Good morning everyone! I am fairly new to slugging but I think this is so cool! I just moved to Fredericksburg from DC and still need to commute back and forth. I tried VRE, way too expensive for me... Could you tell me how to arrange this? I saw the pick up spot was route 3 off of Gordon (so close to my house!) and 14th and Independence the destination. Is there a specific time for pick up/drop off? How can I arrange this? Your help is greatly appreciated!  ------------- Jay Aikens |

| I don't know how active Gordon Rd is for slugging up to DC. You might want to check out the Mine Rd lot off of 610 |

Thanks Keith! Could you tell me how it works? Are there specific times for pickup and drop off and how do I stay updated on changes? I really need to find out how this works, as this would be very beneficial. Please advise. Thanks Keith! ------------- Jay Aikens |

Jay, Its a pretty simple system. Driver pulls up & calls his location. 1st in line (for that location) gets in the car. Line keeps moving forward till its your turn. You might want to drive a few times to understand how it works from a driver perspective. Also, know how to get home - know where your afternoon line is to get home. Its more of a time window for pickup - I get picked up from Mine Rd as early as 0545-0630 to go to the Pentagon. Early is better. Lots fill up quick

Mr. Aikens, any luck on this? We're considering relocating to F'burg, and I used to think (actually, still do) that Rt 3 was just too far. How are the lines at the Rt 3 going to DC? What time do you get there? What's the typical drive time between there and the HOV entrance?
