Dynamic Ridesharing (Slugging) Symposium - The Federal Highway Administration Office of Operations, Arlington County Commuter Services and MWCOG's Commuter Connections, hosted the first ever Washington, D.C. area Dynamic Ridesharing Symposium on July 26th in Rosslyn.
This was a ground breaking meeting that brought together slugs, government officials and private industry to share ideas on how to advance Slugging (dynamic ridesharing) in the Washington DC area. The spirit of the meeting was nothing short of total collaboration with discussion on what can be done to improve slugging, overcoming obstacles, expanding slugging in other areas, etc. Shortly after the meeting, many of the participants walked to the Rosslyn slug line to see slugging in action. For those unfamiliar with slugging, I think they were amazed at the simplicity and efficiency of the system in action. This was a very productive meeting and many thanks to go Mr. Oliphant (who coordinated the symposium), the Federal Highway Administration Office of Operations, Arlington County Commuter Services, and MWCOG's Commuter Connections for hosting the event. Hopefully, there will be future meeting like this that brings together all parties to work together in solving our commuting problems! |
