Wow. A walk score of 1--never seen one that low. |

| Vienna Metro to JBAB, driving on I-66: 40 minutes in the morning, 50 to 60 minutes in the evening. Sometimes I come 495 instead of 66 if the traffic downtown is bad: 495 (with HOT lanes) is never as good as 66 on a good day, but is more more consistent. |

Burke to Capitol Hill -60 to 90 min depending how many accidents on 395 or in the tunnel.
Leaving DC after 7pm, though, make it home in 30 min. So, might as well stay till 7pm. |

Ok so she didn't be add door to door. Still 16-18 min commute on red line, no switching is a great commute. Many of us can't be so lucky. No need to hate. |

Great Falls to Federal Center -> About 70-75 minutes during the evening rush. I'm close to Route 7 though, and I don't need to drive on Georgetown Pike.
Metro from Federal Center to Wiehle -> 50 mins Drive from Wiehle to Great Falls -> 10-15 minutes The rest is just transitions: walking to the metro, the amount of time it takes to get to the car and exit the parking lot, etc. I usually leave work at 4:15 and I'm home by 5:30. Not great but not terrible either, and I love the metro portion of the commute. During SafeTrack work though that commute is a real nightmare. |

| From Burtonsville: 35-40 minutes if I leave at 6am or 9 am, which I do. Coming home, 40-50 minutes. |

| I drop the kids off in Lower McLean. From Lower McLean to Penn Quarter it's about 30-45 min depending on traffic. |

Previous home in Merrifield: driving to 10th/Penn was 35 minutes door-to-door if I left before 6:45. It was twice that if I left after 7:00. Metro was 45 minutes door-to-door.
Current home in Arlington: about 36 minutes to Gallery place at any time of day, including short drive to metro, walking from parking garage, walking from metro to work. |

Ashburn to Silver Spring. ~1 hr in the am, leaving by 6:45, at the latest. But it's MUCH longer if I leave any later than that. Usually about 1 1/2 hours in the pm, leaving SS by 4:30, but I can get home in a little over an hour most days if I wait to leave until 6:15-6:30ish. (I can flex and leave early on other days).
1:45 each way if I take metro. Also work from home 2 days/week

I'm in North CC and commute to Dupont, with similar times. I usually try to do at least one trip outside normal commute hours; leaving well after 9am makes it an easy half-hour (max) commute; same with leaving before 5pm. I've done the drive in 20 minutes when I've gotten super lucky w/Beach Drive, outside rush hour and current construction of course. But for any important meetings, I always ensure that I have at least an hour just in case. |
