I love the Express Lanes because it’s truly a love story. I commute on the Beltway and one of the things I commute for is going to and from my boyfriend’s house in Potomac. Oh, he’s my best friend and when we’re together, it’s kind of special. The Express Lanes has given me all kinds of time. I do it for love.

I’ve shaved an hour off my daily commute. It’s made me a better dad and a better husband.

Donald B., Stafford, VA

My commute is now safer and more predictable. I don’t worry that I will encounter traffic congestion that eats into the limited time I can spend with my Dad.

Kathy B., Falls Church, VA

My commute would take over an hour. Now it takes 25 minutes. I use that time with my family. Family is my priority.

Luis B., Woodbridge, VA

I own a small maid service and pay for all my employees to use the Express Lanes. We are like cleaning superheroes now, flying from one home to the next, no stress, staying on schedule, it’s a breeze.

Sarah P. (Owner, SparkleClean Maid Service), Alexandria, VA

With my second child on the way and having to juggle doctor appointments and my son’s school activities, you can’t put a monetary amount on saving time.
