WASHINGTON — The Commuter Connections State of the Commute (SOC) Survey is currently underway across the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Conducted every three years, the survey tracks commuter trends and awareness of alternatives to driving alone—such as carpooling, transit, biking, walking and teleworking.
Data collection for the 2025 survey is taking place from March through June. Postcards have been randomly mailed to households throughout the region. Each postcard includes two unique passcodes—one for the recipient and a second for another adult member of the household to participate.
If you receive a postcard, you’re encouraged to follow the instructions to complete the online questionnaire. Responses are due by May 11.
Participation will help the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) better understand commuting patterns and shape future transportation planning.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments is a nonprofit association composed of 300 elected officials representing 24 local governments, the Maryland and Virginia state legislatures, and the U.S. Congress. Each month, more than 1,500 officials and subject-matter experts collaborate through COG to address the region’s key challenges and plan for the future.

The need to make the commute from St. Mary’s to DC better. This state spends so much money on the northern counties – we don’t even have metro, marc – not even dedicated bus lanes. But man, I’m glad I pay all those taxes.
