Slugging, an informal carpooling system that emerged in Virginia amidst the 1973 oil crisis, allows commuters to share rides and save costs. Popularized by the establishment of HOV-4 lanes, the system has become an efficient means for over 10% of D.C. workers from Northern Virginia to commute. The Horner and Telegraph Lots in Woodbridge, featuring 3,024 spaces and seven slug lines, serve as a key pick-up point, with operations peaking in the early morning hours to maximize commuter efficiency.
