The form below was reprinted from Lake Ridge Today.

My husband and I have a unique perspective on Lake Ridge since we have

• lived in Lake Ridge for 26 years
• owned five properties in the community
• raised our family here

Lake Ridge is one of the ten largest subdivisions in the United States.

• 38,000 residents
• 7,000 + residences
• 4,400 acres
• 1,200 acres of it are treed common ground
• On the 2,100 acre Occoquan Reservoir

COMMUTING

• Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
• Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
• Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge - 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!!
• Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour.
