• Carpools -  usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
• Slugging is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on I-95/395 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge - the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. A driver will pull up to the line headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - A much faster option for all!!
