This does not effect commuting or anything you do on your time off. The FAA purposely put language in there so that commuting will not be effected. Rest opportunity is just that - an opportunity. The catch all that covers commuting is that now each crew member must sign off (dispatch release or ACARS or something) that they are well rested and fit for duty at the start of their FDP. The FAA can then wash their hands of it.
