Northern Virginia’s transit network and HOV corridors are supported by an extensive park and ride lot system to encourage the use of transit and formation of carpools. There are more than 40,000 parking spaces available to carpoolers in state and local park and ride lots. In addition, both WMATA and VRE provide parking to their customers to encourage ridership on rail. When combined with increased transit options and carpool and vanpool incentives, park and ride lots can be useful congestion mitigation tools. Figure 49 shows the capacity at park and ride lots in Northern Virginia.
