Carsharing
In order to improve accessibility to destinations not easily
served by transit, the Washington Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (WMATA) partnered with Zipcar, a car sharing
company that offers car rentals at select Metro stations and
other urban locations. Residents of the City of Falls Church and
area visitors can take advantage of this service at the East Falls
Church Metro station, which has at this time two cars available
for rental; rates start at $9.25/hour, with daily charges totaling
$69. Carsharing patrons also enjoy dedicated parking spots in
selected areas throughout Arlington County. 31
Transportation Demand Management
Transportation demand management (TDM) involves a set of
services that addresses the demand for transportation as well
as providing information about the supply of services available.
The regional TDM program, Commuter Connections, is operated
through the Washington, D.C., area’s metropolitan planning
organization, the Metropolitan Washington Council of
Governments (MWCOG). MWCOG provides several TDM
services for employees within the D.C., Metropolitan Statistical
Area through its Commuter Connections program. Commuters
who live or work in Falls Church and the study area can sign up
to utilize Commuter Connections’ services, which include the
Ridesharing Program, the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH)
Program, and the Commuter Connections Bulletin Board.
