What We Learned at Our Regional Rides Webinar
-
Every day thousands of commuters travel to Arlington using a variety of transportation options. Many take advantage of sustainable methods such as public transportation, carpooling, or vanpooling. However, for those commuting more than 15 miles, incorporating sustainable options into part or all their journey can sometimes feel challenging. Sustainable commuting offers numerous benefits, including reduced stress, lower transportation costs, and a smaller carbon footprint. Fortunately, a range of regional commuting services make it possible for commuters, regardless of distance, to include sustainable options into their daily routines.
During our webinar on Regional Commuting Services, we welcomed guest speakers from three leading organizations: Virginia Railway Express (VRE), OmniRide, and GWRideConnect. Each presenter shared valuable insights about their programs, the services they provide, and how commuters can leverage these resources to create a commute tailored to their needs. Below, we highlight some of the key takeaways from each presentation.

I’ve lived in Arlington for the past few years, and last year I moved into a building right across from the Ballston Metro. I specifically chose this location so Metrorail could be my primary way to get to work, and now my daily commute on the Orange or Silver Line to Rosslyn is quick, easy, and car free.As a household, we’ve even been able to downsize from two cars to one!
