OTP struggled for the first week as the track remained out of service (the schedule had to change on November 12 for several reasons). With the exception of Train 511, all rush hour trains have performed well since the out of service track was returned to service on the afternoon of November 15. Several off‐peak trains (e.g. 412, 414, 424) continue to experience delays between West Baltimore and Penn Station holding for late Amtrak trains. Specific to Trains 511 and 610, there have been unforeseen scheduling conflicts and necessary train routing requirements that have caused delays to this train. Amtrak and MARC Train management have been engaged in this issue since the November 12 schedule change. Effective last Thursday, equipment and crew assignment changes have taken place which have resulted in better operation of Train 511. Delays to 610 have been a result of the late operation of Train 511 (crew/equipment) and this train will begin to see improved performance as well. Penn Line weekend service did not experience any significant issues. Camden Line trains continue to struggle due to CSX freight train interference and ongoing CSX trackwork, which will continue through the remainder of the year. It should be noted that while morning OTP to Washington is low (87%), evening OTP headed out of Washington has improved significantly (97%). The Brunswick Line continues to experience CSX freight train interference as well. However, the source of most delays was an unusually high number of Police/Fire events: the November 5 incident near Gaithersburg with Amtrak #29 and the November 20 fatal hit‐and‐run adjacent to the station at Gaithersburg. If these events had not taken place, Brunswick Line OTP would be 92% instead of 88%.

    Item #3 [Type text] Page 1 FY15 Washington Reg. TDM Resource Guide & Strategic Mktg Plan Final Report 12-16-14 Page 2 FY15 Washington Reg. TDM Resource Guide & Strategic Mktg Plan Final Report 12-16-14 Page 3 BACKGROUND The Washington metropolitan region initiated its first formal transportation demand management efforts in the early 1970s with Commuter Club, which was established by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), the General Services Administration, and the Greater Washington Board of Trade to provide basic ridematching for carpools and vanpools. In subsequent years, the program grew into a COG-coordinated network of local rideshare agencies, and in 1989, it became the Ride Finders Network which provided free information and computerized ride matching services to area residents seeking to join car or vanpools or locate appropriate transit arrangements and park-and-ride locations. In 1996, the regional network was renamed Commuter Connections. In 1997, Commuter Connections expanded its services to include regional telework assistance and resources, its first website, a regional Guaranteed Ride Home program, information on bicycling to work, InfoExpress commuter information kiosks, and free assistance to employers for the development and implementation of alternative commute programs and benefits. In 1998 Commuter Connections began to honor employers in the region through the Employer Recognition Awards program. In 2000, Commuter Connections rolled out Bike to Work Day as a regional entity, initially started as a DC based event by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. In 2003, Commuter Connections expanded its marketing efforts through the implementation of a regional mass marketing measure. The purpose of the measure was to brand the Commuter Connections name as the umbrella organization for commuter transportation information in the Washington Metropolitan area and to subsequently increase the use of alternative forms of commuting.

  • History of MDOT MTA and the Lots System
    History of Transit Organization in the Baltimore Region Transit Agencies and Service Development in the Baltimore Region OVERVIEW The Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Study will develop alternatives for how the region could structure, organize, and fund regional transit services. The approach to developing these alternatives includes working with the Baltimore Regional Transit Board (BRTB) through an iterative process of research, analysis, and stakeholder input to ensure that the alternatives are grounded in experience, respectful of history and constraints, but creative enough to recognize opportunities. This technical memo, the first in the series, focuses on the history and development of transit services in the Baltimore Region. The first step involves focusing on the history and development of transit Image from Creative Commons: ETLamborghini services in the Baltimore region to understand how the existing service network came to be and provides the context for why some regional services are operated by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) and others by Locally Operated Transit Systems (LOTS). Our goal is that by understanding the historical perspective, we will understand the transit network, its origins and evolution and its current form. The overview and historical perspective include the development and evolution of: • State leadership for local transit services in the City of Baltimore. • State leadership for regional transit services, including the MARC commuter rail system and the Commuter Bus program.

  • Mcfrs Community Risk Analysis and Standards of Cover
    MCFRS COMMUNITY RISK ANALYSIS AND STANDARDS OF COVER Fire Station 20 Battalion 2 Bethesda Station 9041 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda Description – Ownership: Volunteer – Employees: 3 Shift Work – Apparatus Housed: Engine – Specialty Team: Hazmat – First Due Area: 4.05 mi2 – Volunteers: totaled in with the sister company Fire Station 6 Overview Bethesda, Station 20, is surrounded by important institutions, not only for their medical breakthroughs and clandestine facilities but for the employment opportunities given to the area. The businesses and institutions bring a large number of people into Station 20’s first due area during rush hour but also the two federal hospitals and research facilities bring people from all over the world. Scattered around the different facilities are quiet residential communities that have been settled for the most part since WWII. Because it is a hazmat house, two certified hazmat technicians must comprise at least two of the three-person staffing on the engine. The engine responds to hazmat incidents for additional staffing for the Hazmat Team, and Station 20 personnel certify annually by completing NFPA 472 competencies which is completed as a monthly drill .
