Dear Slugs/Drivers:
It has been a long time since the last
Slug-Lines.com newsletter. However, that does not mean things
are not happening in the slugging world! In fact, there has
been a lot of interest in starting new slug lines. The focus
of this newsletter is on Braddock Road and the Mark Center. In
addition, there has been interest in starting a slug line from
Horner Road directly to the Army National Guard Readiness Center in Arlington, VA. Stay tuned for new updates!
Again, I want to thank everyone for their help in keeping the Slug-Lines.com website up-to-date! It's a great way to commute!
Sincerely,
David LeBlanc

New Slug Lines - Braddock Road and the Mark Center!!
To prepare for the HOV access
to the Seminary Rd exit (the Mark Center) in 2015, a new slug
line is being created for drivers and riders using Braddock
Rd. Currently, drivers who travel Eastbound on Braddock
Rd in the morning pick up slugs from bus stops and other
prearranged locations on Braddock Rd with a destination to the
Mark Center or Pentagon. Pentagon destination drivers
use the new HOV lane entrance at I-495 to reduce the commute
time. Mark Center destination drivers pick up slugs as a
courtesy because the WMATA 17 bus lines only arrive and depart
at the Pentagon, which increases the rider commute to the Mark
Center an additional 20 minutes, at a minimum. In 2015,
the HOV exit to Seminary will be complete, and drivers will
have an opportunity to use the HOV to commute to the Mark
Center.
At this time, there is no official afternoon
pick up at the Pentagon with a destination to Braddock
Rd. With the increased awareness of Braddock Rd riders
and drivers participating in the Braddock slug option, it
is expected that a Pentagon slug line will be
established. Certainly, communication between drivers
and riders during the morning ride commute will assist with
establishing an official Braddock Rd slug line at the
Pentagon.
Currently, there is an official
afternoon pick up location (kiss and ride, near the bus
terminal) at the Mark Center with a destination to Braddock
Rd. Riders are few due to this being a somewhat new slug
option. Potential riders wait at the Mark Center kiss and ride
location. Since it is close to the bus terminal, if a
Braddock Rd driver does not arrive when the 7M shuttle
arrives, the riders takes the 7M to the Pentagon and then
waits for a WMATA 17 bus line with a destination to Braddock
Rd.
We request that drivers and riders be alert to
possible slug opportunities and make an effort to
participate.
If you have comments or suggestions, please post comments on the message board. [More

The following email address is a
distribution list for drivers and riders who would like to
correspond with each other for the Braddock Rd slug
option.
