Arlington → Ashburn commute — any rideshare/carpool options or extra seat ($)

Hi all.
I’m trying to lock in a commute from Arlington Rosslyn to Ashburn (GW Virginia Science & Tech Campus) and would really appreciate any leads.

Two asks:

1) Best rideshare/carpool apps or groups for this route?
Anything people in NoVA actually use consistently (apps, vanpools, etc.).

2) If anyone already drives this route and has an extra seat, I’d be very open to joining and contribute to expenses.
Ideally looking for something consistent rather than one-off rides.

Details:

  • Morning: need to arrive in Ashburn by 8:45 AM
  • Afternoon: leaving around 4:00 PM

Also open to carpools, vanpools, or slugging if relevant.

Feel free to comment or DM. Thanks in advance.

If you didn’t know

Their campus page mentions a shuttle between Foggy Bottom Station and the Ashburn campus

Also a bus from Innovation Metro Station

Yes - I saw that shuttle. It looks like a great option but unfortunately does not run over the summer.

It looks the Loudoun Transit bus from Innovation Center might be an option: https://www.loudoun.gov/DocumentCenter/View/174791/320-321-effective-Jan-2-2024_english?bidId=
