    Plan Ahead for WMATA’s Platform Improvement Project You’ve got options and goDCgo can help. Photo courtesy of WMATA GREEN / YELLOW LINE STATION CLOSURES TOOLKIT FOR RIDERS Brought to you by goDCgo WHAT IS goDCgo? goDCgo is an initiative of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) focused on reducing solo-driving trips within the District of Columbia and its surrounding communities. goDCgo encourages employees, residents, and visitors to use more sustainable, affordable, and healthy transportation options such as bicycling, walking, carpooling, and public transit. WHAT IS THE PLATFORM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT? During summer 2021, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Association (WMATA) will repair and reconstruct platforms at four stations on the Green/Yellow Line: Greenbelt, College Park-U of Md, Prince George’s Plaza, and West Hyattsville. Starting Saturday, May 29 to Monday, September, 6, 2021 there will be no Green/Yellow Line service north of Fort Totten. Green Line trains will operate between Branch Ave and Fort Totten. Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Mt Vernon Square. During this time, free shuttle bus service will be available. The station closures are part of Metro’s three-year Platform Improvement Project (PIP) that will completely reconstruct the outdoor platforms at 20 Metrorail stations, making platforms safer and more accessible for customers with disabilities, while also addressing safety concerns and longstanding structural issues. To best handle the station closures, employers and commuters should prepare and educate themselves by knowing their transportation options. goDCgo’s online interactive map provides individual trip planning to help plan the quickest and most affordable route to work.

  • Hyattsville Transit Circulator Feasibility Study
    HYATTSVILLE TRANSIT CIRCULATOR FEASIBILITY STUDY December 2018 | FINAL HYATTSVILLE TRANSIT CIRCULATOR FEASIBILITY STUDY | FINAL CONTENTS Executive Summary 2 Report Purpose 4 Existing Conditions 4 Routing Plan 16 Business Proforma and Financial analysis 22 Recommendations 26 Example of a Circulator, the Bethesda Circulator TOOLE DESIGN | 1 HYATTSVILLE TRANSIT CIRCULATOR FEASIBILITY STUDY | FINAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to resident demand for a high-quality transit connection from the Gateway Arts District to other key destinations, the Hyattsville City Council commissioned a study to evaluate the feasibility of a local transit circulator. This study assesses the operational and financial viability of a high-frequency circulator service in Hyattsville. Study Approach This report considered factors such as public survey results, existing trip patterns, interviews with peer circulator systems in the DC metro area, information from Prince George’s County Department of Public Works & Transportation (DPW&T) and private bus circulator operators and a national study of downtown circulators from around the country. Building on these factors and incorporating additional datasets, two routing plans and a ridership projection were developed. What is a Circulator? A transit circulator is a localized transit system that provides direct, frequent service between neighborhoods, commercial areas and other activity centers, and even other regional transit hubs (i.e. Metro, MARC) within a community. What We Learned Some key takeaways from this Report: • Survey Respondent Preferences: o Respondents support a circulator that operates seven days a week, including mornings and evenings. o Out of 71 respondents, 64 percent would be willing to pay up to $1.00 per ride. o 73 percent of respondents would be willing to wait up to 15 minutes for the bus.
