CARPOOLS usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge – see Omnimatch for more specific details

Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Stop in Lake Ridge – it is the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It’s free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 – win win!!
