    I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study Executive Summary prepared for Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation prepared by KFH Group, Inc. and Cambridge Systematics, Inc. with LDA Consulting MCV Associates, Inc. PRR, Inc. August 2017 I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study Executive Summary Study Overview The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to expand and convert the two existing reversible High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in the I-395 corridor to three managed High Occupancy Toll (HOT), or Express lanes for approximately eight miles from just north of Edsall Road to just north of Eads Street near the Pentagon. Tolling of the new I-395 Express lanes will begin in 2019. The purpose of the I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study is to identify a comprehensive, fiscally unconstrained, set of transit and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) investments on which future toll revenues from the I-395 Express lanes may be invested. Potential investments include new and expanded bus and rail transit services, transit capital projects, commuter parking facilities, TDM program enhancements, and technology improvements that support transit and TDM – all with the intent of maximizing person throughput to support economic development and quality of life for communities along the corridor. The study included three key phases: Project Background and Needs Assessment – This phase of the study laid the groundwork for developing strategies, conducting analysis, conversing with stakeholders and the public, and reaching consensus on recommendations; Planning and Analysis – This was an interactive phase, with multiple rounds of feedback between analysis and stakeholder review and comment; and Plan Development and Delivery – This phase developed the recommendations from the prior phase into real solutions that State, regional, and local partners can proceed with towards implementation.

  • Transportation Is a Key Component of Everyday Life
    6. Multimodal Connectivity & Accessibility 6 Overview Transportation is a key component of everyday life. The places it connects people to and how safe, predictable, and reliable it is affects community quality of life. Transportation costs are also the second largest household expense after housing. It is for these reasons that sustainable, connected, and integrated transportation is fundamental to sustained success and livability of the city. Transportation Impacts Transportation not only impacts the way people move in a city and access day-to-day needs but also has a significant impact on the shape of communities. The transportation network’s design directly affects how people use it. Streets designed with the sole purpose of moving vehicles – with wide travel lanes and no sidewalks – will only attract more cars and the land uses that serve those needs. On the other hand, transportation networks designed to serve people – with bike facilities, wide sidewalks, and other pedestrian accommodations – will attract more pedestrians and bicyclists and support active, livable communities. The transportation network should both inform and respond to the surrounding context, and provide safe accommodations for all users. In order to achieve the vision and goals of this Plan, it is important to focus on enhancing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access throughout the West End. Example of a well-balanced multi-modal street. 6-1 Mode Share Travel in Falls Church already includes walking, bicycling, and transit use, as well as driving. The current mode split between different modes of travel, for commute trips originating in the city differs fairly significantly from the mode split for all daily trips – trips to work, the gym, the store, to visit friends, etc.

  • Countywide Transit Network Study Executive Summary
    FAIRFAX COUNTY HIGH QUALITY TRANSIT NETWORK STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY JUNE 2016 What Is A High Quality Transit Network? A High Quality Transit Network provides high travel speeds and reliable travel times for both rail and bus transit vehicles on exclusive or managed rights-of-way that allow transit vehicles to avoid traffic congestion. The 2015 Fairfax County Transportation Plan, shown in Exhibit 1, includes a concept for a High Quality Transit Network to connect places both within and beyond the County’s borders. The green lines in Exhibit 1 show the Enhanced Public Transportation Corridors as currently included in the Transportation Plan Map. Two corridors in the adopted Transportation Plan Map are identified as Metrorail corridors: the Silver Line Extension, which is underway; and an Orange Line Extension to Centreville. The remaining Enhanced Public Transportation Corridors are currently mode-neutral. The Countywide Transit Network Study was initiated to analyze the Comprehensive Plan’s Enhanced Public Transportation Corridors, evaluate if changes to those corridors are needed, and provide more specific planning guidance including: • How the planned corridors can best serve as an interconnected network, • What transit functions, technologies, and station locations will be most effective to help serve the objectives of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The proposed High Quality Transit Network combines Metrorail, commuter rail, light rail transit (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT), and express bus services into an integrated transit system connecting the County’s activity centers with each other and to the rest of the region, providing a sound platform for the County’s economic and quality of life objectives.

  • Conceptual Engineering Executive Summary of Final Report
    ENVISION ROUTE 7 Conceptual Engineering Phase III October 31, 2019 Envision Route 7 Phase III November 5, 2019 ES 1 Executive Summary The Envision Route 7 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is planned as a high performing BRT service that connects the Mark Center in Alexandria to Tysons through Bailey’s Crossroads, Seven Corners, and Falls Church. The project is part of a network of BRT services being planned, designed, and implemented to better link Northern Virginia that includes the Metroway BRT in the City of Alexandria and Arlington County, the West End Transitway in the City of Alexandria, and the Embark Richmond Highway BRT in Fairfax County. The Envision Route 7 project will serve the Route 7 corridor and will operate in the West End Transitway infrastructure from Route 7 to the Mark Center. High performing transit in the Route 7 corridor has been in the planning phase for more than five years. Early phases of the Envision Route 7 project found the need for transit in the broad corridor from Alexandria to Tysons, identified BRT as the transit technology to serve the corridor and defined an alignment for the service to travel along. Detailed analysis was undertaken in these early efforts to identify potential transit ridership, suggest the location for BRT operations within the roadway, also known as runningway, and select general station locations. Phase III, the current effort of the Envision Route 7 project, focuses on updating the initial runningway assumptions and identifying the specific station locations so that the needed rights-of-way (ROW) can be identified and a cost estimate may be determined.
