I moved to the DC-VA area in 2002 from Texas (where giving up a car for transportation is unheard of).  After driving from DC to Fredericksburg, VA, I realized how crazy it was to spend several hours in a car by myself everyday.  After a few months I found a vanpool that met close to my house.  I have been a vanpooler ever since, and now am on my second van with 10 others.  There are two vans that meet at the same lot and go directly to my office, and several other vans that park at my office and many that drop people off at the curb.  There is no better way to get back and forth to work.  In all my working years in major cities in Texas, I never thought I would willingly give up my vehicle.  The Guaranteed Ride Home feature is a wonderful benefit offered by Commuter Connections.  Thanks for being there to put commuters in touch with others willing to share the load!
