  • Transit Service Design Guidelines
    Transit Service Design Guidelines Department of Rail and Public Transportation November 2008 Transit Service Design Guidelines Why were these guidelines for new transit service developed? In FY2008 alone, six communities in Virginia contacted the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation about starting new transit service in their community. They and many other communities throughout Virginia are interested in learning how new transit services can enhance travel choices and mobility and help to achieve other goals, such as quality of life, economic opportunity, and environmental quality. They have heard about or seen successful transit systems in other parts of the state, the nation, or the world, and wonder how similar systems might serve their communities. They need objective and understandable information about transit and whether it might be appropriate for them. These guidelines will help local governments, transit providers and citizens better understand the types of transit systems and services that are available to meet community and regional transportation needs. The guidelines also help the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) in making recommendations to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for transit investments, by 1) providing information on the types of systems or services that are best matched to community needs and local land use decisions, and 2) ensuring that resources are used effectively to achieve local, regional, and Commonwealth goals. Who were these guidelines developed for? These guidelines are intended for three different audiences: local governments, transit providers and citizens. Therefore, some will choose to read the entire document while others may only be interested in certain sections.

  • March Beacon Final.Pdf
    Dear Neighbor, Last week, County Executive Bryan Hill presented his Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal. The presentation kicks off our budget process and, like last year, I will be listening to your thoughts, concerns, and reactions before adoption of the final budget on May 4. To that end, on Tuesday, March 30, at 7:00 p.m., I will be hosting a virtual Braddock District Budget Town Hall and the Board of Supervisors will conduct public hearings April 13-15. Homeowners should have received their annual real estate tax assessment and this helpful video explains the assessment process. Additional information on both the town hall and public hearings will be included in next week’s Walkinshaw Advisory email. After public hearings and approval by the Board, Fairfax County has joined our neighboring jurisdictions in banning the use of plastic bags for yard waste. While this change went into effect on March 1, 2021, there is a grace period until April 19, 2021. I encourage everyone to review this yard waste article for helpful tips and reminders on how to manage your yard waste in an environmentally friendly way. Shifting gears to the COVID-19 vaccine, the Fairfax County Health Department has finished sending first-dose invitations for people who registered on January 18, and they are now sending invitations to registrants from January 19. The latest county dashboard reflects this update. Some of our older residents have struggled to find transportation options to get to their vaccination appointments. Fortunately, Fairfax County and compassionate community providers have numerous options to get residents to their appointments.

    PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT V.4.0 7/20/18 STATION DESIGN GUIDELINES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) provides public transportation throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. The Authority’s 2,600 employees operate, maintain, and support bus, light rail, incline, and paratransit services for approximately 200,000 daily riders. Port Authority is currently focused on enacting several improvements to make service more efficient and easier to use. Numerous projects are either underway or in the planning stages, including implementation of smart card technology, real-time vehicle tracking, and on-street bus rapid transit. Port Authority is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors – unpaid volunteers who are appointed by the Allegheny County Executive, leaders from both parties in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate, and the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board holds monthly public meetings. Port Authority’s budget is funded by fare and advertising revenue, along with money from county, state, and federal sources. The Authority’s finances and operations are audited on a regular basis, both internally and by external agencies. Port Authority began serving the community in March 1964. The Authority was created in 1959 when the Pennsylvania Legislature authorized the consolidation of 33 private transit carriers, many of which were failing financially. The consolidation included the Pittsburgh Railways Company, along with 32 independent bus and inclined plane companies. By combining fare structures and centralizing operations, Port Authority established the first unified transit system in Allegheny County. Participants Port Authority of Allegheny County would like to thank agency partners for supporting the Light Rail Transportation Station Guidelines, as well as those who participated by dedicating their time and expertise.

  • Fairfax County Parkway Widening Appropriation Cancellation
    VI. NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY M E M O R A N D U M TO: Chair Phyllis J. Randall and Members Northern Virginia Transportation Authority FROM: Michael Longhi, Chief Financial Officer DATE: February 6, 2020 SUBJECT: FY2020 Regional Revenue Fund Appropriation Cancellation – Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway ________________________________________________________________________ 1. Purpose: To seek Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) budget de-appropriation action for the Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project. This action does not change the project’s status as an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program. 2. Suggested Motion: I move the Authority cancel the FY2020, $67 million appropriation for the Fairfax County Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project, reclassifying the funds in the Regional Revenue Fund from appropriated to restricted. 3. Background: a. The Authority adopted the FY2018 – 2023 Six Year Program on June 14, 2018. b. The Authority appropriated $67 million for this project on April 5, 2019. c. To maintain compliance with Policy 29 – Project Activation, Monitoring and De-Appropriation, projects are expected to execute a Standard Project Agreement (SPA) within three months of appropriation. d. NVTA projects with appropriations are expected to start drawing project funds in the year of appropriation. e. At this time, Fairfax County reports schedule changes related to project phasing and addressing public comments. f. To better match appropriations with expenditures, Fairfax County requests to defer the FY2020 appropriation. This will allow the project the greatest amount of timing flexibility. g. The project will remain an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program, with secure funding pending a future appropriation.
