The document discusses the proposed High Quality Transit Network Concept being reviewed by the Board of Supervisors Transportation Committee. It provides an overview of the study process and purpose, which is to establish the most effective way to serve planned growth in the County through improved public transit. The proposed concept builds upon existing transit investments to create an interconnected network of commuter and local transit routes, including 104 miles of new routes and 53 new stations integrated with express bus services. It is anticipated to increase transit access and ridership while reducing vehicle travel and encouraging transit-oriented development.

Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

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.

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.
