Chairman Letourneau stated that since NVTC’s WMATA Committee Chair Cathy Hudgins could not attend the meeting, he would provide a brief update on committee activities. The WMATA Committee has met twice to work on the development of the 2019 Report on the Performance and Condition of WMATA. The committee provided staff with guidance on strategies regarding the WMATA Board, parking, fare policy, fare pass products and the role of Metrobus in the region. He explained that NVTC is responsible for reporting on the performance and condition of WMATA annually by November 1st to the Governor and General Assembly. He stated that the Commission will be asked to take action on the 2019 Report at the October meeting. Chairman Letourneau asked Mr. D’huyvetter to give a staff presentation on the 2019 Report. Mr. D’huyvetter reviewed the work that has been accomplished for the 2019 Report. He acknowledged the hard work of Dinah Girma and Zach Smith of NVTC staff, who were instrumental in the research and peer system benchmarking of fare policies for children, low- income fare pass, parking utilization and policy and complementary paratransit service in Northern Virginia. Mr. D’huyvetter stated that the 2019 Report includes new strategies as well as strategies carried over from the 2018 Report. The Strategies Chapter of the report provides policy recommendations developed by staff with direction from the NVTC WMATA Committee. Strategies include: 1) Maximize Use of Eight-Car Trains 2) Improve Weekend Rail Service 3) Develop Parking Pass Products 4) Optimize Parking Facilities 3 5) Expand and Enhance Fare Products 6) Rebuild Ridership and Improve Efficiency of Metrorail and Metrobus 7) Increase Non-Fare Revenues 8) Control Cost Escalation and Enhance Efficiency of the Workforce and Contracted Services Mr. Skiles asked about the status of WMATA’s development of a mobile ticketing app. Ms. Mattice replied that NVTC has requested WMATA staff brief the Commission on WMATA’s progress on its regional fare collection program. Mr. Skiles observed that if WMATA does not do something soon, the local governments will start making decisions about mobile ticketing. Mr. Cook asked why on-time performance is worse on the weekends. Mr. Dorsey explained that WMATA often single tracks service on the weekends for maintenance, which impacts on-time performance. Mr. McKay stated that he would like to see the strategies in “4) Optimize Parking Facilities” be applied to all the parking facilities, regardless if they are WMATA-owned or where local governments control the policies. Ms. Garvey asked if there is data showing a pattern of when parking prices drop then ridership and demand goes up. She stated that it would be helpful to share this information, if available, with the jurisdictions, especially with those that control the parking policies. Mr. McKay agreed that the goal is to grow ridership. Chairman Letourneau stated

    Metro Metro 2017 − 2026 Cip

    METRO METRO METRO 2017 − 2026 CIP Metro Funding Project Description The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA/Metro) is a unique federal-state-local partnership formed to provide mass transit service to the Washington Metropolitan region. WMATA's Adopted FY 2017 - FY 2022 Capital Budget consists of $6.0 billion of critical system projects necessary to maintain the Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metroaccess systems over the next six years. The program focuses heavily on replacement / rehab of the system's aging rail infrastructure with minimal enhancement investments. Also included is the funding of an additional 220 7000-series railcars and associated rail power system upgrades. These additional railcars will be used to retire all 192 of the original 5000-series railcars, one of the most unreliable series in the current fleet. The remaining 28 railcars will be used for minimal capacity expansion along the red line. Funding for the WMATA capital program is from a combination of state, federal, regional and local sources. For Arlington, the total adopted six-year funding commitment is approximately $186 million, consisting of $106 million of annual subsidy payments, and $80 million of planned debt issuance by WMATA. Over ten-years, Arlington has programmed $280 million, with increased funding in the out-years primarily for service expansion projects. This fully funds Arlington's baseline funding of WMATA, and funds $55 million of planned debt issuance based on historical capital program execution rates. A combination of general obligation bonds, state grants and regional gas tax are used to fund Arlington's share of WMATA subsidy. A new multi-year capital funding agreement is currently being drafted among WMATA contributing jurisdictions to cover fiscal years 2018 -2023 and is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2016.
