The Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) has begun "Real-time Ridesharing," a six-month pilot program designed to match Department of Defense personnel traveling along the Interstate 95/395 and U.S. Route 1 corridors with fellow employees taking similar paths to work. The program pays defense workers to carpool. Commuters can use a smart phone app to arrange a specific time to meet a driver traveling in the same direction. The NVRC is recruiting at least 1,000 riders and 500 drivers to participate in the pilot. Sign-ups for the program will begin in March, and ride sharing would begin in May or June. Contact Peggy Tadej at (703) 642-4635 for more information.
