Hi.

I currently take VRE from Manassas Park to L'Enfant Plaza to get to my
job at 14th and Independence. I have a job offer at DHS with address at
425 I St. NW. I've used Mapquest to try to find the best public
transportation alternative but I haven't been able to find a route that
is the same walking distance as my present route.

Questions:

1. Is there a way for me to take the VRE to Union Station and is it
walking distance from Union Station to 425 I St. N.W.?

2. How about PRTC Omniride bus - it stops at 14th and NY but it longs
like a real long walk from there to 425 I St. N.W.

3. Metro doesn't look attractive because my house in Prince William is
a 19-mile drive to either Vienna or Franconia/Springfield.

I'm running out of alternatives, yet I don't want to drive to DC. Any
suggestions, maybe like a combination of bus and Metro or VRE and bus,
etc. would be appreciated. Thanks!
