Page 229 Employer Satisfaction Survey 2019 (October 2019)…………………………………………………..…………………………Page 236 BACKGROUND The first formal transportation demand management efforts for the Washington D.C. region began in the early 1970s, under the name 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 alternative transportation 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 (GRH) 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. Initially started as a DC-centric event by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, in 2001, Bike to Work Day was rolled out as a regional entity by Commuter Connections. 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 region and to subsequently increase the use of alternative forms of commuting. In 2008, Commuter Connections began coordinating Car Free Day as a regional event. In 2009, Commuter Connections introduced a carpool incentive project, ‘Pool Rewards, which was expanded in 2012 to include vanpools. In 2010, Commuter Connections expanded its Guaranteed Ride Home program to include the Baltimore region and St. Mary’s County. With origins beginning in 1974, Commuter Connections celebrated its fortieth year of service in 2014. In 2016, Commuter Connections introduced CarpoolNow, a real-time ridesharing mobile app. In 2017, Commuter Connections launched Flextime Rewards, developed in conjunction with the University of Maryland. The system sends notifications to commuters when heavier than normal traffic congestion is detected along their route, during peak travel periods. In 2019, Commuter Connections and the Maryland Transportation Institute at the University of Maryland launched incenTrip, a mobile app with personalized and real-time features to guide commuters to individually adjust their travel choices in exchange for rewards via the accumulation of points that can be redeemed for cash. Today, the Washington, DC region has some of the worst congestion in the country, however,

  • 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.
