I’m a Fed and still complain about the traffic. All of this was completely unnecessary.

DH has an 80 minute commute each way whether by metro or by car, and he would much rather get exercise walking to/from metro and zone out on the metro itself.

If it's DC to Rockville, can you park your car at your nearest metro station and use metro?
