14th and G seems to have a Rt 17 line.
I pick up a lot of slugs from Rt 3 going to D.C. by way of the Pentagon. There should be some interest. |

So how would one go about generating interest?

I would recommend you start by hitting Rt 3 and announcing your D.C. destination, stating whether you might be willing to make two or three stops (constitution, 14th and g, etc. - check the maps on the front page of this site). If you like the people who climb in with you, let them know you'll pick up at location X at a particular time. Also advertise in all the forums that you'll pick up at the 14th and G Rt 17 line for Rt 3. (Rt 17 lines seem t be pretty short downtown). After a few days of grabbing DC riders out of Rt 3, they'll start looking for you, and if other drivers know you have slugs downtown, they'll stop by there first.
Pretty soon you have a slug line. More formal instructions for forming a line can also be found on the site. |

I am trying to find a ride from Rte. 3 or 208 for the next day and week or so in order to volunteer with the REd Cross. If anyone is taking a slug into the city or Pentagon - I'd love a ride.

You can slug from the commuter lot on Gordon Rd.

I'm new to slugging. I've been asking slugs daily at Rt 3 to go anywhere on 14th street with no luck... Confidence is low so I pick up Pentagoners and go. I go to 14th and H. I definitely have interest in starting a line on both 14th and Rt 3.

Try 610 then crabber. Boatloads of DC slugs there. Probably where most of your RT3 DC crowd have started going to find rides.
Keep slugging alive - tip your driver today! |

Crabber, I live close to Rt. 3 and would LOVE to get a Rt. 3 - DC and DC - Rt. 3 line going. I've tried 610, but I don't leave work until 5pm and I'm afraid of not being able to get a ride. My boyfriend, who is also a rider, would love this as well - so there is interest!!!
