Northern Virginia Highlights HB 599 HB 2 Project Prioritization State of Good Repair Funding Express Lanes Improvements Transform 66 Transportation Demand Management Connected Vehicles Initiatives

HB 599: Evaluation of Significant Transportation Projects in Northern Virginia Provides detailed ratings based on seven performance measures selected in cooperation with stakeholders and the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority Congestion is the highest rating factor (45%) Measures how well a project mitigates congestion NVTA uses the congestion ratings as part of its project-funding formula

HB 2: Funding the Right Transportation Projects Directed Commonwealth Transportation Board to develop a statewide prioritization process (2014) Invests limited tax dollars in projects that meet the most critical transportation needs in Virginia Must use objective measures for six factor areas Must consider highway, transit, rail, road, operational improvements and transportation demand management projects ** Post-Construction: (for example, operating funds start in 2021 with $6.5 M and increase yearly) $523 million new funding recommended for Northern Virginia projects FY2017-2022

State of Good Repair Funding For FY17-18: Structure and Bridge: $15.2 million Duke Street over I-395 Gallows Road over Arlington Boulevard CTB vote in June Paving: $6.1 million 39 lane miles Focus on eastbound Route 50 (Loudoun/Fairfax) 10 miles northbound Route 29 in Arlington

Northern Virginia Express Lanes Network By 2021, an 84-mile seamless network of express lanes Faster and more reliable trips for drivers, carpoolers, and transit users

95/395 Corridor Express Lanes Northern Extension Converting two existing HOV to three express lanes, 8 miles north to D.C. line Extensive coordination – Pentagon, Arlington, Alexandria, D.C., etc. Draft financial plan expected fall 2016 Construction 2017, open 2019 Being completed under 2012 Comprehensive Agreement with 95 Express Lanes, LLC. The Framework Agreement was signed in November 2015.

95/395 Corridor Express Lanes Southern Extension Extend 2.2 miles south past Garrisonville bottleneck Approximately $50 million; half funded by state, half Transurban Construction begins this summer. SB ramp opens late 2017; NB ramp summer 2018 With both projects, total 37.5 miles from Stafford to D.C.

I-66 Corridor Inside the Beltway Drivers legally use lanes during rush hours by paying variable toll; carpools continue to use for free Contract award to build tolling infrastructure and develop/install system expected at June CTB Construction begins this summer, tolling begins summer 2017 Estimated $60 million Multimodal improvements funded by toll revenue to support transit, TDM, and other initiatives benefitting the I-66 corridor (selected by NVTC under 40-year agreement with Commonwealth) Recent public hearings for input on 10 endorsed projects worth $9.8 million total; CTB vote in June Benefits include enhanced bus service, bus stop improvements, transit information and incentives programs, transit access.

I-66 Corridor Eastbound Widening Widening to three lanes from Dulles Connector Road to Ballston (about four miles) Construction 2018 to 2020 $140 million funded with increased revenues from recently passed federal transportation bill

I-66 Outside the Beltway Two express lanes each direction from I-495 to Gainesville with variable toll Three general purpose lanes Safety and operational improvements at key interchanges Estimated cost $2.1 billion Cross-section, Gainesville to Manassas, Centreville to Beltway

Overview of Multimodal Improvements

Multimodal Improvements Expanding travel choices for transit, carpooling, vanpooling and other alternatives: New park-and-ride lots offering 4,000 spaces by late 2020 New/enhanced commuter bus service New/upgraded bicycle/pedestrian paths in Fairfax and Prince William, with new crossings of I-66

I-66 Outside the Beltway Current focus: Advance procurement with private sector and completing final environmental work Recent public hearings on public-private procurement and conversion of HOV-2 to HOT-3 (late 2020) 13 proposals with two strong P3 teams competing Private partner to be chosen in September with comprehensive agreement by end of year Design public hearings early 2017 Construction mid-2017; open late 2020/early 2021

I-66 Corridor Total Benefit Expanding travel choices, ride-share planning, park-and-ride capacity New and expanded transit service Lanes managed to be free-flowing at all times Improve speed reliability (to 45mph or better) Create opportunities for improved level of service of parallel routes Provide revenue stream support to multimodal components on I- 66 and complementary corridors

Transportation Demand Management VDOT oversees/funds $2.1 million to Commuter Connections and Commuter Operations Center (FY17) Includes Guaranteed Ride Home, marketing, monitoring, evaluation Coordination with MDOT and DDOT Local agency funding FY17: $645,000 to employer outreach Telework!VA Northern Va. program funding and co-management with DRPT Funding member of Clean Air Partners, educating public on ground-level ozone and greenhouse gases Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Center (MATOC) funding member Regional SafeTrack impact mitigation

Transportation Demand Management Transform 66 Program including: Transportation Management Plan: $35 million for TDM, transit, traffic operations, local network operations, traffic engineering and analysis, construction of Haymarket Park & Ride l $10 million for additional multimodal projects to be approved by CTB for distribution by NVTC to local jurisdictions Post-construction: Multimodal program continues to be funded by developer at amounts/times set in agreement Ongoing inventory and $4 million of upgrades to state ADA curb ramps Working with DRPT to ensure rail, transit, TDM elements are included in highway projects, and documented as part of the Six-Year Improvement Program process (per VDOT Business Plan) Coordination to encourage TDM projects in NVTA’s Transaction plan ** Post-Construction: (for example, operating funds start in 2021 with $6.5 M and increase yearly)

Virginia Connected Corridors Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and VDOT partnership Northern Virginia connected-vehicle test bed includes I-66, I-495, U.S. 29 and U.S. 50 60 roadside equipment units

Virginia Connected Corridors Researchers across the Commonwealth testing and implementing connected applications for: traveler information enhanced transit operations lane closure alerts work zone/worker alerts incident management VCC test app – traveler information Road crew test app

Virginia Automated Corridors Initiative 2015 Governor’s Proclamation allows road testing under VTTI Led by VTTI with VDOT, Transurban and HERE Builds on existing connected corridors; differs from other testbeds in providing on-road, real-world environment Government, manufacturers, suppliers can test and certify systems Advances development, testing, deployment of automated-vehicle technology Ultimate goal: Helping stakeholders create robust automated and autonomous vehicles

Virginia Automated Corridors Initiative Smart Road (VTTI) Controlled test environment Virginia International Raceway Reconfigurable track, high-speed operations, elevation changes, complex curves Northern Virginia Express Lanes Open operational environment, limited-access I-66, I-495, and I-95 Testing details and challenges of public roadway systems VDOT has agreed to keep at least a portion of the pavement markings on the VAC in superior condition (automated vehicles of today rely on visual image processing to “see” the pavement markings to keep the vehicle in the lane) Potential expansion to any public road to satisfy unique test requirements
