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 [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

  • 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.
