Telework

Bus

Sit back, relax, and let someone else drive you to work. Taking the bus can help reduce stress instead of sitting behind the wheel, and it is an affordable choice, as all one-way rides on Fairfax Connector buses are just $2 per ride, and RIBS rides are $1.80. Additionally, fares are often discounted or even free when transferring to the Metro or another bus.

Located less than a half-mile away from Reston Town Center Transit Station, you have access to various bus routes, connecting you to places throughout Reston and the greater D.C. Metro Area.

Metro

Enjoy a book, return emails, stream your favorite show, the possibilities are endless when it comes to your commute on the Metro. Leidos Global Headquarters is less than a half-mile walk from the future Reston Town Center Station on the Silver line, and a mile and a half ride or walk from Wiehle-Reston East Station. The Silver line provides a direct ride to Tysons, Arlington, D.C., and many more places throughout the region.

Bike

Fairfax County is home to hundreds of miles of scenic bike paths and a network of bike lanes and routes to suit anyone from new riders to avid cyclists. With the Washington & Old Dominion Trail (W&OD) less than half a mile from Leidos Global Headquarters and over 55 miles of trails and pathways throughout Reston, getting to work by bike has never been easier.

Capital Bikeshare

Don’t own a bike? No problem! Leidos Global Headquarters is surrounded by several Capital Bikeshare stations within a few minutes’ walk. Capital Bikeshare is an efficient and inexpensive way to get to work and around Reston, thanks to 17 stations scattered throughout the town. Bikeshare is ideal for quick-trips under 30 minutes–especially since all trips under 30 minutes are free. Check out Capital Bikeshare’s website for more information.

Walk

If you live close by, walking takes sitting in traffic out of your commute entirely, making it a great (and free) alternative to driving to work.

Leidos Global Headquarters is surrounded by walkable and safe sidewalks, making it safe and easy to walk to work.  

Carpool

Carpooling to work offers several benefits, including cutting your commute costs, reducing wear and tear on your car, and helping alleviate the stress of driving by sharing the burden with someone else. Thanks to Commuter Connections, it is easier than ever to find carpool matches. Commuter Connections operates a regional database where commuters can enter their home and work locations to find a potential match for a carpool. Another advantage to carpooling is that it allows you to take advantage of HOV lanes on I-66 and Dulles Toll Road, as well as take the Express Lanes for free on I-495, I-395 and I-95.
