A website developed by the Virginia Department of Transportation enables commuters to calculate commute time.
"The Virginia Department of Transportation has created a groundbreaking Web site that allows commuters to calculate, down to the minute, how much time they would save if they carpooled and used the HOV lanes for their morning drive to work. Aimed at boosting the use of already heavily traveled carpool lanes on Interstate 66, the Interstate 95 corridor and the Dulles Toll Road, HOVCalculator.com will go live today after an announcement by Transportation Department Commissioner Charles D. 'Chip' Nottingham."
