I have seen some nasty accidents involving Vespas on RCPW, I'd take the red line to metro center and switch to blue or orange line to Arlington. People drive really fast, there is often gravel, I would not chance it, OP.
I sold my big Piaggio (also makes Vespa) scooter last year before moving back to the DMV, and it was a 350 that cruised at 75 easily, with lots of get-out-of-the-way power. Even wearing all the gear, all the time, I wouldn’t ride in this area.

There is zero chance I would Vespa from SS to Arlington unless maybe red bull sports or something is sponsoring you.
