Hitch a Ride!!!
Carpooling has proven to be very popular in Lakeridge where you can meet up at the VDOT Commuter Lot.
Hitching a ride or also rather Slugging is provided by a designated Slug Line Stop in Lakeridge where those wanting to catch a free ride can do so. This much preferred with the demand to use I–95 HOV lanes. A driver heading out to DC in need of one more passenger can make a stop at the Slug Line Stop where the first commuter in the line heading off to DC as well can join the ride and use the I-95 HOV lanes.
With the many ways of commuting, people can never be without any means of transportation in Lakeridge.
