The new “N6” route will run between Potomac Yard and Old Town Alexandria (King/Washington) via Slater Lane and Old Town North. The direct connection between the new Potomac Yard Metrorail and the heart of Old Town Alexandria will run every 30 minutes, seven days per week. • DASH AT-10 stays the same.

  • Transit Chapter Policies Will Guide the City’S Decision-Making Around Investments That Support Policies Will
    Transit How the City supports improvements to bus, paratransit, and rail services by working to enhance transit options and access. 26 | ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN | DRAFT Chapter Layout | 1 ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN Introduction A robust public transportation system is a key ingredient to a successful community mobility strategy. The 2020 Alexandria Transit Vision Plan has provided a road map to achieve a future frequent, all-day bus network in Alexandria. This chapter will outline transit-supportive policies and strategies that will help the City achieve the 2030 vision of making bus service more convenient, customer-friendly, reliable, and efficient and will build upon the three transitway corridors established in the 2008 Transportation Master Plan. This chapter also considers Metrorail, intercity and commuter rail, and paratransit (transportation for persons who are unable to use traditional bus and rail service) to strengthen critical links between Alexandria and the region. This [2030 proposed] network provides frequent, all- day transit service to 83 percent of people and 81 percent of jobs in Alexandria. – Alexandria Transit Vision Plan 2 | Transit Transit | 3 ALEXANDRIA MOBILITY PLAN Key Context 17% of the Alexandria workforce is employed in sectors 12 such as healthcare, food services, and hospitality5 DASH bus routes, including the King Street Trolley Limited midday, evening, and weekend DASH service means that many workers with non-traditional work hours or who are dependent on 28 700+ 4 transit for other needs must find other

  • Crystal City-Potomac Yard Transitway Service Plan
    Customer Service and Operations Committee Board Information Item III-A May 9, 2013 Crystal City-Potomac Yard Transitway Service Plan Page 3 of 74 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary MEAD Number: Resolution: Action Information 200049 Yes No TITLE Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway Overview PRESENTATION SUMMARY Briefing on the Crystal City Potomac Yard (CCPY) Transitway including project update, service overview and branding work. PURPOSE To brief Committee members on the CCPY Transitway project and Metro’s role in assisting Alexandria and Arlington with implementation of the new premium transit service. DESCRIPTION New transit service will be provided on a five-mile corridor connecting Pentagon City, Crystal City and Braddock Road Metrorail Stations. Key Highlights: The CCPY corridor will have four-miles of dedicated right-of-way with 33 platforms at 20 station locations, off-board fare collection to speed passenger boarding, and customer amenities at each station. Service will be provided on uniquely branded vehicles that clearly identify the service. Arlington and Alexandria are finalizing the CCPY Transitway operating plan, and associated costs are included in the Metro FY2014 operating budget. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY On February 28, 2013, the Board approved an amendment to the FY2013 Capital Reimbursable project budget and authorized the General Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Alexandria to purchase six 40-foot buses for CCPY Transitway. DISCUSSION The CCPY Transitway will be the first right-of-way dedicated exclusively to premium bus operations in the Washington metropolitan area. Known in the transit industry as bus rapid transit, this Corridor features bus-only lanes that reduce traffic congestion, and enable buses to improve travel time and reliability.
