With free parking widely available, ‘outer-ring’ commuters in Prince William continue to drive

The latest State of the Commute report shows what many already know: the further from Washington, D.C. you live, the more frustrated you are with the commute.

When it comes to all of those buses, slugging, commuter rail, and Metro choices that allow commuters the option to get out of their car, many surveyed from our area still choose to drive alone.

  • The drive-alone rate is 75% for the Outer Ring (Calvert, Charles, Frederick counties in Maryland, and Loudoun, and Prince William counties in Virginia).
  • The mode pattern for employment area was similar; fewer than four in ten (38%) commuters who worked in the Inner Core area drove alone, dramatically lower than the drive alone rates for Middle Ring workers (78%) and Outer Ring workers (87%).

What’s keeping those people driving alone? It could be the availability of free places to park.
