Multiple examples of satellite lots are found throughout the metropolitan Washington region.<br />

The Prince George’s County-owned Clinton Park & Ride Lot serves the southern Green Line<br />

with 100 parking spaces <strong>and</strong> direct bus service to Branch Avenue <strong>and</strong> <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> stations.<br />

Prince George’s County includes several examples of shared-use satellite lots as well: Capital<br />

Plaza in L<strong>and</strong>over, Eastover Shopping Center in Oxon Hill, <strong>and</strong> Penn-Mar Shopping Center<br />

in Forestville. The <strong>Metro</strong>rail <strong>Station</strong> <strong>Access</strong> Alternatives Study found that several transit agencies<br />

nationwide have implemented successful shared-use satellite lots with dedicated feeder<br />

services, including Metra (Chicago, Illinois), Orange County Transit Authority (suburban Los<br />

Angeles, California), <strong>and</strong> Sound Transit (Seattle, Washington). The study concluded that such<br />

configurations were most successful at stations with overwhelming dem<strong>and</strong> for parking <strong>and</strong><br />

high quality feeder services.<br />

Advantages<br />

• Exp<strong>and</strong>s developable station area if on-site parking is shifted to satellite lots<br />

• Increased utilization of existing underused parking near the station<br />

• Disperses traffic if multiple satellite lots are used<br />

• Can increase bus ridership<br />

Disadvantages<br />

• Limited availability of l<strong>and</strong> for new satellite lots near <strong>Metro</strong>rail stations<br />

• Requires an additional transfer to reach final destination<br />

• Additional expense for local governments to construct <strong>and</strong>/or maintain facility<br />

• Potential additional expense for transit agency if new or improved bus/shuttle service is<br />

required<br />

• Parking is limited to certain time periods for lots with shared-use agreements<br />

• Local <strong>com</strong>munities may oppose additional parking<br />

• Contractual hurdles to over<strong>com</strong>e in setting up shared-use agreements.<br />
