Capital Improvement Plan History
• 1998 F.R. Harris Report – Twenty Year Capital Improvement Plan− Capital asset database− Infrastructure renewal requirements
• November 2002 - Ten Year CIP (FY04 – FY13), $12.2 billion– “MUST DO” Infrastructure Renewal– “NEED TO DO” Systems Access and Capacity– “SHOULD DO” System Expansion
System Expansion, $6.0
Infrastructure Renewal, $3.3
System Access, $2.9

Capital Improvement Plan History (-cont)
• October 2004– Metro Matters ($2.7 Billion for FY05 –FY10)– Fully funded “MUST-DO”– Partially funded “NEED-TO-DO”– No funding for “SHOULD-DO”
• January 2005 – COG Blue Ribbon Panel (FY05– FY 15)– Capital Needs: $800 Million per year– Capital Revenue: $500 Million per year– Shortfall: $300 Million per year

Why the Need for A New Capital Improvement Plan
• Supports efforts for increased funding• Metro Matters Funding Agreement ends FY 2010• Federal funding bill SAFETEA-LU expires in September
2009 – new bill to be developed
• Capital program management and budgeting
• Multi-year rail and bus vehicle procurements
• Communicate the Authority’s transit vision by creating a link between capital investments and strategic goals
• Foundation for prioritizing investments

Capital Needs Assessment – Overview
• What’s included in the capital needs assessment:– 10-year (2011 to 2020) focus– “Unconstrained” by funding limits– Improvements needed to keep the transit system in a state of good
repair– Improvements that will enhance service and the customer
experience– Increases in rail and bus capacity to meet demand and serve new
markets• What’s not included in the capital needs assessment:
– System expansion projects:• New rail lines including the Dulles Corridor extension• New stations or station entrances
– Transit projects to be funded or implemented entirely by the jurisdictions
What is State of Good Repair?
• “‘State of Good Repair” is achieved when the infrastructure components are replaced on a schedule consistent with their life expectancy
• For example: Useful life of a bus is 15 years. In order to sustain a replacement of the fleet on an annual, prescribed, basis 1/15 of the fleet is replaced each year. Annual replacement will grow as fleet grows.

Future State of Good Repair
• The Metro Matters agreement established an average level of capital spending of about $500 million annually
• Going forward, a greater need exists just to keep the system in a State-of-Good Repair
• The increased need is due to the following:– For the first time, Metro is faced with the replacement of a series of
railcars.– Many assets have a 30-year life cycle.– New or modified capital programs are included, i.e. IT, Metro
Access, Employee Facilities.

State of Good Repair Needs - Highlights
• Replacement of 300 1000-Series Cars and Rehab of 100 4000-Series Cars plus Commissioning Facility
• Replace older buses (100 per year) to maintain an average fleet age of 7.5 years
• Maintain the structural integrity of Metrorail bridges, tunnels, platforms, and emergency exits
• Replace 52,800 linear feet of running rail and 30 switches per year, as well as the renewal of other critical track components
• Replace 4 bus garages• Replace traction power switchgear• Replace and upgrade AFC equipment system-wide• Rehabilitate automatic train control• Comprehensive upgrade of IT data centers and infrastructure
13
Enhancement Needs - Highlights
• Extending Platform Canopies – provide coverage for full length of platform at all above ground stations (39)
• SmartTrip Dispenser Conversion – enable an additional 500 machines to distribute SmartCards
• Camera Installation Program - install camera systems on all revenue buses increase safety and security
• Next Generation Web portal – enhance portals navigation features, add security protection and improve translation capabilities.
• Additional metrorail station signage in stations – improve pedestrian flow and safety within metrorail stations
14
Ridership Growth Trends
• Between 2005 and 2030, average daily rail ridership is expected to grow by over 40%, or 1.5% annually.
• Over the same period, average daily busridership is expected to grow by 26%, or 1% annually.

Capacity Enhancement Needs - Rail
• 100% 8-Car Trains– Includes the purchase of 220
railcars– Includes the power upgrades to
support this capacity• Capacity enhancements to nine
Metrorail stations• Two congestion-relieving pedestrian
tunnels• Maintenance and storage capacity
enhancements at 4 rail yardsNOTE: Parking garage expansion is
not included in the CIP.
Station Connection Tunnel Concept
• Construction of two new bus garages, and completion of bus facilities at the Carmen Turner Facility
• Addition of over 400 new buses to the fleet for seat replacement, impact of traffic congestion, and service expansion
• Implementation of priority bus treatments including transit signal priority implementation, queue jumpers, bus bulbs
• Improvements to bus stops and shelters to improve safety and provide real-time information to passengers

Next Steps
• Summer / Fall 2008 – Present draft Capital Needs Assessment to JCC, RAC, and regional stakeholders
• Fall 2008:– Board presentation of 2011-2020 Capital Improvement Plan– Regional discussions about funding and prioritization
• 2009 - Develop capital funding agreement to begin July 2010
