The Silver Line: $5.6 Billion Project Connecting the DC Region • Seamless integration with current Metro system • 23-mile extension branches off existing Orange Line after East Falls Church Station, providing direct connections to DC without transfers • Connects Dulles Airport to Tysons Corner, Reagan Airport, DC and suburban Maryland • 11 new stations • 5 in Phase 1 (open) • 6 in Phase 2 • Phase 1: East Falls Church to Wiehle Avenue in Reston; opened July 2014 • Phase 2 (6 stations): Wiehle Avenue through Dulles Airport to Ashburn; under construction; 92% complete It’s been a long, challenging road 1962: Washington-Dulles International Airport opens, Access Road median slated for transit 1964: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reserves median of Dulles International Airport Highway for future transit service to airport 1966: President Lyndon Johnson signs bill creating the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority It’s been a long, challenging road 1994-2006: After decades of studies, business and political leaders got serious about rail to Dulles and prepared a Major Investment Study (MIS), an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), a Locally Preferred Option Analysis and, finally, Preliminary Engineering conducted by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 2007: Agreement with MWAA to manage the construction of the Project and take over the Dulles Toll Road 2009: Federal Grant to MWAA March 2009: Construction of Phase 1 begins March 2014: MWAA transfers control of the line to WMATA June 2014: Opening date of July 26 announced July 26, 2014: Silver Line opened for passenger service 7 Early Goals • To provide high-quality, high- capacity rail service in the Dulles corridor. • To spur redevelopment in aging Tysons and Reston/Herndon, and to ensure ongoing state and regional economic dominance. • Tysons and Reston are Virginia’s largest employment center • To provide rail access to Dulles International Airport. • Connecting Dulles and Reagan National airports by rail. 8 Silver Line Vision Unfolds Early Decisions – Environmental Impact Statements A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project was completed in June 2002. This Draft EIS evaluated several alternatives, including three Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) options, a combined BRT/Metrorail alternative and a full Metrorail extension. Public hearings on the Draft EIS were held in July 2002. Based on extensive public comments and input from local jurisdictions, the full extension of Metrorail was recommended as the preferred option or Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project was approved by the WMATA Board of Directors in November 2002 and Virginia's Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) in December 2002. The project was also endorsed by the Fairfax County, Loudoun County and MWAA Boards. Following these approvals, a Final EIS was published in December 2004 and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued its Record of Decision approving the environmental process in March 2005. 9 Silver Line Phase 1 Alignment Phase 2 Phase 1 10 Phase 1 Stations Phase 1 Phase 1 includes five stations along 11.7 miles. Four are in Tysons Corner and the fifth, which serves as the temporary terminus, is on the eastern edge of Reston. McLean Station (aerial). Tysons Corner Station (aerial).

  • Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons
    Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons and Outcomes 10 Years Later.” Mercatus Working Paper, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, June 2020. Abstract Following the allocation of funds for a new line on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Metrorail system, the Board of Supervisors in Fairfax County, Virginia, undertook redevelopment planning for its Tysons area. The redevelopment plan was the first of its kind. The board adopted a comprehensive plan that established the objective of transforming Tysons from highway-oriented suburban office park development into a walkable, mixed-use area. The redevelopment effort has received extensive attention for its goal to turn a highly car-oriented area into walkable, transit-oriented development. But what is perhaps more notable about the Tysons redevelopment planning effort is its objective to allow extensive multifamily housing construction in a wealthy suburban community. So far, more progress has been made toward the goal of housing construction than walkability.

    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.

  • Public Comment Letters
    Virginia Sierra Club Comments on Northern Virginia Transportation Authority 2015‐16 Plan March 23, 2015 The Virginia Sierra Club supports the development of a balanced transportation system that expands our transportation choices. We have seen in Northern Virginia that when there is a steady investment in multi-modal systems, a far higher share of trips are made by bicycling, walking and transit, and traffic congestion has not increased even with economic and population growth. We appreciate the deliberate and transparent manner in which NVTA has developed the criteria for rating road and transit projects. However, we believe that NVTA’s current project evaluation, prioritization and selection processes overlook the value of expanding mode choices and improving accessibility within and between activity centers. Highway and arterial expansion can lead to temporary congestion relief, but induced traffic quickly refills the expanded capacity. It is transit and transit-oriented development that offer the best long-term transportation approach because they maximize transit, walking and bike trips, and reduce the necessity of car ownership and use. Every person who can live and/or work in a transit-oriented community is a regional transportation benefit. Localities and regions that have invested in a wide range of infrastructure accommodating all travel modes, and that are concentrating development near transit, have had the most success in managing traffic while also increasing economic development. During the past thirty years Arlington has focused growth near transit while planning new pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. It has seen dramatic economic growth and a dramatic increase in trips – without any discernible increase in traffic.

  • Do You Anticipate Any Changes to the Reverse Commute Bus Service Between West Falls Church and Verizon/AOL When Then Silver Starts?
    Silver Line Bus Service Comments December 2013 Page 1 Do you anticipate any changes to the Reverse Commute bus service between West Falls Church and Verizon/AOL when then Silver starts? Why is there no service from Dulles South? Your proposed new schedule from Ashburn-area stops into Tysons is not adequate. I will not take a bus to the Silver Line, to then take a train into Tysons, to then take another bus to my workplace (USA Today). That's too many transfers and too many fares. It will be easier to just drive to work. I am a huge fan of the bus service from Ashburn into Tysons. And I know that a lot of other people are too. It is convenient and efficient. I appreciate that you are keeping some of this service, but you need a later return bus than what you have on this schedule. Currently, I usually take the 6:07 or the 6:37 return bus from USA Today (BL6 or BL7). You need to maintain an equivalent to at least one of those runs. I cannot be sure to be done with work by 5:30. If you had one more later returning run, this would work for me. With your proposed schedule as it exists, I do not see myself ever riding the bus again. And I would prefer to ride the bus rather than drive. Why would I want to go to Spring Hill Metro, if I could get on metro at Wiehle. You have ALL buses that pick-up in Leesburg bypass the Wiehle-Reston station?!? That is just short-sided!! There are NO buses from South Riding and Chantilly and NO early buses from Dulles North.
