Do you use the Green Way to commute?

I use it morning and evening to get into DC -- however I have been able to get my employer to reimburse me for the tolls (they said no to a car allowance) as well as set me up to telework two days a week.

 

Unfortunately, my husband has to use it. He commutes all the way to Falls Church.

It is high way robbery!!!!!

 

Yes, use it daily. If I'm not on it by 6:50am or so, the Toll Road starts becoming a parking lot after 7am.

I'm commuting ~38miles each way, and I get to enjoy all the goodies, Greenway, Toll Road, 495, then I have a choice: Rt 7E, 395N, Gallows to Columbia Pike or Rt 50E - each has their moments!

I really need to start looking at working closer

Or working from home more!

 

Does anyone know the out come of the meeting regarding the toll raise?

 

Yes, we both use it all the time! Living the "hinterlands" of Leesburg area--it is the best way to go for us all around. Hubby uses Toll Road to and fro to Chantilly at Grumman. Since he works his own schedule he usually leaves around 6 am and arrives at office by 7 am and leaves by 4 pm daily. Sometimes traffic is snarled as well as other routes.

I use the Toll Road when I commute to University of Maryland lately for research work on my post grad courses. Even though I am currently taking Food Science and Nutrition classes online through Kansas State University, I am having to use University of Maryland's Food Science departments for some research. I also lead the IFT chapter at University of Maryland in College Park. Institute of Food Technology (IFT) chapter is in College Park so I use commuter trains and the Toll Road some times.

I like commuting on the Toll Road in off and on peak times. To us, the "extra fees" are nominal compared to sitting on Route 7. I would rather pay fees than wait needlessly in traffic.
