[quote=Anonymous]We live near the metro and only have one car, which I almost never use (I metro to work, and to go out in the city) and DH only uses to get to his job, which is not convenient by metro.  Our AP does not have access to our car (she would have to go through the process of converting her driver's license anyway, which she hasn't shown much interest in doing), and she gets around just fine by metro and bus.  I have many friends in DC who do not own cars and rely on public transportation solely.  Before I moved here, when I'd visit friends in DC without cars, we went everywhere by public transportation.  We are clear in the matching process that we do not provide car access, and actually - it helps expand the AP pool for us, because lots of good potential APs do not drive, or don't want to drive in a foreign country or city with bad traffic like DC.  I realize that it is a little different for APs who mostly have friends in the DC suburbs, because there car use is much more common, and it is harder to get around to some places out in the suburbs without a car.  But if an AP is mostly city-bound, it is just fine.  The APs get around DC the same way that I and my friends did as young people living in or visiting DC, the same way that students who are their age get around, etc.[/quote]
