	Washington, D.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Washington is surrounded by the states of Virginia (on its western side) and Maryland (on its southeast, northeast, and northwest sides); it interrupts those states' common border, which is the Potomac River's southern shore both upstream and downstream from the District.
		Washington was an important center in the genesis of punk rock in the United States.
		The George Washington University, founded by an act of Congress in 1821, is the largest institution of higher education in the nation's capital with its main campus in Foggy Bottom and its Mount Vernon campus in the Foxhall neighborhood of Northwest Washington.

		The Washington Metro is the public transportation system of Washington DC and adjoining regions of Maryland and Virginia.
		It is owned and operated by Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority (WMATA) a agency funded by the District of Columbia Maryland and Virginia.

	News -- Return of Area Trolleys Considered By District
		Another transportation project proposed by WMATA is the development of a new Blue line, which if approved would be operating by 2020 and would have a stop at M Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
		Because of the residential concentration in the Georgetown area as well as the commercial areas of M Street that draws tourists, representatives said the Georgetown/M Street route was among the top three under consideration.
		Because it is a heavy traffic area, wider designs would mean the elimination of on street parking and possibly a traffic lane, which has the potential to significantly disrupt automobile and bus transit.

	Safety Review of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)
		As WMATA implemented a number of questionable policies in the months prior to the January 1996 accident, there was no countervailing force at work in the agency to question these policies and subject them to a proper and disciplined analysis.
		Because of past uncertainties in command authority at WMATA, and because of a lack of training and experience in rail operations during emergencies, this manual is the primary resource for emergency response.
		WMATA personnel interviewed acknowledged that station overruns under automatic train operation (ATO) were a problem, which they characterized as a "passenger inconvenience." Universally, they confidently expressed their assurance that overruns were not a safety issue.

		WMATA officials have developed a program that will include walking volunteer passengers into dark subway tunnels to teach them to navigate live tracks as trains roll by.
		According to the Washington Post, rail officials said the training would be useful during natural disasters or fires, but the main purpose of the campaign is to prepare for a terrorist attack on the system, which experts say is a potential target.
		WMATA has posted an animated guide to evacuating trains, subway tunnels, stations and buses on its Website at www.wmata.com/riding/safety/evac.cfm.

	Local Problems, Libertarian Solutions - Chapter 7: Transportation
		Local governments, especially those in larger cities, have meddled with community transportation so long and so thoroughly that it appears that each of the various transportation modes are much of the time carrying passengers who could be better transported by another mode.
		It is a hot morning in the summer of 1975 as one of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority's buses sways and lurches its way across the Mall with its capacity load of passengers bound for jobs on Independence Avenue and Capitol Hill.
		What all transportation technologies need in order to be able to compete on a fair footing is to be released from the institutional constraints of regulation and municipal operation.

	June 2003 Update
		On December 19, 2002, the Commonwealth Transportation Board endorsed the rail alternative along with the addition of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) elements to enhance bus service while rail is being constructed.
		The initial findings of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) on the 2000 Census Journey to Work Survey reveal important trends in the Dulles corridor that support the investment in rail transit to serve the multiple, major activity centers along the corridor.
		The 2002 COG report, "Metropolitan Washington Regional Activity Centers", indicates that 70 percent of the region's employment is concentrated in activity centers and clusters while only 30 percent of the region's households are.

	Transit-Oriented Development
		Additionally, WMATA was going to construct a simple "kiss and ride" drop-off and a bus transfer facility, but instead, at the behest of the municipality, has bid out a joint development using its parking lot and air rights to developers Foulger-Pratt.
		The moral of the story is twofold: Joint development will result in greatly enhanced commuter facilities that WMATA itself would have had to build, and the location of development (which might have gone elsewhere), adjacent to and on top of the Metro station, will guarantee increased transit ridership.
		Because the Silver Spring redevelopment is transit-friendly and revitalizing a struggling area, both Maryland and federal agencies have favored it with funding.

	Transit Security Hearing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Both the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have placed a high priority on increasing security in the nation’s public transportation systems, and we are working together to ensure that transit systems are prepared to respond to security threats and emergency situations.
		In fiscal years 2003 and 2004, public transportation received $115 million for transit security grants in comparison to $11 billion invested to protect the national aviation system in FY02-03.
		As recently illustrated during President Reagan’s funeral events in Washington when a plane cleared to enter restricted airspace nevertheless caused the evacuation of the Capitol and neighboring office buildings, the clear division of responsibilities and protocol between agencies is crucial.
