Poll: 15% of Northern Virginians commute 2+ hours

Fifteen percent of Northern Virginia drivers spend more than two hours on the road every day, according to a new WTOP poll.

Eleven percent of Maryland drivers have similar grueling round-trip commutes. Only 6 percent of D.C. drivers are stuck on the road that long.

WTOP partnered with a Reston-based market research group to poll 641 adults between Oct. 10 and 13.

The study also found that 16 percent of Washington-area drivers spend between an hour and 90 minutes in the car every day. D.C. residents had the shortest commutes on average; Virginians had the longest.
