Carpool

Toll roads and traffic in Northern Virginia can make for a hectic and expensive commute. Use Express Lanes on I-66 and I-495 for free to commute to work faster when you share your ride via carpooling or vanpooling.

Commuter Connections allows you to find and connect with other people using a similar route to commute. They’ll even offer you $130 when you start carpooling!

If your employer offers a transit benefit and you live more than 15 miles from your workplace, vanpool may be an even better option. Rent a vehicle from a vanpool provider like Commute with Enterprise and meet up with others at a Park and Ride lot before hopping on the Express Lanes for your commute. Vanpool Alliance offers hundreds of dollars to keep your cost of vanpooling low and will help you find other riders when you need them.

Your nearest Park and Ride lot to Woodland Park Station is located at Herndon Metro Station.
