Washington Metro

History
Lyrics of construction at the shipyard in 1989
During the 1960s, there were plans for a Mass Highway Network in Washington, but the opposition to this freeway system grew. Harland Bartholomew, who chaired the National Capital Commission planning, thinking a rail system will never be self-sufficient due to low density uses of land and the overall decline in traffic. Finally, a concept of a mixed system with radial railway line has been agreed Capital Beltway. The Beltway total funding received, funding for the ambitious system inside Loop Highway has been partially reallocated to the construction of the subway system.
Intersection of the ceiling vaults in the Metro Center, a major transfer
In 1960, the federal government created the Transportation Agency of the National Capital to develop a rapid rail system. In 1966, a bill creating WMATA was adopted by the federal government, the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland, with the planning of power systems for the transfer to it of the NCTA.

WMATA has approved plans for a 98 miles (158 km) regional in 1968 and construction began in 1969 with the pioneer in December 9. The opening system March 27, 1976, to 4.6 miles (7 km) is in the red line with five stations of Rhode Island Avenue to Farragut North, all in the District of Columbia. Arlington County Virginia, was connected to the system July 1, 1976, Montgomery County, Maryland, February 6, 1978, Prince George County, Maryland, November 20, 1978, the County Fairfax, Virginia and Alexandria, Virginia, December 17, 1983.
The 103-mile (166 km), 83-station system has been completed with the opening sessions of the Line Branch Avenue Green January 13, 2001. This does not mean the end of the growth system: 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, New York U Avelorida Aveallaudet the red line from Union Station and Rhode Island Ave Brentwood, opened November 20, 2004, and is planning for an expansion of Dulles Airport.

Metro construction needs billions of dollars the federal government initially provided by Congress under the authority of the Transport Act Capital National 1969 (Public Law 91-143). Cost was paid with federal funds 90% and 10% of the local currency. This law was amended January 3, 1980, Public Law 96-184, "Transportation Amendment of the National Capital 1979 "(also known as the Stark-Harris Act), which authorized an additional $ 1.7 billion to allow completion 89.5 miles (144.0 km) from the system as provided by a full grant funding agreement with WMATA executed in July 1986, which requires 25% to paid from local funds. On November 15, 1990, Public Law 101-551, "Changes in the National Capital Transportation 1990, authorized an additional $ 1.3 billion in federal funds for the construction of the remaining 13.5 miles (21.7 km) of the 103 miles (166 km) system, supplemented by the implementation of agreements award of total funding, with a% 63% federal/37 local correspondent.
Highest single-day attendance was the day of the inauguration of Barack Obama January 20, 2009, with 1.12 million passengers. He broke the previous record set the previous day, 866 681 trips. June 2008 users to configure multiple documents: registration of passengers This month only 19,729,641 passengers in total, had the largest attendance with 772,826 days of travel days per week on average, had five of the ten best days traffic, and had 12 days of the week that the number of users exceeds 800,000 visitors.
In February 2006, Metro officials have chosen Randi Miller a car dealership employee of Woodbridge, Virginia, to record new "open door", "close doors" and "please stay away from the door, thank you "ad after winning a contest to replace the messages recorded by Sandy Carroll in 1996.

Since its opening in 1976, the subway network has grown to include five lines, 86 stations and 106.3 miles (171.1 km) of track. The rail network is designed as a central distribution model radios, railway lines running between downtown Washington and its suburbs. The system makes extensive use of agreements interlining more than one service running in the same way. There are five lines of action and a line under construction

About 50 miles (80 km) route is underground metro, and 47 of the 86 stations. Tennis Metro operates mainly in the district and suburban high density. control area accounts for about 46 miles (74 km) of the total, and the air is up to 9 miles (14 km). At 196 feet (60 m) below the surface, the station Forest Glen Red Line is the deepest in the system. No escalators, high speed elevators take 20 seconds to travel the road from the platform station. Wheaton station near Forest Glen Red Line station escalator has the second longest in the world-continuous, the most long in the western hemisphere 230 feet (70 m). The Rosslyn station is the deepest station of the Orange / Blue Line to 97 feet (30 meters) below street level. The resort's longest escalator-continuous third in the world at 205 feet (62 m) and a tower of the staircase between the ground floor and mezzanine floor is about two minutes.
The system is not focused 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 home to the largest sales office WMATA. Metro has identified five base stations, "which have a high volume of passengers, including including: Transfer Station Gallery Placehinatown the red lines, green and yellow, L'Enfant Plaza station transfer of orange, blue, green and yellow lines, Union Station, the busiest station of the passengers on board, the Farragut North and Farragut West. To cope with the large number of passengers at transfer stations, Metro is studying the possibility of creating pedestrian connections between the transfer of nearby base stations. 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 lines without going to a stop on the line red. Another tunnel between stations Farragut North Farragut West and allow transfers between red and orange / blue lines, the decrease in the application transfer at the Metro Centre on 11%.
Metro operates the service settings as special holiday events in Washington may require services additional. Independence Day activities need to adjust the Metro services to provide additional capacity and the National Mall. WMATA made similar adjustments in other events such as presidential inaugurations. Metro has changed stations and are used as raw materials or products to help manage congestion.
Rolling stock

Rail cars arrive at the station Cheverly Rohr
Fleet of 1,126 subway cars, each 75 feet (23 meters) 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 married couples are (consecutively numbered even-odd), shared systems between partners. Metro currently operates 850 vehicles at peak times. 814 vehicles are in active service, and the other 36 cars on the train away to serve as backup if the experience of train problems.
Lyrics rolling stock was acquired in six phases, and each version of the car is identified with a serial number separately. The initial order for 300 vehicles (290 in service since June 2009 [Update]) has been manufactured by Rohr Industries, with the final delivery 1978. These cars are numbered and 10001299 have been rehabilitated in the mid-1990s. Breda Costruzioni Ferroviari (Breda) has produced the second around 76 cars delivered in 1983 and 1984. These cars, numbered 20002075, were 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 and have been refurbished by Alstom in 30003291 2000s. An order of 100 cars from Breda, number 40,004,099 were delivered between 1992 and 1994. A fifth order of 192 car was manufactured by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) of Spain. These cars are numbered and 50005191 due for delivery between 2001 and 2004. A sixth order of 184 vehicles from Alstom Transport has been delivered between 2005 and 2007. Cars hulls were built in Barcelona, Spain mounting Completed in Hornell, New York.
7000-series cars, currently in development, is expected to enter service in early 2012. News cars will be different from previous models that operate as quads, rather than pairs. The new design will allow the passenger capacity increase the elimination of redundant equipment, improved energy efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Metro eventually offers to buy up to 748 vehicles to increase the capacity of the system and replace your old PC.
Signaling and operation
Main article: Washington Metro signaling and operation
During normal operation of passenger revenue streams, trains are controlled by an integrated automatic train operation and automatic control of the train accelerates and brakes train automatically without operator intervention. However, all trains are operated with train operators to close doors (Can that opens automatically), make announcements at the station, train and supervise them. The operator can drive a train manually if necessary.
Security
Main article: Metro Transit Police Department
Metro planners designed the system with passenger safety and order maintenance as primary considerations. The open design of the seasons and vault obstacles on limited platforms allow few opportunities to hide criminal activity. station platforms are built away from the walls of the station to limit vandalism and provide a diffuse light station embedded. Metro seeks to reduce crime, and the way in the station environments have been designed with crime prevention in mind, contributed to Metro is one of the cleanest and secure underground systems in the United States.
Underground is patrolled by the police themselves, which is responsible for ensuring the safety of passengers and employees. Police Transit officers patrol the subway and the subway, and have the competence and powers of detention throughout the Metro service area in 1500 square miles (3,900 km2) for crimes occurring on or against the authority of the transit facilities, or within 150 feet (46 m) of a Metrobus stop. The Department Metro Transit Police is the police that the U.S. local police authority in three different "state" level of court (Maryland, Virginia and the District Columbia).
Each city and county in the Metro service area have similar ordinances that regulate or prohibit vending on property owned by Metro, which prohibit drivers eating, drinking or smoking in the subways, buses and stations, traffic police have a reputation for implementing these laws strictly. A very publicity incident occurred in 2000 when police arrested a 12 year old girl for eating french fries at the Tenleytown-AU station. In a review 2004 John Roberts is now Chief Justice of the United States, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed the arrest of the girl. Meanwhile, there was negative publicity WMATA responded by adopting a policy of first issuance of warnings to children and their detention after three offenses under one year.
zero tolerance policy on food waste underground and other sources of disorder embodies the windows "Broken" reduction philosophy of crime. This philosophy also extends to the use of the toilets of the station. Long political efforts to curb illegal activities and unwanted, has been to enable employees to use the bathroom in the subway. station managers may make exceptions for passengers with young children, elderly or disabled. Metro can now use toilets for passengers to obtain approval of a director of the station, except during periods of increased terrorist alerts.
Random searches Luggage
On October 27, 2008, Metro Transit Police Department has announced its intention to immediately start random searches rucksacks, handbags and other bags. Transit police randomly search riders before taking a bus or entering a station. He also explained its intention to stop any person acting suspiciously. Metro argues that the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decision MacWade v. Kelly, who confirmed the random searches in the subway in New York Metro Transit Police will take similar measures. Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn said that if someone decided to turn around and simply enter the system by ladder or lift, Metro has "a plan to address suspicious behavior." Security specialist Bruce Schneier has characterized the plan as "security theater against a movie plot threat", which means they do not believe that these random searches will actually help to improve safety.
Metro Riders Advisory Council has recommended that meters WMATA Board of Directors to hold at least one public meeting on the program research. In December 2008 [update], Metro has not held a single search.
Accidents
Main article: Incidents in Metro Washington
Several crashes have occurred in Metro Washington, causing injuries and deaths as well as numerous derailments that have little or no damage. WMATA has been criticized for failing to meet safety and expert advice. The Tri-State Oversight Committee monitors WMATA, but has no regulatory power. Homeland Security Metro is generally responsible for investigating incidents, but can not require other Metro departments to implement their recommendations.
Collisions
Accident at Shady Grove station on January 6, 1996
During the Blizzard of 1996, January 06, the operator was killed when a subway train failed to stop at the Shady Grove station. The four-car train passed the station platform and crashed into a train that was empty without placing. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation found that the accident was the result of a failure of computer-controlled train brake system. The NTSB recommended that metro operators, the ability to manually control braking system, even in bad weather, and recommended that cars parked on the prohibition of Metro railways used by trains on arrival.
Accident Parkoo station Woodley / Adams Morgan November 3, 2004
On November 3, 2004, an off-duty Red Line train traveling back in station Parkoo Woodley / Adams Morgan and came to a stopped train service on the platform. Nobody died, but 20 were injured. A 14-month investigation reached the conclusion that the train driver, you probably do not know when the train rolled toward the station. security officials estimated that the whole train was at least 79 were killed. The train driver was fired and Metro officials decided to add rollback protection to more than 300 cars by rail.
June 22 2009 at 17:02, two trains collided on the red line. A train was heading south Shady Grove to rest en route to Fort Totten station and a southbound train crashed with the rear. Four cars were stacked on each other, and the passengers were trapped on the train. Nine people were killed and 70 wounded, dozens have been described as "Walking wounded. According to WMATA, trains have not been easy to follow in the area when the accident occurred, but the trains were in the same way. Service Red Line was suspended between the stations of Fort Totten and Takoma, and New Hampshire Avenue has been closed. One Among the dead was the operator of the train collided with the train stopped.
On November 29, 2009 around 3:00 am, two trains collided in the court of West Falls Church rail. A train approached and struck the rear of another train. No customer is on board, and only minor damage to operators and cleaning staff have been reported.
Derailments
The Green Line train after on January 7, 2007 derailment
On January 13, 1982, a train derailed at a switch malfunction in the south of the Federal Triangle station. In trying to restore the train on the tracks, the supervisors did not realize that another car was also derailed. The other car left the track and hit the tunnel support, killing three people and wounding 25. Coincidentally, this accident as Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge over a snow storm.
On January 7, 2007, a green line train carrying about 120 people derailed near the Mount Vernon Square station in downtown Washington. At the time train tracking unique, and the fifth car derailed when the train was switching from south to north to follow. The accident injured at least 18 people and caused the rescue of 60 people from a tunnel. At least one person suffered a serious injury, but not fatal.
Mount Vernon Square incident was part of a series of five car derailment 5000 series, with four of those occurring in the side channels and excluding passengers. On June 9, 2008, an Orange Line train (2000 series) derailed between the Rosslyn station and courthouse.
On February 12, 2010, a train derailed on the red line around 10:13 because he left Farragut North Station in downtown Washington. After he left the station, the train entered a path of pocket. By continuing, a switch automatically at the end of the bag intentionally track Train derailment as a security measure. The wheels of the first two cars of the six-car train bound-White-Flint have been forced to leave the tracks, stop train. Almost all the 345 passengers were evacuated from damaged estimated 11:50 train, the NTSB is on the scene by 12:00 pm Two wounded in a minor and a third passenger was taken to George Washington University Hospital. The cause is under investigation.
Safety measures
On July 13, 2009, WMATA has adopted a "zero tolerance" policy actors for the train or bus tried using SMS or other handheld devices at work. This new policy more strict and came after investigations transit times several accidents in the United States has found that operators have been text messaging at the time the accident. The policy change was announced after a passenger on a subway train operator SMS video during train operation.

front of a subway travel cards, reports the residual reduction
Metro fares vary depending on the distance traveled and time of day at the entrance. During regular business hours (Monday to Friday from opening until 9:30 am and 37 pm and Friday and Saturday nights from 2:00 until closing) rates range from $ 1.65 to 4.50 dollars, depending on the distance traveled. At other times, rates are $ 1.45 1.95 USD, or $ 2.45, depending on the distance traveled. Special rates are available for school-age children, the disabled and elderly people. Metro charges reduced rates federal holidays, except those for which it provides services at peak times, including Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Day Presidents.
Standard machines are vending machines in every position assists and Farecards
The riders enter and exit the system using a stored value card in the form of paper travel cards or magnetic stripe card known as SmarTrip proximity. The amount is deducted from the card balance to the system output. Farecards bought primarily to vending machines at each station. Farecards can contain up to $ 45 in value and reused until the value of the card reaches zero, which is "the map captured" by the output terminal. In addition, passengers can buy a pass in most retail travel cards automatically. Passes used in the same way but Farecards riders unlimited travel bag in the system during a certain period of time. Some Metro passes limit the time and distances passes can be used.
Users can add value to any travel cards, but pilots must pay an exit fee if the cost of the trip is higher than the balance card. SmarTrip users are allowed to leave the system with a negative balance, but we must add the fee to the card before entering the system. Passengers can transfer form free, provided that they leave the territory by the faregates. SmarTrip users will receive a discount of $ 0.50 on the bus-to-Rail and Rail transfers to buses.
The January 7, 2010, the WMATA Board approved a temporary hearings to review 10 percent increase in rail and bus fares to come into force in April-July 2010 cover a budget deficit. The increase was approved, entered into force on February 28, 2010, in June and last until May 27, 2010.
Future expansion
Map of the subway system might look like in 2030, based on an April 24, 2008 the proposal of the board of Metro. In addition to the money line, the map shows several light rail lines, service changes, and a blue line realigned.
WMATA expects an average of one million passengers daily in 2030. The need to increase capacity has renewed plans to add 220 vehicles in the system and reroute trains to alleviate congestion at the busiest stations. Population growth in the region also has new impetus to expand the service, construction of new stations, and build additional lines.
Silver Line
Expansion The most important is the Silver Line, an extension of 23 miles (37 km) from the Orange Line in Loudoun County, Virginia, through Tysons Corner International Washington Dulles Airport. Dulles Rail has been discussed since the system opened in 1976. The current draft of the Silver Line formally proposed in 2002 and initially approved by the Federal Transit Administration in 2004. After several delays, the federal funding for the Silver Line has been obtained in December 2008 and construction began in March 2009. The line will be built in two phases: Wiehle Avenue in Reston, Virginia in 2013 and Virginia Highway 772, beyond the airport Dulles, in 2015.
Blue Line realignment
Blue Line trains share a single tunnel with trains to cross the orange line of the Potomac River. The service tunnel current borders in both directions, creating a bottleneck. A 2001 proposal have strayed from the Blue Line between Rosslyn and Stadium-season Arsenal by building a bridge or tunnel from Virginia to a new station in Georgetown. The proposal was later rejected because they cost. In October 2008, Metro published A study on the possible diversion of some trains on the Blue Line in the 14th Street Bridge, which is currently used by trains on the yellow line. This realignment blue line would increase direct services to central and relieve congestion in the Rosslyn tunnel. If implemented, the new service between the stations of the Greenbelt and Franconiapringfield can be oriented in a new line.
Fort Belvoir and Fort Meade Extensions
In 2005, the Defense Department announced that it would be changing 18 000 posts work at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and at least 5,000 jobs at Fort Meade in Maryland in 2012 as part of the basis of years Realignment and Closure Plan. In anticipation of all Thus, local and military authorities the proposed extension of Blue and Green lines to each basic service. The proposed expansion of the Green Line would cost 100 million U.S. dollars per mile, and an extension of light rail in Fort Belvoir has been estimated to cost $ 800 million. Neither proposal has set timelines for planning or construction.
Potomac metro station
In 2008, authorities have begun to explore the possibility of adding a station at Potomac Alexandria Yard area in blue and yellow lines between National Airport and Braddock Road stations. The project is still in an exploratory phase, and funding Construction (estimated at $ 150 million) has not been approved.
The project does not Metrorail
proposed route of the Purple Line
A series of urban light rail and tram projects have been proposed to expand or complement the service provided by Metro. Silver Line In Virginia, the proposed Purple Line has been in planning since the 1980s. The project was originally conceived as a line of railway stations linking the heavy outer loop in each branch of Metro, in a structure of approximately reflects the Capital Beltway. The proposal to create a light rail system in Bethesda Maryland and New Carrollton stations between through Silver Spring and College Park. The plan would connect the two arms of the red to green and orange, and reduce travel time between stations underground in the suburbs. The project is still pending regulatory approval, but received strong support from local authorities and legislators in Maryland, in January 2009.
Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT) will be linked Clarksburg, Maryland, in Montgomery County north of the Shady Grove station on the red line. The Committee is currently scheduled to open in 2016. In 2005, a member of Maryland has proposed a light rail system to connect remote areas of southern Maryland, in particular the rapid growth the area around the town of Waldorf, that Branch Avenue Green Line station. The project is still in the planning stage.
In Washington, a new DC rail system under construction to connect the different neighborhoods in the Washington Metro stations. The first tramway line linking Bolling Air Force Base station Anacostia and must open its doors in late 2009. tram routes have been proposed in the Atlas District, Capitol Hill and K Street corridor. In Virginia Pike Transit is a rail project joining Annandale, Virginia, along Columbia Pike to Pentagon City station in Arlington. The tram should enter service in 2011.
