Proposed
High Quality Transit Network Concept
1
2
Establish most effective
way to serve the
County’s needs to
accommodate planned
growth over the long
term by improving public
transit usage.
Update Enhanced Public
Transportation Corridors
(EPTC) with High Quality
Transit Network (HQTN)
and further define
modes and station
locations.
Study purpose
2
Where are we in the study process?
We are at the third of our four stages of public
involvement and review:
• Goals/objectives (July 2012)
• Functions (November 2012)
• Proposed HQTN Concept (July 2013)
• Final concept (November 2013)
Our next steps are to:
• Review Proposed HQTN Concept
• Consider refinements
• Develop additional details on mode, right-of-
way, and station locations
• Finalize recommendations

Fairfax County Future Development Concept
Support future development concept, serve activity centers
The type of premium transit service appropriate for each
corridor will reflect the traveler needs and land use
context in that corridor.
Source: Center for Transit Oriented Development
5
Destination corridors, like the Crystal City
Potomac Yards transitway, connect
neighborhoods to multiple activity
centers, functioning primarily to provide
access.
Commuter corridors, like Virginia Railway
Express, primarily serve one major
activity center and tend to focus on
journey-to-work trips and function
primarily to provide mobility.
District circulators, like the planned
Tysons Corner Circulator, enhance
mobility within an activity center or group
of adjacent centers.
5
Transit Corridor Function
The November 2012 public meeting presented outcomes for different
functional concepts for a High Quality Transit Network. The access focus
attracts more total transit riders whereas the mobility focus provides better
access to regional jobs. Both had a similar benefit in reducing vehicle travel.
Mobility focusAccess focus
6
Transit Network Functional Concepts
Constituents value multiple
objectives:
• Increase access to
destinations
• Include both high demand
commuter and TOD
destination corridors
• Increase transit ridership
• Take cars off the road
• Encourage TOD
• Support Countywide vision
for managed growth
• Be affordable
• Be understandable/usable
• Be connected
A total of four concepts were
reviewed in November. The
Proposed High Quality Transit
Network Concept utilizes the best
ideas from each for a context-
sensitive fit to individual corridor
needs.
7
Development of Proposed HQTN Concept
Proposed HQTN Concept
The Proposed HQTN
Concept builds upon the
existing and Constrained
Long Range Plan (CLRP)
transit investments to
create an interconnected
network of commuter and
destination corridors,
supported by connecting
express bus routes.
8
Existing High Quality
Transit Network
elements serving Fairfax
County include Metrorail
and VRE with supportive
express bus services on
HOV/HOT lanes.
9
HQTN Concept Elements
Constrained
Long Range
Plan transit
connections provide
starting point for
Proposed HQTN
Concept:
• Silver Line (Metrorail)
• Columbia Pike (Streetcar)
• Beauregard/Van Dorn
Transitway (TBD)
10
HQTN Concept Elements
The recommendations
will be coordinated with
ongoing current studies
• Route 7 High Occupancy
Toll lane study
• I-66 Tier 2 Environmental
Impact Statement
• Route 7 Alternatives
Analysis
• Route 1 Alternatives
Analysis
11
HQTN Concept Elements
Commuter Corridors
provide capacity to
connect Fairfax County
with other jurisdictions
for longer-distance trips
as region expands over
time:
• Metrorail Orange Line
Extension
• Metrorail Blue Line
Extension
12
HQTN Concept Elements
Destination Corridors
provide service to support
access to and within
transit-oriented
development along linear
corridors:
• Route 7 Light Rail Transit
(LRT)
• Richmond Highway LRT
• Route 28 LRT/Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT)
• Merrifield/McLean LRT/BRT
13
HQTN Concept Elements
North-South Express Bus
Services connect activity
centers and support HQTN
services in radial corridors
and provide flexibility for
through-routing:
• Beltway Express (Enhanced)
• Fairfax County Parkway
• Route 28
• Bus lanes may also include
HOV/HOT
14
HQTN Concept Elements
East-West
Express Bus Services
support HQTN services,
augment grid of direct
and flexible transit
connections:
• Route 50 – Orange Line
bus bridge function
• Route 236 – continuation
of Alexandria transitway
• Express bus route mileage
at least 50% managed
lanes
15
HQTN Concept Elements
The Proposed HQTN
Concept includes 104
miles of new HQTN routes
with 53 new stations.
These routes include:
• 31 miles & 9 Stations
Metrorail
• 73 miles & 44 Stations
LRT/BRT
Supported by:
• 110 miles & 21 stations
Express Bus
16
HQTN Concept Elements
Measures of effectiveness
17
The Proposed HQTN Concept achieves a range of triple-
bottom line goals and objectives.
18
Measures of effectiveness
2050 weekday peak period ridership compares favorably
to other regional transit routes
Measures of effectiveness
Other Highlights:
• The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new transit
access to 28 activity centers with higher than
average levels of transit ridership propensity based
on transit dependency.
• The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new
destination corridor transit routes to serve activity
centers with developable properties and
designated revitalization areas.
• The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new transit
access to activity centers with key retail/service
destinations.
19
20
Measures of effectiveness
• Capital cost per
passenger is a measure
of cost effectiveness.
• Higher cost projects can
bear higher capital costs
per passenger due to
operating efficiencies
• New Starts approvals
indicate current
federal/local funding
climate
• Proposed High Quality
Transit Network projects
compare favorably
Supporting feeder
bus, park and ride
(beyond existing or
TDP/CLRP
spaces), and
circulator systems
will provide
broader access to
commuter
services and
increased
coverage within
larger activity
centers.

Fairfax County Countywide Transit Network Study: Board of Supervisors Transportation Committee-June 25, 2013

  • 1. Board of Supervisors Transportation Committee June 25, 2013 Proposed High Quality Transit Network Concept 1
  • 2. 2 Establish most effective way to serve the County’s needs to accommodate planned growth over the long term by improving public transit usage. Update Enhanced Public Transportation Corridors (EPTC) with High Quality Transit Network (HQTN) and further define modes and station locations. Study purpose 2
  • 3. Where are we in the study process? We are at the third of our four stages of public involvement and review: • Goals/objectives (July 2012) • Functions (November 2012) • Proposed HQTN Concept (July 2013) • Final concept (November 2013) Our next steps are to: • Review Proposed HQTN Concept • Consider refinements • Develop additional details on mode, right-of- way, and station locations • Finalize recommendations 3
  • 4. 4 4 Fairfax County Future Development Concept Support future development concept, serve activity centers
  • 5. The type of premium transit service appropriate for each corridor will reflect the traveler needs and land use context in that corridor. Source: Center for Transit Oriented Development 5 Destination corridors, like the Crystal City Potomac Yards transitway, connect neighborhoods to multiple activity centers, functioning primarily to provide access. Commuter corridors, like Virginia Railway Express, primarily serve one major activity center and tend to focus on journey-to-work trips and function primarily to provide mobility. District circulators, like the planned Tysons Corner Circulator, enhance mobility within an activity center or group of adjacent centers. 5 Transit Corridor Function
  • 6. The November 2012 public meeting presented outcomes for different functional concepts for a High Quality Transit Network. The access focus attracts more total transit riders whereas the mobility focus provides better access to regional jobs. Both had a similar benefit in reducing vehicle travel. Mobility focusAccess focus 6 Transit Network Functional Concepts
  • 7. Constituents value multiple objectives: • Increase access to destinations • Include both high demand commuter and TOD destination corridors • Increase transit ridership • Take cars off the road • Encourage TOD • Support Countywide vision for managed growth • Be affordable • Be understandable/usable • Be connected A total of four concepts were reviewed in November. The Proposed High Quality Transit Network Concept utilizes the best ideas from each for a context- sensitive fit to individual corridor needs. 7 Development of Proposed HQTN Concept
  • 8. Proposed HQTN Concept The Proposed HQTN Concept builds upon the existing and Constrained Long Range Plan (CLRP) transit investments to create an interconnected network of commuter and destination corridors, supported by connecting express bus routes. 8
  • 9. Existing High Quality Transit Network elements serving Fairfax County include Metrorail and VRE with supportive express bus services on HOV/HOT lanes. 9 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 10. Constrained Long Range Plan transit connections provide starting point for Proposed HQTN Concept: • Silver Line (Metrorail) • Columbia Pike (Streetcar) • Beauregard/Van Dorn Transitway (TBD) 10 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 11. The recommendations will be coordinated with ongoing current studies • Route 7 High Occupancy Toll lane study • I-66 Tier 2 Environmental Impact Statement • Route 7 Alternatives Analysis • Route 1 Alternatives Analysis 11 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 12. Commuter Corridors provide capacity to connect Fairfax County with other jurisdictions for longer-distance trips as region expands over time: • Metrorail Orange Line Extension • Metrorail Blue Line Extension 12 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 13. Destination Corridors provide service to support access to and within transit-oriented development along linear corridors: • Route 7 Light Rail Transit (LRT) • Richmond Highway LRT • Route 28 LRT/Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) • Merrifield/McLean LRT/BRT 13 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 14. North-South Express Bus Services connect activity centers and support HQTN services in radial corridors and provide flexibility for through-routing: • Beltway Express (Enhanced) • Fairfax County Parkway • Route 28 • Bus lanes may also include HOV/HOT 14 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 15. East-West Express Bus Services support HQTN services, augment grid of direct and flexible transit connections: • Route 50 – Orange Line bus bridge function • Route 236 – continuation of Alexandria transitway • Express bus route mileage at least 50% managed lanes 15 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 16. The Proposed HQTN Concept includes 104 miles of new HQTN routes with 53 new stations. These routes include: • 31 miles & 9 Stations Metrorail • 73 miles & 44 Stations LRT/BRT Supported by: • 110 miles & 21 stations Express Bus 16 HQTN Concept Elements
  • 17. Measures of effectiveness 17 The Proposed HQTN Concept achieves a range of triple- bottom line goals and objectives.
  • 18. 18 Measures of effectiveness 2050 weekday peak period ridership compares favorably to other regional transit routes
  • 19. Measures of effectiveness Other Highlights: • The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new transit access to 28 activity centers with higher than average levels of transit ridership propensity based on transit dependency. • The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new destination corridor transit routes to serve activity centers with developable properties and designated revitalization areas. • The Proposed HQTN Concept provides new transit access to activity centers with key retail/service destinations. 19
  • 20. 20 Measures of effectiveness • Capital cost per passenger is a measure of cost effectiveness. • Higher cost projects can bear higher capital costs per passenger due to operating efficiencies • New Starts approvals indicate current federal/local funding climate • Proposed High Quality Transit Network projects compare favorably
  • 21. Supporting feeder bus, park and ride (beyond existing or TDP/CLRP spaces), and circulator systems will provide broader access to commuter services and increased coverage within larger activity centers. 21 CLRP/TDP Park and Ride lot (>50 spaces) HQTN Park and Ride lot / expansion Circulator (Fort Belvoir: DOD only) Supporting policies
  • 22. • Public meeting Government Center July 10 @ 6:00 p.m. • Response to comments and further stakeholder coordination • Mode, ROW, station, and typical section requirements • Phasing and timing • Comprehensive Plan Amendment(s) 22 Next steps
