Washington Metro
History
Metro construction at the shipyard in 1989
During the 1960s, there were plans for a Massive highways in Washington, but the opposition to the highway system has increased. Harland Bartholomew, who chaired the Planning Commission Capital thought that a national rail system would be self-sufficient because of low density use of land and the general deterioration passengers in transit. Finally, common notion of a system of Capital Beltway, with the radial railway line has been agreed. The Beltway received full funding, the funding of the ambitious inner loop highway network has been reassigned to the part of the system construction Metro.

In 1960, the federal government created the Office Transportation of the nation's capital to develop a rapid rail system. In 1966, a bill establishing the WMATA has been approved by the Government Federal, District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland, with power system planning for the transfer of the NCTA.
Inside a Car rehabilitated Breda
WMATA has approved plans for a regional system of 98 miles (158 km) in 1968 and construction began in 1969 with Innovative December 9. The means for opening March 27, 1976, to 4.6 miles (7 km) on the red line with five stations in Rhode Island Avenue to Farragut From North all in the District of Columbia. Arlington County, Virginia, has been connected to the system July 1, 1976, Montgomery County, Maryland, February 6 1978, Prince George's County, Maryland, November 20, 1978, and Fairfax County, Virginia and Alexandria, Virginia, December 17, 1983.
The 103 miles (166 km), the system of 83 stations was completed by the opening phase of the Green Line to Branch Avenue January 13, 2001. This does not the end of system growth: an extension of 3.22 miles (5.18 kilometers) from the Blue Line to Largo Town Center and Morgan Boulevard opened on December 18, 2004. The first filling station in New York in line U Avelorida Aveallaudet Rouge, between Union Station and Rhode Island Ave Brentwood, opened November 20, 2004, and provides an extension of the Dulles Airport.

requires the construction Metro billions of federal dollars initially provided by Congress under the authority of the Transportation Act of the National Capital 1969 (Public Law 91-143). The cost was paid with federal funds 90% and 10% in local currency. This law was amended January 3, 1980 Public Law 96-184, "National Capital Transportation Amendment of 1979" (also known as the Stark-Harris Act), which authorized additional funding $ 1.7 billion to enable the implementation of 89.5 miles (144.0 km) from the system as provided under an agreement executed total funding WMATA in July 1986, which requires 25% is paid by local funds. On November 15, 1990, PL 101-551, "The National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1990, authorized an additional $ 1.3 billion in federal funds for construction of the remainder 13.5 miles (21.7 km) 103 miles (166 km) of the system, supplemented the implementation of agreements on the total grant funding, with 63% federal/37% local correspondent.
The largest number of users for a single day was the day of the inauguration of Barack Obama January 20, 2009, with 1.12 million passengers. It beat the previous record set the day before the trip 866,681. Provides multiple passengers in June 2008 records: they put the passengers in a single month record total of 19,729,641 passengers, a record for the largest number of passengers per week on average, with 772,826 trips on weekdays, there were five days of the ten largest passenger and had 12 days of the week in which number more than 800,000 passengers travel.
In February 2006, Metro officials have chosen Randi Miller, an employee of a car dealership in Woodbridge, Virginia, the new album, "Open House" "Closed doors" and "please stay away from the door, thank you" ad after winning a competition to replace posts recorded by Sandy Carroll in 1996.

Map scale system
Since its opening in 1976, the network Metro has grown to include five lines, 86 stations and 106.3 miles (171.1 km) runway. The rail network is designed as a distribution model speak cube with lines of railway between downtown Washington and its suburbs nearby. The system makes extensive use of interlining, more than one service running on the same track. There are five lines of operation and a line under construction

There are 40 stations in the District of Columbia, 14 Prince George's County, 12 in Montgomery County, 11 in Arlington County, 6 Fairfax County and three in the city of Alexandria. The silver line will add 11 new stations, 8 in Fairfax County to Loudoun County and three in Virginia.
About 50 miles (80 km) Roads metro is underground, as did 47 of the 86 stations. Subways in particular in the district and suburbs with high density. Accounts runway surface about 46 miles (74 km) of the total, and the track makes 9 miles (14 km). At 196 feet (60 meters) below the surface, the line of Forest Glen Station Red is the most deep in the system. No stairs, high speed elevators take 20 seconds to travel the street from the station platform. Wheaton station, near Forest Glen Station Red Line, is the second longest continuous escalator in the world, the longest in the Western Hemisphere, 230 feet (70 m). The station is Rosslyn station Nearest Deep Orange / Blue Line to 97 feet (30 meters) below street level. The station has the third longest continuous escalator in the world-205 feet (62 m), a tour on the stairs of the street and mezzanine takes about two minutes.
The system does not focus on a single station, but Metro Center is at the intersection of the Red Cross, orange and blue lines, the three busiest lines. The station is also the location of the head of sales WMATA. Metro has designated five base stations "that have a high volume of passengers, including: Gallery Placehinatown Transfer Station for the Red, Green and Yellow lines: L'Enfant Plaza transfer station orange, blue, green and yellow lines, Union Station, the busiest by passenger boardings, Farragut North and Farragut West. To cope with the number high passenger in the transfer stations, Metro is studying the possibility of creating pedestrian links between the stations closest transfer Nuclear. For example, a passage of 750 feet (230 m) between Metro Center and Gallery Place stations allow passengers to transfer between the orange / blue and yellow / green, no stop lines of the red line. Another tunnel between the Farragut West Station and Farragut North authorize transfers between the red and orange / blue lines, reducing transfer request at the Metro Center, an estimated 11%.
Metro operates the configuration of services on holidays and special events when Washington may require additional services. The activities of the Independence Day Metro necessary for basic services to provide capacity and further to the National Mall. WMATA made similar adjustments in other events such as presidential inaugurations. Metro service has been modified and used some stations as inputs or outputs to help to manage congestion.
Rolling stock
Article: Washington Metro rolling stock
Rohr train cars arriving at the station Cheverly
Metro fleet of 1126 cars, each 75 feet (23 m) long. The trains have a maximum speed of 59 mph (95 km / h), and an average of 33 miles per hour (53 km / h) including stops. All cars work as married partners (consecutively numbered even-odd), with systems shared between the pair. Metro currently operates 850 cars for hours advanced. 814 cars are in active service, and the 36 other cars that make up gap to serve as backup should encounter problems with the trains.
Metro Equipment stock was acquired in six phases and each version of the car is identified with a serial number separately. The initial order of 300 cars (290 are in service in June 2009 [Update]) was manufactured by Rohr Industries, with final delivery in 1978. These cars are numbered 10001299 and rehabilitated the mid-1990s. Breda Costruzioni Railway (Breda) produced the second order of 76 vehicles delivered in 1983 and 1984. These cars, numbered 20002075, have been rehabilitated in the 2000s by Alstom in Hornell, New York. A third order of 288 cars, also from Breda, were delivered between 1984 and 1988. These cars are numbered 30003291 and rehabilitated by Alstom in the 2000s. An order of 100 cars from Breda, the number 40,004,099 were delivered between 1992 and 1994. A fifth order of 192 cars were manufactured by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) Spain. These cars are numbered and 50005191 were delivered between 2001 and 2004. A sixth order of 184 vehicles from Alstom Transport has been delivered between 2005 and 2007. The cars have the body constructed in Barcelona, Spain, complete set in Hornell, New York.
The 7000 series cars in development are expected to enter the beginning service in 2012. The new vehicles will be different from previous models which operate as peers instead of quads. The new design will increase the passenger capacity, elimination of redundant equipment, greater energy efficiency and low maintenance costs. Metro plans eventually purchase cars to 748 increase the capacity of the system and replace its stock of older inventory.
Signaling and operation
Main article: Washington Metro signaling and operation
During normal operation of a passenger in the sources of income, Trains are controlled by a control operation speed integrated control system and automatic train accelerates and brakes of the train automatically without operator intervention. However, all trains are operated with railway operators to close the doors (which can be set to open automatically), make announcements in stations and control trains. The operator can manually drive the train if necessary.
Security
Main article: Metro Transit Police Department
Planners designed the subway system with passenger safety and order maintenance as primary considerations. The arches of open design of stations and platforms allow some limited opportunities for obstruction conceal criminal activities. platforms are built outside the walls of the station to limit vandalism and provide diffuse light station Recessed lights. Metro tries to reduce crime, and how the environments of the season have been designed with crime prevention in mind has helped Metro is one of the cleanest and safest metro systems in the United States.
Metro is patrolled by its own police force, which is responsible for ensuring the safety of passengers and employees. Transit Police officers patrol the subway system and Metrobus, which has jurisdiction and powers of arrest throughout the service area 1.500 square miles (3,900 km2) Subway crimes that occur in facilities or against the authority transit, or within 150 feet (46 meters) of a Metrobus stop. The Metro Transit Police Department is the only agency of the United States the police have the power to police local in three different "state" level administrations (Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia).
Each city and county in the service area Metro have similar ordinances which regulate or prohibit distributors Metro in the ownership of your property, and prohibit a driver eating, drinking or smoking in the subway trains, buses and train stations, transit police have the reputation strictly enforce these laws. An incident occurred largely released in 2000 when police arrested a 12-year-old to eat chips French Station Tenleytown-AU. In a 2004 review by John Roberts, now Chief Justice United States, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed the arrest of the girl. WMATA had replied then the negative publicity by adopting a policy the original issuance of warnings to minors, and they stop after only three violations within a year.
tolerance policy Metro zero power, garbage and other sources of disorder embodies the windows "broken" philosophy of reducing crime. This philosophy also extends to the use of toilets in the station. A long-standing policy to curb the activity illegal and unwanted, has been to allow employees to use only Metro services. station managers may make exceptions passengers with young children, the elderly or disabled. Metro now supports the use of toilets for passengers who request permission a station manager, except during periods of increased terror alerts.
Random bags
On October 27, 2008, the Metro Transit Police Department has announced plans to immediately begin random searches of backpacks, handbags and other bags. traffic police seek driver before getting randomly in a bus or entering a station. He also explained his intention to arrest anyone acting suspiciously. Metro argues that United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit decision MacWade v. Kelly, who confirmed the random searches in the subways of New York, with the Metro Transit Police to take similar measures. Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn said that if someone were to turn around and just connect with another escalator or a lift, Metro has "a plan to address the suspicious behavior." Bruce Schneier, security expert has characterized the plan " security theater against a movie plot threat "which means he does not believe that these random searches will actually help improve security.
Metro Riders Advisory Council has recommended that managers WMATA Metro board to hold at least one public meeting on the research program. Since December 2008 [] update, Metro has not made a single bag search.
Accidents
Main article: Incidents in the Metro Washington
Several accidents have occurred in the Washington metropolitan area, causing injuries and deaths, as well as numerous derailments have little or no injury. WMATA has been criticized for failing to follow safety instructions and advice of experts. The Tri-State Committee WMATA surveillance monitors, but has no regulatory power. subway security service is usually responsible for investigating incidents, but can not require other departments Metro to implement their recommendations.
Collisions
Accident at Shady Grove station in January 6, 1996
During the Blizzard of 1996 January 6, a subway operator died when a train failed to stop at the Shady Grove station. The train has passed four cars of the train station platform and was struck during a job vacancy. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation revealed that the accident was the result of a failure of computer-controlled system of train braking. The NTSB recommended that operators Metro trains offer the possibility to manually control the braking system, even in bad weather, and recommended that prohibit subway cars parked track used by trains of entry.
Accident station Parkoo Woodley / Adams Morgan November 3, 2004
On November 3, 2004, Rest a Red Line train was traveling backwards in the station Parkoo Woodley / Adams Morgan and struck a stationary train on the platform service. Nobody was killed but 20 people were injured. A 14-month investigation concluded that the train driver was more likely not to alert the train was backwards into the station. security officials said that the train was full at least 79 are dead. The train driver was shot and Metro officials have decided to add protection for the recovery of more than 300 railway cars.
On June 22, 2009 at 17h02, two trains collided on the red line. A train heading south to Shady Grove on the track stopped Fort Totten station and a southbound train came collided with the rear. Four cars piled on each other, and passengers were trapped inside the train. Nine people died and more 70 injured, dozens have been described as "walking wounded. According to WMATA, the trains were not follow-up single was in the area the accident, but trains were on the same track. Red Line service was suspended between Fort Totten and Takoma stations and New Hampshire Avenue closed. Among the dead was the operator of the train which collided with the train stopped.
On November 29, 2009 to 3:00, two trains collided in the train yard West Falls Church. A train stopped and crashed into the back of another train. No customers aboard, and only minor damage to operators and personal hygiene reported.
Derailments
The Green Line train after January 7, 2007 derailment
On January 13, 1982, a train derailed in a system failure crossover switch south of the Federal Triangle station. In attempting to restore the train to the railroad, the supervisors did not realize that the other car was also derailed. The car went another lane and hit a tunnel support, killing three people and wounding 25. Coincidentally, this accident of Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge during a snowstorm.
On January 7, 2007, a green line train carrying about 120 people derailed near Mount Vernon Square Station in downtown Washington. At the time the trains were single tracking, and the derailment occurred when the fifth car train has been changing the way north to south. The accident injured at least 18 people and led to the rescue of 60 people from a tunnel. At least one person suffered a serious injury but not death.
The accident occurred in Mount Vernon Square was one of a series of derailments five vehicles of the 5000 series, with four occurring on those side streets and do not affect passengers. On June 9, 2008, an Orange Line train (series 2000) derailed between Rosslyn station and courthouse.
On February 12, 2010, a Red Line train derailed at about 10:13 at the exit of the station Farragut North in downtown Washington. After leaving station, the train entered a path of pocket. In addition, an automatic derailleur at the end of the bag intentionally derailed the railway as a measure of security. The wheels of the first two cars in the train of six cars bound White Flint was forced leave the tracks, the suspension of the train. Almost all of the approximately 345 passengers were evacuated from the train damaged the morning and 11:50 NTSB arrived on the scene of the accident at 12:00 Two injuries were mild, and the third passenger was transported to University Hospital George Washington. The cause is under investigation.
Security measures
On July 13, 2009, WMATA has adopted a tolerance "policy agents zero "For the train or the bus was found that using text messages or other handheld devices while working. This new and more political strict investigation came after several massive traffic accidents in the U.S. found that operators were text messages when of the accident. The policy change was announced after a passenger on a subway operator recorded text messages during operation train.
Fee Structure

Front Metro Travel Card, the list of residual value depreciation
Rates Metro vary the distance traveled and time of day of arrival. During normal business hours (Monday to Friday opening at 9:30 and 37, and Friday and Saturday evenings from 2:00 pm to closing), the range of rates of $ 1.65 to $ 4.50, depending on distance traveled. Otherwise, rates are $ 1.45, 1.95 dollars, or $ 2.45, based on distance traveled. Discounted rates are available for children of school age, persons with disabilities and the elderly. Metro charges rates have been reduced on public holidays, except those during which services are during peak hours, such as Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Presidents' Day.
Standard self-service machines to go Farecards and each position
The riders enter and exit the system through stored value cards as a travel card with magnetic strip card paper or neighborhood known as SmarTrip. The fee is deducted from the balance of the card to exit the system. Farecards You can buy in vending machines each station. Farecards can store up to $ 45 in value and are reused for the card value reaches zero, which is "captured" map of the output terminal. In addition, passengers can buy a pass in most vending machines tour card. The passes are used as Farecards but Riders travel bag limit in the system for a period of time. Some Metro passes to restrict the time and distance that the collar may be used.
The Users can add the value of all cards to travel, but passengers must pay an exit fee if the cost of travel is greater than the balance of your card. SmarTrip users are allowed to leave the system with a negative balance, but we must add the cost of card before entering the system. Passengers can transfer free of charge, provided they do not leave faregates. SmarTrip users receive a discount of $ 0.50 by bus and transfers to Rail-Rail In-bus.
On January 7, 2010, the WMATA Board approved hearings to consider a temporary increase of 10 cents in train tickets and buses will enter into force in April and July 2010 to offset a budget deficit. The increase was approved, entered into force 28 February 2010, and last until June 27, 2010.
Future expansion
Map of the subway system might look like in 2030, based on an April 24, 2008 the proposal to the Board of Directors Metro. Besides the silver line, the map shows several tram lines, changes in services, and a line of Blue realign.
WMATA expects an average of one million passengers per day in 2030. The need to increase capacity has renewed plans to add 220 vehicles the system and reroute trains to alleviate congestion busiest stations. Population growth in the region has also revived efforts to expand the service, construction of new platforms and the construction of additional lines.
Silver Line
Expanding the more important is the Silver Line, an extension of 23-mile (37 km) from the Orange Line in Loudoun County, Virginia, through Tysons Corner and Washington Dulles International Airport. Dulles rail has been discussed since the system opened in 1976. The current Silver Line project was officially proposed in 2002 and initially endorsed by the Federal Transit Administration in 2004. After several delays, federal funding for the money line was obtained in December 2008 and construction began in March 2009. The line will be built in two phases: a Wiehle Avenue in Reston, Virginia in 2013, and Virginia Route 772, beyond the airport Dulles, in 2015.
Blue Line realignment
Blue Line trains share a single tunnel Orange Line trains to cross the Potomac River. The limitations of the current service tunnel in each direction, creating a choke point. A 2001 proposal deviated from the Blue Line between Rosslyn and the construction of the stadium Arsenal substations a bridge or a tunnel of Virginia to a new station in Georgetown. The proposal was subsequently rejected because of cost. In October 2008, Metro launched a study on the possible diversion of trains on the Blue Line The 14th Street Bridge, now used by trains on the yellow line. This "blue line" adjustment would increase the service directly to downtown and alleviate congestion in the tunnel Rosslyn. If implemented, the new service between stations Franconiapringfield Greenbelt and can be called a new line.
Fort Belvoir and Fort Meade Extensions
In 2005, the Department of Defense announced that 18,000 jobs would be traveling to Fort Belvoir, Virginia and work at least 5,000 jobs at Fort Meade in Maryland in 2012 as part of base realignment this year closure plan. In anticipation of this measure, local authorities and the military extends proposed blue and green lines in service at each base. The expansion of the Green Line would cost 100 million dollars a mile, and a light rail extension to Fort Belvoir estimated cost of 800 million dollars. Neither proposal has set deadlines for the planning or construction.
National Museum of Natural Potomac
In 2008, officials have begun to explore the possibility of adding a station at Potomac Yard Alexandria area in blue and yellow lines between National Airport and Braddock Road stations. The project is still under exploration, and the financing of construction (estimated at 150 million dollars) has not been approved.
No Metrorail Project
Route proposed Purple Line
A number of urban light rail and tram projects have been proposed to extend or supplement services provided by Metro. As the money line in Virginia, the proposed Purple Line has been in planning since the 1980s. The project was originally conceived as a railway line linking the heavy circular outer stations in each branch of the Metrorail system in a model almost doubled the Capital Beltway. The proposal to create a system of light rail in Maryland, between stations in Bethesda and New Carrollton towards Silver Spring and College Park. The plan to connect the two branches of the red line to green and orange, and reduce the travel time between stations underground in the suburbs. Project is still under regulatory approval, but received strong support from local authorities and legislators of Maryland in January 2009.
Cities Corridor Transitway (CCT) join in Clarksburg, Maryland, in northern Montgomery County Shady Grove station on the Red Line. The TSA is currently open in 2016. In 2005, a member of Maryland has proposed a system of light rail to connect the southern Maryland, particularly fast-growing area around the town of Waldorf to the Branch Avenue Station Green Line. The project is still in the planning stage.
In Washington, a new tram system DC under construction to connect the various neighborhoods Washington subway stations. The first tram line connected to the Bolling Air Force Base and Anacostia Station should open its doors at the end of 2009. Tram routes have been proposed in the Atlas District, Capitol Hill and K Street corridor. In Virginia, the Pike Transit Initiative is a rail project linking Annandale, Virginia, along Columbia Pike to Pentagon City station in Arlington. The trams are expected to enter service in 2011.
