
'introduces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'into' anagrammed gives 'tion'.
'op' placed within 'tion' is 'OPTION'.
