PotomacLocal.com, NewsiT Probe Commuter Lots

PotomacLocal.com in partnership with NewsiT is putting the power of reporting in your hands, and we want to know more about the commuter lots you use each morning.

With the help of citizen reporters like yourself, we want to know what commuter lots fill up quickly each morning, and what lots still have available parking late into the morning. What are the best times to find commuter parking, which lots are served by mass transit, and lots that have attracted Slugs?

More to the Story: Find commuter parking, transit, and Slug options close to you with our interactive map.

We also want to know of underused commuter parking lots, lots that could be better served by mass transit, and what lots commuters think could be better served by the Slug system and why.

Additionally, as Virginia transportation officials look to convert the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on Interstate 95 to toll lanes, we want to know what impact such a transition would have commuters who rely on the HOV lanes daily.

This opportunity will provide PotomacLocal.com readers to become citizen reporters and help the local news organization and its partner, NewsiT, produce a comprehensive story about the commuter parking situation in Virginia’s Potomac Communities.
