WMATA Real-Time Parking Information Feasibility Study Study Area Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION The focus of this study is on the potential feasibility of real-time parking information applications at four Virginia Metrorail stations, namely: • Franconia/Springfield • Vienna/Fairfax • Van Dorn • West Falls Church Report Presentation This report is a condensed compilation of a series of technical memoranda. The report covers the basic tasks, highlighting the proposed technology and the benefits of the realtime parking application. Subsequent chapters include: • Chapter 2: Existing Parking Conditions • Chapter 3: Best Practices Review • Chapter 4: Real-Time Parking Technology • Chapter 5: Options and Preferred System for WMATA • Chapter 6: Pilot Project Concept The technical memoranda that can be referred to for more information include: • Existing Parking Conditions (July 9, 2008) • Evaluation of Practices in Real Time Parking Information (July 3, 2009) • Technical Memorandum Task 3B: Requirements and Technologies (March 2009) • Technical Memorandum Task 3C: Supporting Applications for Real-Time Parking Information (March 2009) • Technical Memorandum Task 3D: System Concept for Generic WMATA Station (May 2009) • Technical memorandum Task 4: Pilot Project Concept Page 1-2 June 2009
WMATA Real-Time Parking Information Feasibility Study Chapter 2 EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS This chapter addresses the relevance of real-time parking information applications through the assessment of existing parking conditions. The analysis showed that Park and Ride facilities at all four of the stations reach extremely high level of usage, resulting in potential delays for driving access to available parking spaces during the morning peak period. It is concluded that real-time parking information would help commuters at these stations. WMATA operates more than 18,000 Park and Ride spaces in its system so that customers have access via personnel vehicles to the Metrorail stations in addition to other modes of access including bus, waling and bicycling. In Northern Virginia, WMATA has the Metrorail Orange, Blue, and Yellow lines that carry more than 170,000 daily boardings at the Virginia stations. The Orange Line reaches out along I-66 westwards towards Vienna and Fairfax, Virginia. The Blue Line extends essentially southward along US 1 and then west along I-495/I-95 (Capital Beltway) towards Springfield. An inventory of existing conditions was performed in early 2008. Regional Setting Four WMATA Metrorail stations were selected for detailed parking studies including: • Franconia/Springfield on the Blue Line • Vienna/Fairfax on the Orange Line • Van Dorn on the Blue Line • West Falls Church on the Orange Line Figure 2-1 depicts the location of these stations in their regional context. Both the Vienna/Fairfax and Franconia/Springfield stations are located outside the I-495 Capital Beltway, whereas the West Falls Church and Van Dorn stations are just inside the I-495 Capital Beltway. Interestingly, I-66 is HOV-2 eastbound from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM and westbound from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM inside the I-495 Capital Beltway; consequently, single occupancy vehicle commuters accessing the West Falls Church station from the peak direction of travel must do so via other routes or violate the HOV regulation.
