I suggest we start new slug lines immediately from the Dale City lot, going to 14th, 18th, l'Enfant etc.. PLEASE respond with your suggestions.

I would be interested in using the Dale City lot (the one behind Giant, right??) to go to L'Enfant as a rider.

I don't leave Dale City until about 7:15 a.m. I'd love to start a carpool from anywhere in DC, but I can't find anyone who works around 18th and K from 8:30 to 4:30, and I am unable to change my hours.

I would prefer using the Dale City lot. I work 9:30 - 6 at 18th & I - I usually don't go in until 8:20/8:30 a.m. My daughter used to drop me off at Pot. Mills - could always get a ride at 8:30 a.m. Have been driving every day for the past 2 months; will start slugging again w/ occasional driving although I may wait to see how late rides and riders are available next week.

Rose14507,
Thanks for taking the initiative! This is what has made slugging a sucess - slugs taking care of slugs and solving our commuting problems.
What I proposed to the community was leaving 14th, 18th and L'Enfant at Potomac Mills and moving everything else to Dale City. This is what I will propose to everyone today on the website and via a newsletter.
However, if the 14th Streets slugs get together and want to use Dale City, that's fine with me too. I normally do not take such an active role in selecting/directing slugging locations, but this Potomac Mills issue is an exception.
If I had a request, I would ask that you give Option #1 a try (leaving the 14th/18th/L'Enfant at Potomac Mills) for the next week or so, just to help minimize the confusion. Monday, is going to be crazy as people try to figure out where to go.

Do you usually drive slugs home at 6 when you leave? I know the HOV is open at that point - but one of my main challenges with slugging is that a lot of times - my meetings don't end in time for me to be in line at 19th and I by 5:15.
Does anyone else have this issue? (slugging fine in the morning but find it challenging to get a ride back to the Horner / Dale City / 123 lots)

Old Hechinger's was a mess this morning - I believe I got the last spot at 8:15. I'm very willing to use Dale City as I live right around the corner - not sure why we wait until there is a crises but maybe something good will come of this - LINES AT EVERY LOT!! In some cases it's not only the destination but the timing as well. If the 123 Lot (down the hill) was used after 8:00/8:15 that would take care of overflow from Old Hechingers - just a thought.

We need to get the 14th/18th street slugs to go over to the Dale City lot. I would much rather pick up there than drive over to the old Hechinger lot and sit in the traffic on Minnieville. It's making me evil [}:)] Anyway we can this going?? I'd also be willing to pick up for that lot in the evenings if a line got started at 19th and I, next to the PM and Horner lines.

I would go to Dale City for 18th Street - however, I don't have to be at work until 9:30 am. I can take the bus home - how late are drivers/riders at Dale City lot in the morning?

Hi Rose, I have been getting to the Old Hechingers lot by 7:25. If a line could get started at DC, I'd much rather go over there; it would be about the same time.
