🚗 Curious about slugging on I-66? It's easier than you think.

1️⃣ Riders wait at a designated slug line.
2️⃣ Drivers pick up two riders and switches on their E-ZPass Flex to HOV ON mode.
3️⃣ Everyone travels together using the I-66 Express Lanes for a faster, more efficient trip.

Slugging has been a Northern Virginia commuting tradition for decades because it's simple, reliable, and helps everyone get where they're need to go faster.

Ready to give it a try? Join the I-66 Slugging Challenge to save time, save money, earn rewards, and win prizes for participating.

Welcome back to the .

August has been a month of birthdays 🎂and bus expos 🚌, with staff joining OmniRide for their recent 40th anniversary celebration and touring a selection of vehicles at the CTAV conference. In between, Chris represented DRPT at ACT's annual conference, Lauren showed kiddos the coolness of transit with ART, and Director Zimmerman provided keynote remarks at the Hampton Roads Chapter of WTS's scholarship raffle.

While we may not have won drawings at these events 🎟️, we felt like real winners for getting to connect with folks across the Commonwealth 🏅.
