Each year the Carlyle Council is required to survey our employees and residents to see how they commute. This survey is open to those who either live or work in the Carlyle Community of Alexandria. Your responses will tell us how you travel to work so we can better target our programs to encourage you to take public transportation, walk, bike or share a ride, instead of driving alone. Your input is very valuable to the success of Carlyle’s Transportation Management Program (TMP).
