Minutes of the April 5, 2018 NVTC Commission Meeting Ms. Garvey moved, with a second by Ms. Bulova, to approve the minutes. The vote in favor was cast by Commissioners Bulova, Corcoran, Dorsey, Ebbin, Foust, Garvey, Hudgins, LaRock, Letourneau, Snyder and Wexton. Commissioners Cook, Cristol and Meyer abstained. I-66 Commuter Choice FY2018 Program Vice-Chairman Letourneau stated that the Commission is being asked to approve Resolution #2357, which will approve the I-66 Commuter Choice FY2018 Program of Projects and authorize staff to submit the program to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for consideration and action. Based on the evaluation by NVTC staff, the jurisdictional I-66 Commuter Choice Working Group, and the Commissioner Work Group, the recommended Program of Projects includes 15 projects for funding, totaling $12,077,068. Ms. Happ, project manager, reviewed the FY2018 I-66 Commuter Choice program, evaluation and selection process, applications received, and the recommended projects for funding. NVTC received 17 applications with a total funding request of $29.6 million. Ms. Happ stated that 60 percent of the program will fund new or enhanced bus service; 22 percent will provide access to park and ride lots, bus stops, and Metrorail and VRE stations; seven percent will directly serve to improve responsiveness to incidents along the I-66 corridor; and six percent will support transit incentives and alternate ways to travel such as carpool and vanpool. The collective benefits of the program will move an additional 2,000 people through the corridor during the morning peak period; save approximately 120,000 hours of travel delay per year during the commuter peak periods; connect people to more than 15 activity centers in Virginia and the District; provide two new bus routes and enhances service on three existing bus routes; and improve emergency and incident response capabilities to keep I-66 moving. Ms. Happ reviewed the 12 projects recommended for funding for FY2018, which are listed in the following chart: 3 Total Funding FY2018 I-66 Commuter Choice Project Name Applicant Request Fairfax Connector Express Bus Service Between Vienna/Fairfax- Fairfax $ 3,452,618 GMU and Pentagon Metrorail Stations County Loudoun County Transit Metro Connection Route 88X Extension Loudoun $ 1,706,040 to Dulles South County On-Demand Commuter Lot Shuttles in Prince William County PRTC $ 1,087,796 Loudoun County Transit Metro Connection from New Purcellville Loudoun $ 1,065,960 Park and Ride County City of CUE Access and Technology Improvements $ 965,000 Fairfax/CUE City of Falls Metrobus Route 3T Extension and Service Expansion $ 845,754 Church Fairfax I-66 Corridor Vienna/Merrifield Bike Share Expansion $ 497,100 County Arlington I-66 Corridor Intelligent Transportation System Enhancements $ 400,000 County Arlington Traffic Management Center $ 400,000 County Expanded Transportation Demand Management Outreach to the Arlington $ 350,000 I-66 Corridor County Flexible Vanpool Program PRTC $ 317,600 Linton Hall OmniRide Metro Direct Bus Service Enhancement PRTC $ 134,200 City of Bicycle Parking Improvements at Manassas VRE Station $ 55,000 Manassas I-66 Commuter Choice Marketing and Outreach NVTC $ 400,000 Program Administration, Evaluation and Oversight NVTC $ 400,000 Total $ 12,077,068 Delegate LaRock asked about two projects (I-66 Corridor Intelligent Transportation System Enhancement and the Traffic Management Center), which both scored low with a Total Benefit Score of 8 and 13, respectively. Vice-Chairman Letourneau stated the Commissioner Working Group had similar questions and had a lengthy discussion of these two projects at their recent meeting. These two projects are geared more to commuters who are driving, especially those forced off I-66 because of the tolls, and are designed to improve traffic flow on the alternative roadways. The projects are designed to respond to incidents quicker and clear the corridor faster, which will also benefit the direct I-66 user. He stated that the

    5 Planned Transit Service Improvements

    Metro Transit Central-South (Sector 5) Final Plan 4.5 Public Outreach Conclusions Stakeholder and public comments provided guidance to improve various elements of the plan. About one fifth of the comments favored the plan. Four cities, one county and the University of Minnesota also supported the plan. Several neighborhood groups expressed concerns about specific elements of the plan. The majority of comments (over 60 percent) were in response to the proposed route elimination or service reductions on Routes 7, 8, 18, 19, 22, 52B, 84, 538 and 539. Another frequent comment was concern regarding increased transfers and loss of direct service to key destinations. For example, the proposed elimination of some direct service to the University of Minnesota was the source of many complaints. The Concept Plan was modified to address many of the stakeholder and customer concerns within the current operating budget and the tenants identified in the previous chapters. Of the 55 routes in the sector, 32 or 58 percent of routes were modified in response to public comment. The final plan preserves geographic coverage in all of the urban area, and most of the suburban areas, and direct service to the University of Minnesota from France Avenue/ W. 50th Street, Cedar Avenue/Portland Avenue and Snelling Avenue. This final plan, as modified to address the concerns raised during the public outreach phase, is supported by all five cities and the two counties found in the study area. 5 Planned Transit Service Improvements 5.1 Planned Transit Service Network The service improvement program begins with a high-to-medium frequency grid network of local service in high-density population and employment areas such as south Minneapolis and St.

    Report by Finance and Capital Committee (B) 03-28-2019 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary MEAD Number: Resolution: Action Information 202068 Yes No TITLE: Adopt FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 CIP PRESENTATION SUMMARY: Staff will review feedback received from the public and equity analysis on the FY2020 Proposed Budget and request approval of the Public Outreach and Input Report, FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to seek Board acceptance and approval of the Public Outreach and Input Report and Title VI equity analysis, and the FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 CIP. DESCRIPTION: Budget Priorities: Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable The budget is built upon the General Manager/CEO's Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable (KMSRA) strategic plan. Metro is making major progress to achieve the goals of this plan by ramping up to average capital investment of $1.5 billion annually, establishing a dedicated capital trust fund exclusive to capital investment, and limiting jurisdictional annual capital funding growth to three percent. Metro continues to encourage the U.S. Congress to reauthorize the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) beyond FY2020, which provides $150 million in annual federal funds matched by $150 million from the District of Columbia, State of Maryland, and Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to establish a sustainable operating model, Metro is limiting jurisdictional operating subsidy growth to three percent and deploying innovative competitive contracting. The items on the KMSRA agenda that remain to be completed include restructuring retirement benefits and creating a Rainy Day Fund.
