Street Slugging -
The District of Columbia Transportation office is
working with Slug to fix the congestion problems along 14th
Street. Basically, they are looking into alternative
locations next to 14th that will allow drivers to pull over
more easily and not stop traffic along the busy 14th street.
They have even created an interactive map to get ideas!!
Here is the link to the interactive map from the Washington
Post Link.Also, WTOP posted some information:WTOP

Has Signs for Slugs - A longtime slug has created a set
of signs designed to help improve both slugs and drivers.
The site: www.RuGoingMyWay.us
has
uniquely designed signs that a driver can display to show
slugs the cars destination. Now, instead of walking down the
line of cars and asking each driver, you can just see where
they are going. Take a look.
Dynamic
Ridesharing (Slugging) Symposium - The Federal
Highway Administration Office of Operations,
Arlington County Commuter Services and MWCOG's Commuter
Connections, hosted the first ever Washington, D.C. area Dynamic
Ridesharing Symposium on July 26th in Rosslyn. This was a ground breaking meeting that brought together slugs, government officials and private industry to share ideas on how to advance Slugging (dynamic ridesharing) in the Washington DC area. The spirit of the meeting was nothing short of total collaboration with discussion on what can be done to improve slugging, overcoming obstacles, expanding slugging in other areas, etc.
