I get on HOV at about 5:40 am -5:45 am, drive to Springfield, dump onto I-395 and get off at Seminary. I arrive at the Mark Center between 6:15 and 6:30 usually. If traffic is backed up on I-395, I may go on to Franconia, then Van Dorn to Sanger or Seminary. It really isn't that bacd at that time of day.
In the p.m., I hop on I-395 SB around 3:10, 3:15 to the HOV ramp at Edsall all the way to Dale Blvd. If there's no delays, I get off HOV around 3:30/3:45. Sometimes, if I know the HOV is backed up, I stay on the main lanes, like today, and made it to Dale Blvd. by 3:30 (6 lanes are faster than two slow ones). I always, always check my IPhone app, Waze, social media for traffic. Check it out! |

quote: Recommend you also go to the WHS Transportation office as well. Bring this issue up with them about putting slug lines inside - I agree with you. Once the complex is at capacity, the current slug line area will be a mess. I will go to Transportation office in the morning. I just signed up for their database for the slug lines. Picked up hubby (who came over on 7M bus from Pentagon) at that area today at 4:15 -- we got to Woodbridge by 5pm, and had our son from daycare by 5:15. Not a bad trial run for us. I would DEFINITELY be interested in picking up a rider or 2 from Mark Center to Woodbridge in the PM as soon as I confirm my work schedule. I'd say Horner Rd or Tackett's Mill would be our drop off point in the PM. Right now it's looking like I'll be able to work 7:30-4pm. Not sure of what our AM run will be like at this point, having to drop off our little guy at daycare first. Will keep you all posted. |

Just found out my new job (starting Mon 10/24) will be at Mark Center. Not sure of hours yet -- hoping for 7:30-4pm or 8am-4:30. I have applied for parking permit -- status of that still pending. Assuming I get a permit, would be willing/able to drive/ride from 234 or Tackett's Mill lots. Horner is too packed by 6:30 to even consider (although an ideal location). I live in Dumfries area (Southbridge).
Based on hubby's input to me, sounds like going north to PNT is better option in the AM, and getting on HOV southbound between Duke St and Edsall in PM is best (pending an HOV ramp at Mark). Please let me know how this is going, or what I can do to help. Thanks! |

Is DCCL at the K-Mart on Dale Blvd? I could pick up/drop off at either DCCL or the Montclair Fire Station. 6:00-6:30 in the morning and 3:00-3:30 in the afternoon.

Who's willing to pick this up??? I am ready to pick up/drop off folks to from Woodbridge. I will try my luck next week in waiting at the Mark Slug line to pick ppl up in the evenings. I could pick up and then take Springfield to get off at exit 3 and take Beaureguard or 4 (depending on traffic) and in the evenings I could pick up and get on the HOV lane between exits 3 and 2 going south.

I recently received this information regarding the Mark Center:
There is a slug line available at the Mark Center. However, because there is no HOV access to accompany the flow of traffic on I-395, the best slugging option for employees is to: 1. AM: Slug directly to the Pentagon and then take Metrobus 7M to the Mark Center. 2. PM: Take Metrobus 7M to the Pentagon and then slug from there. Once HOV access to I-395 is built, slugging directly to/from the Mark Center will be available. |

From the previous posting--sounds like 234 would be a good start. I'd slug from there as a preference. Anyone else interested?
