Book excerpt: As Metro stretches to Tysons Corner and beyond, this paperback edition features a new preface from the author. Drivers in the nation's capital face a host of hazards: high-speed traffic circles, presidential motorcades, jaywalking tourists, and bewildering signs that send unsuspecting motorists from the Lincoln Memorial into suburban Virginia in less than two minutes. And parking? Don't bet on it unless you're in the fast lane of the Capital Beltway during rush hour. Little wonder, then, that so many residents and visitors rely on the Washington Metro, the 106-mile rapid transit system that serves the District of Columbia and its inner suburbs. In the first comprehensive history of the Metro, Zachary M. Schrag tells the story of the Great Society Subway from its earliest rumblings to the present day, from Arlington to College Park, Eisenhower to Marion Barry. Unlike the pre–World War II rail systems of New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, the Metro was built at a time when most American families already owned cars, and when most American cities had dedicated themselves to freeways, not subways. Why did the nation's capital take a different path? What were the consequences of that decision? Using extensive archival research as well as oral history, Schrag argues that the Metro can be understood only in the political context from which it was born: the Great Society liberalism of the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations. The Metro emerged from a period when Americans believed in public investments suited to the grandeur and dignity of the world's richest nation. The Metro was built not merely to move commuters, but in the words of Lyndon Johnson, to create "a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community." Schrag scrutinizes the project from its earliest days, including general planning, routes, station architecture, funding decisions, land-use impacts, and the behavior of Metro riders. The story of the Great Society Subway sheds light on the development of metropolitan Washington, postwar urban policy, and the promises and limits of rail transit in American cities.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Phase 1 of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's Silver Line on the broad regional transportation system, and specifically on the road network operated by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). All of the data used in this study were aggregate and were provided by transit agencies and VDOT. The study used geographic information systems to visualize transit demand and regression and the Mann-Whitney U test to identify patterns, estimate new transit demand, and determine whether road changes were significant. Some, but not all, Silver Line ridership appeared to be drawn from the Orange Line, resulting in traffic pattern changes between the two lines. This finding was supported by the ridership on the two lines and changes at intersections in the south of Reston and intersections near the West Falls Church Metro Station. The regression analysis showed that the Silver Line attracted approximately 20,000 new rider trips (trip ends counting both exits and entrances separately) on a typical weekday. Ridership at the Wiehle-Reston East Station showed a strong pattern of commuting traffic, with a detectable morning and afternoon peak for entries and exits, respectively. Changes in the intersection counts in Reston supported this pattern. However, the numbers of entries and exits during the same time period for the other four stations were more balanced. Ridership supported reverse commuting with the Silver Line. Some mode or route shifts appeared to occur in the Reston area, suggested by improved travel times on VA-267 between Route 28 and Hunter Mill Road in the AM peak and in the Tysons Corner area, suggested by improved travel times on I-495 between I-66 and Route 7 and intersection count changes at Chain Bridge Road and International Drive. Another travel pattern shift in the Tysons Corner area appeared to be the avoidance of the interchange of Route 7 and Chain Bridge Road, particularly suggested by changes at the intersection just west of this interchange. The majority of the road data suggested general growth in the region, which hid some of the benefits of the Silver Line. The new ridership allowed for some accommodation of new traffic and traffic rebalancing across routes.
