6 Previous Studies and Efforts Route 1 has been the subject of numerous roadway and transitrelated studies and efforts. Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan Mount Vernon District Long Range Visioning Report BRAC EIS / BRAC Existing Conditions Report VDOT Location Study / Corridor Study Fairfax Connector & PRTC TDP WMATA Regional Bus Study Richmond Highway Public Transportation Initiatives BRT Feasibility Study (Prince William County) Potomac Communities, Urban Land Use Institute Report North Woodbridge Study Area Long Range Plan WMATA US 1 Fort Belvoir to Huntington Metro Rail Station ~ Transit Improvement Study Prince William County BRAC Report NVTC ~ Route 1 Corridor Bus Study

7 Transit Related Recommendations Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan Implement enhanced transit service along Richmond Highway, such as Metro, Light Rail, Bus Rapid Transit Establish transit stations at North Kings Hwy; at Beacon Hill Road; near Fordson Lane; near Mohawk Lane; near Sacramento; near Railroad line on Fort Belvoir Base; and at Telegraph Road Fairfax County Transit Development Plan Modify schedule for Metrobus 11Y Mt. Vernon Express Line trips Restructure and Improve Metrobus REX service Increase service and revise routing on Connector 151/152 and 161/162 Prince William County Comprehensive Plan Identify and develop alternative transit concepts such as bus rapid transit, light rail transit, Potomac ferry service, Metro Rail extension (Blue Line) to Potomac Mills WMATA Transit Service Impacts of BRAC Report Extend PRTC s Route 1 OmniLInk Route from Prince William County to South Post entrance and improving connections to existing transit centers by extending the Metrobus REX line to Lorton VRE and improve local bus connections to the Franconia Springfield Station Prince William County / PRTC BRT Feasibility Study (2011) Implement two local BRT routes to service the PRTC Transit Center and the Route Commuter Lot as land use and ridership demand increase to support the investment To offset travel time due to traffic congestion implement queue jump lanes and transit signal priority 7 7

8 Transit Related Recommendations Continued Mount Vernon District Visioning Task Force (2010) Implement a peak period HOV/bus lane on Richmond Highway Encourage VDOT to install traffic responsive technology on all of the traffic signals in the Mount Vernon District Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission TDP OmniLink Route 1 Extension to Ft. Belvoir (timeframe ) Improve weekday peak period service frequency from 30 minutes to 20 minutes, Improve weekday midday service frequency from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, Improve weekday night service frequency from 45 minutes to 30 minutes, Improve Saturday service frequency from 110 minutes to 60 minutes, and Add Sunday service at a frequency of 110 minutes VDOT Centerline Study (2009) Widen Route 1 from Capital Beltway to the Stafford County line with accommodations for trails and transit bus pullouts in key locations 8

9 Transit Related Recommendations Continued WMATA US 1 Ft. Belvoir to Huntington Metro Station Transit Improvement Study Three phases of recommendations: Phase one ( ) Streamline bus service and routes Add GPS and SmartCard payment technology to buses Implement signal priority in the corridor for buses Improve/enhance pedestrian and passenger facilities Phase two ( ) Implement Bus Rapid Transit Phase three (2025+) Implement light rail transit in the corridor as ridership demand and land use density and development will support the major capital investment 9

10 Roadway Infrastructure Recommendations Widen Route 1 from the Capital Beltway to the Stafford County line with accommodations for trails, right shoulder bus lane pull offs and shelters at high demand stops Encourage VDOT to install traffic responsive technology on all of traffic signals in the Mount Vernon District Procure and Deploy Traffic Signal Priority on Richmond Highway Improve pedestrian network along the corridor and passenger experience at bus stops (e.g., shelters) 10 10

11 Legislative Action Senate Joint Resolution (SJR 292) 2011 General Assembly Session Requesting the Department of Rail and Public Transportation to evaluate the level of study necessary to identify and advance potential public transportation services to Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County and the Marine Corps Base at Quantico in Prince William and Stafford Counties 11

12 SJR 292 Recommendations Near term Improve conditions for transit operations and riders: Conduct necessary study and analysis to implement BRT Conduct pedestrian facility and shelter assessment and develop a funding strategy to improve the existing conditions Focus redevelopment to the corridor Long term Plan for the future: Conduct land use analysis and develop a vision for economic development/redevelopment in the corridor Feasibility analysis to determine potential for extending metro or implementing light rail 12

13 Route 1 Multimodal Alternatives Analysis Study Outcomes Recommend a program of multimodal transportation improvements for adoption by Fairfax County and Prince William County Define transit, roadway,and bicycle/pedestrian projects that could be advanced for implementation. 13

14 Purpose and Need Needs: Attractive and competitive transit service Safe and accessible pedestrian and bicycle access Appropriate level of vehicle accommodation Support and accommodate more robust economic development Goals: GOAL 1: Expand attractive multimodal travel options to improve mobility GOAL 2: Improve safety; increase accessibility GOAL 3: Increase economic viability and vitality of the corridor GOAL 4: Support community health and minimize impacts on community resources 14

24 Recommendation BRT in mixed traffic through Prince William County Widen roadway to six continuous lanes Continuous bicycle and pedestrian facilities Median running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the near term would provide a cost effective transportation solution to support economic development plans. Metrorail extension to Hybla Valley in the longterm has potential to provide a higher level of local and regional mobility and support longterm corridor development, contingent upon increased future land use density.

34 Evaluation of Alternatives: Findings Check out Board 4 for full evaluation results! Slide in Progress 34

35 Recommendation Evaluation results suggest: Median running Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the near term would provide a cost effective transportation solution to support economic development plans. Metrorail extension to Hybla Valley in the longterm has potential to provide a higher level of local and regional mobility and support longterm corridor development, contingent upon increased future land use density. 35

36 Traffic Analysis Findings Scenario 1 (MWCOG 2035 Growth Forecast) Addition of median transit lanes: Improves transit travel time Incrementally increases automobile travel time Left turns impacted Does not significantly degrade overall intersection performance Segment Travel Time (min) Auto travel time Transit travel time Auto travel time No Build 2035 Build Transit travel time (Janna Lee Ave. to Huntington) 36

37 Traffic Analysis Conclusions Major growth is anticipated With project investment, need: Network of local streets Schools Parks Public safety Metrorail growth levels require significantly more infrastructure investment than BRT levels 37

38 4 Transportation and Land Use 38

39 Transportation investment supports economic viability and vitality of the corridor Population growth Employment growth Demand for new residential units and commercial space Land use planning Transportation investment Support high quality community development 39

59 Lessons Learned Land use to support transit is complex, involving many elements. Stakeholders easily misunderstood the multimodal center types as a rule rather than a tool. Must be carefully communicated. Visuals (artist depictions, diagrams, infographics) are critical for communicating ideas about density and urban design, and the tradeoffs for creating high quality transit investments. N 59
