Hate traffic? Download the GoEzy App!

GoEzy App Graphic 2.jpg

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is sponsoring a project that aims to pilot travel options that minimize congestion and better serve commuters. As part of this initiative, the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) is partnering with Metropia, Inc. to provide the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) employees access to GoEzy, a mobility app powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) that tailors suggestions to improve your commute.

The GoEzy app helps commuters like you find better ways to get around town by bringing all travel options together into one convenient app. Even better, it suggests ways to save time and money and avoid the stresses of traffic. As part of the pilot, NGA has created a private carpool group within the app.

•Improve your commutes to the office by finding alternative routes ormobility options.
•Discover cost-effective transportation options such as carpooling, bicy-cling, and transit lines tailored to your personal commute
•NGA’s carpooling group allows you to find coworkers with a similarroute and travel time so you can share a ride with someone you knowand trust
•Log your work-at-home schedule through the app’s unique Teleworkfeature

What is this project and why should we all care?

Did you know there is nearly a combined 110,000 cars traveling through the gates at Fort Belvoir, Marine Corps Base Quantico and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall daily? And roughly 86% of the cars traveling through the gates at Fort Belvoir and Marine Corps Base Quantico are Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOVs)? And that number jumps to an astounding 96% for Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall? In fact, it is estimated that a quarter of the vehicles on I-95/395 every day is commuting to one of the various military installations located within the National Capital Region (NCR).

Options

OptionsThe following are alternative transportation options that are prolific throughout the Northern Virginia Region.  Each county has a department that focuses public transportation to include buses, metro, and trains, while these are useful and effective methods, this area offers a variety of other methods.  The following is a brief description of some of the common alternative methods with website links to help you get started in using them.
 

Carpooling

Carpooling is a common method that has been used throughout the region for years.  Many employers allow for exclusive parking spots for carpooling.  Speak to your employer about already created and new carpools. 

Vanpooling

Vanpooling is a frequently used method of alternative transportation in this area.  For federal employees using a for-profit vanpool company, they can use their Mass Transit Benefit to pay for the van.  Vanpool Alliance is an organization that helps link people and vanpool companies. 

www.vanpoolalliance.org/

Slugging

Slugging is an alternative transportation option that is unique to the DC area.  Slug lines are throughout the region and allow for drivers, scrapers, to pick up riders, or slugs, so they can use the HOV lanes.  The following sites provide information about where you can either pick slugs up or be a slug and get a ride.

Survey

Survey

NVRC

The Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) is a regional council of thirteen member local governments in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC. According to Virginia’s Regional Cooperation Act, NVRC is a political subdivision (a government agency) within the Commonwealth.

Currently, NVRC is working alongside many local organizations and three of the larger military installations in the NoVA region (Ft. Belvoir, MCB-Quantico, and Joint Base Myer- Henderson Hall) to address transportation issues and reduce the number of single-occupancy-vehicles (SOVs) traveling to the military bases.  While these installations are some of the largest employers in their areas, they are also some of the largest contributors to the traffic.    

  • Mass Transportation Benefit Program (MTBP)

The Mass Transportation Benefit Program is offered to eligible employees and military service members, to the extent authorized by law and regulation, to reduce pollution and traffic congestion, preserve the environment, and expand transportation alternatives.

Under this program, participating employees in the National Capital Region (NCR) receive "transit passes" in amounts equal to their personal commuting costs, not to exceed $270 per month (parking costs not included). To receive this benefit, employees must relinquish any federally subsidized parking permit, and may not be listed as part of a DoD carpool for purposes of qualifying for a parking pass.

  • Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) Commuter Survey

Click on the graphic to visit the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) Commuter Connections survey that has been adapted for those traveling to and from military installations. Please complete the survey to better help the NVRC understand the commuting habits of those working on base and how they can help you.
