Location: Saratoga Park and Ride, Intersection of Barta Rd and Fairfax County Parkway, Springfield, VA 22153
Description: A group of motivated slugs are trying to revive the Saratoga slug line in Springfield. It is located near the Saratoga Shopping Center off Barta Road. The group has started a Facebook page to help organize support. [Click

Note - this line is just forming. Slugs
and drivers use the Sydenstricker commuter lot but this new location is emerging.
Slugger feedback: The Saratoga lot has 2 bus routes to and from the Pentagon. They are Fairfax County Connector Routes 393 and 394. The Saratoga lot is very large and underutilized. It is also about half a mile from the Fairfax County
Parkway and Rolling Road intersection. The two closest commuter lots to Saratoga are Sydenstricker and Gambrill. Both lots fill up early and there
is little "spill over" parking in the adjoining neighborhoods. Most people
are unaware of the Saratoga lot. From the Pentagon, coming home, Saratoga sluggers can use the same line for Sydenstricker and Rolling Valley
(Springfield/Burke stop).
