It doesn't take more than a few days for a newcomer to Northern Virginia to believe the rumors about traffic congestion are fact, not fiction. It ranks very high for the vast majority of people when they begin a home search. Long time residents also consider commuting options when they decide to move to a larger or smaller home.

One community that is a prime target for folks seeking viable commuting oprtons is Lake Ridge in Prince William County just south of the Occoquan River along the I-95 corridor. You can see a comprehensive profile and video tour at Lake Ridge

Lake Ridge is one of two subdivisions in eastern Prince William County that has both bus service and a large community parking lot in the subdivision.

Lake Ridge Commuter Signs



COMMUTING

  • Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
  • Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
  • Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 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. For example, a driver will pull up 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 - win win!!
  • Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour.
  • At Springfield you can switch to Metrorail that gives you access to the entire National Capital Area subway system.
  • Local buses run regulary throughout the Greater Woodbridge area as well as other areas of Prince William County. Lake Ridge is one of the communities served by Omnilink
  • MCB Quantico is less than 30 minutes by car
  • Fort Belvoir is approximately 30 minutes by car
