  • TOOLKIT for RIDERS Brought to You by Godcgo
    Plan Ahead for WMATA’s Platform Improvement Project You’ve got options and goDCgo can help. ORANGE / SILVER 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) focusing 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 using public transit. WHAT IS THE PLATFORM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT? During summer 2020, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Association (WMATA) will reconstruct four Orange Line platforms and connect the Silver Line to Metrorail’s existing network. Starting Saturday, May 23, all Orange and Silver Line stations west of Ballston will be closed and Silver Line service will be temporarily suspended. Orange Line service will run from Ballston to New Carrollton. There will be no Silver Line service. 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. During this time, free express and local shuttle buses will be available to provide alternative travel options for essential workers. To best handle the station closures, commuters should prepare

  • Chapter 2 of the Draft EIS, BRT Stations Would Have Been Similar to Metrorail Stations
    2.0 Alternatives Considered A. Draft EIS Comments Federal Agency Comments Need for Implementation of the Full Metrorail Alternative Federal Comment: BRT stations and stops should be designed as if they were rail stations. (0492 02) Response: The Project Team recommended and the decision-makers selected the Metrorail Extension with Alignment T6 in Tysons Corner as the Locally Preferred Alternative. BRT was eliminated from further consideration after the public and interagency review and comment on the Draft EIS. As described in Chapter 2 of the Draft EIS, BRT stations would have been similar to Metrorail stations. BRT stops would have had Metrorail like amenities, such as a fare pavilion with ticket vending machines and faregate arrays. Stops may also have included bus bays for feeder buses, a Kiss & Ride area for short-term parking, and commuter park-and-ride spaces. Federal Comment: For portions of the project in the freeway medians, air rights above the freeway right- of-way should be transferred and developed so that walkable uses can be placed within ¼ and ½ mile from the stations. (0492 03) Response: As stated in Chapter 5 of the Final EIS, the land use plans adopted by local government within the Dulles Corridor all contain guidelines to support transit, higher densities, mixed-use development, and walkable, bike-friendly development patterns in close proximity to the transit stations. DRPT will work with the local governments to support access to transit stations for pedestrians and cyclists and to implement transit-oriented development initiatives, although implementation of this form of development on private land is under the jurisdiction of the local government’s in the area.

The Site is located 12 miles west of Washington D.C. in Fairfax County. The Site is planned for a mix of mid- to high-density residential, retail, hotel and office. The Concord Group (“TCG”) completed market analyses and product program recommendations for each product type planned for the Site. The following report and exhibit package outlines TCG methodologies and summarizes key conclusions relative to market conditions and revenue and absorption potential for the Site. TCG believes the Site represents an attractive mixed-use development opportunity.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fairfax County Silver Line Station Names
    FAIRFAX COUNTY SILVER LINE STATION NAMES: STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS, SURVEY RESULTS, AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION Nick Perfili, Dulles Rail Project Planner Fairfax County Department of Transportation April 10, 2012 BACKGROUND On March 29, 2011, the Board of Supervisors endorsed recommended names for the Fairfax County Silver Line stations. These names were reviewed by staff from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). WMATA staff informed the County that all but two of the proposed station names (Tysons I&II and Reston Town Center) were repetitive, confusing, or not distinctive enough to assist in way-finding and travel on Metrorail (“Tysons,” “Tysons,” “Tysons,” “Tysons;” “Reston,” “Reston;” “Herndon–Reston,” “Herndon”). WMATA’s staff recommendation was based in part on customer research that included both riders and non-riders of the Metrorail system. Ultimately, the WMATA Board of Directors rejected the station names submitted by Fairfax County. As a result of the WMATA Board action and Supervisor Hudgins’ July 26, 2011, Board Matter, Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) staff, in partnership with WMATA staff, worked to engage the public on Silver Line station names that fit WMATA’s Station Naming Policy. The policy states station names should be: Relevant: Identify station locations by geographical features, centers of activity or be derived from the names of cities, communities, neighborhoods or landmarks within one-half mile (walking distance) of the station; Brief: Limited to 19 characters with spaces and punctuation, including both primary and secondary names; Unique: Distinctive and not easily confused with other station names; and Evocative: Evoke imagery in the mind of the patron.
