12 th Annual What You Need To Know About Transportation THE NEXT 25 YEARS: VRE’S CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES DOUG ALLEN CEO, VIRGINIA RAILWAY EXPRESS

WHO WE ARE Commuter rail service 2 Commissions, 9 Jurisdictions Safe, Reliable, High Customer Satisfaction 4.5 million riders 14 14

WHAT WE DO We add peak capacity… Currently 5,400 peak seats/hour …in corridors of statewide significance… I-66, I-95 & I-395 …for longer-distance commuters… Travelers that would otherwise drive on highways* …using non-highway rights-of-way CSXT, NS & Amtrak 15 15 * Source: Texas A&M Transportation Institute Congestion Relief Provided by Virginia Railway Express

VRE BE NE F IT S T O CoSS “…contribution to congestion relief is significant…” “…much greater congestion benefit in the evening peak period…” “…contributes to a delay reduction of between 8 and 18%...” “… doubling VRE ridership from single-occupant vehicles yields 13 percent delay reduction for all traffic…” 16 16 Full TTI report available at http://www.vre.org/about/studies-and-reports/

VRE SYSTEM PLAN 2040  Longer trains  More trains  Longer platforms  Station parking  Second platforms at stations  More trains/locomotives, railcars  Third track on CSX  Yard expansion, storage tracks  Gainesville-Haymarket Extension  Long Bridge 17 17

VRE FINANCIAL PLAN KEY FINDINGS  Growth scenarios  Steady State, Natural Growth, Full System Plan  Key findings  Operating expenses escalate faster than revenues  Capital costs exceed expected sources, particularly outside of NVTA  Today’s service is not sustainable over time  Additional revenue can result in more riders 18 18

VRE FINANCIAL PLAN SUMMARY OF FINDINGS $66.4M $44.5M $41.7M 19 19

VRE FINANCIAL PLAN SUMMARY OF FINDINGS $66.4M TODAY’S SERVICE IS NOT SUSTAINABLE OVER TIME $44.5M $41.7M 20 20

VRE FINANCIAL PLAN SUMMARY OF FINDINGS $66.4M INCREASING RIDERSHIP HELPS $44.5M $41.7M 21 21

VRE FINANCIAL PLAN SUMMARY OF FINDINGS $66.4M ADDITIONAL REVENUE CAN RESULT IN EVEN MORE RIDERS $44.5M $41.7M 22 22

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS  The I-66, I-95 and I-395 CoSS are some of the most congested in Virginia.  VDOT has/will max out capacity in these corridors.  VRE is the only viable option for significant additional capacity in these corridors.  VRE is limited by current funding.  VRE needs dedicated funding to continue and to provide significantly more capacity in these CoSS. 23 23

12 th Annual What You Need To Know About Transportation REGIONAL EXPRESS BUS HOW REALISTIC, HOW SOON? KATE MATTICE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

Bus Services are Integral to the Northern Virginia Transit Network • Northern Virginia’s seven bus operators provide more than 41 million trips a year (28 percent of all transit trips) • Approx. 75 percent of Northern Virginia bus trips connect to Metrorail • Northern Virginia bus systems operate over 500 buses a day (in addition to 445 WMATA buses)

NOVA’s Bus Network Covers the Region Percent of Transit Riders Who Take Bus Jurisdiction Residents Workers Arlington 23% 21% Alexandria 30% 31% Fairfax Co 22% 66% Loudoun 32% 99%

Bus Service in NOVA is Greater than four largest Virginia systems Annual Bus Revenue Hours 3,000,000 Fairfax City Loudoun 2,500,000 Arlington 2,000,000 PRTC Alexandria Hours 1,500,000 Fairfax WMATA (NOVA) 1,000,000 Blacksburg Charlottesville 500,000 Richmond Hampton Roads - NOVA Non-NOVA Northern Virginia has twice as much bus service as compared to the combination of the four other largest transit markets in Virginia.

The Region has Great Opportunities to Optimize the Bus Network Build High Capacity/ Maximize Use of Frequency Transit HOV/HOT Lanes (BRT) (Express Bus) Opportunities Improve Travel Time Enhance (Stop Consolidation & Cross-Jurisdiction Bus TSP) Operations Optimizing the bus network can optimize the transportation network.
