Fredericksburg Commuting and Transportation
Getting to Northern Virginia and D.C. from the Fredericksburg Region
Commuting from Fredericksburg to Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. involves four main options: slug lines, vanpools, commuter trains, and the Interstate 95 Express (HOT) Lanes. Each helps reduce congestion along outdated transportation corridors and offers viable alternatives to gridlocked driving.
Commuter Trends and Housing
Many relocating buyers consider Fredericksburg because homes in closer-in areas like Prince William County are increasingly unaffordable. Popular commuting locations include:
Stafford County
22405 (Falmouth/Route 3 East)
22406 (Warrenton Road/Route 17 North)
Spotsylvania County
22407 (Plank Road/Route 3 West)
22408 (Route 2 & 17 South)
