In the Authority's August program control report, an increase in the total system cost of $139.9 million was reported. Please comment on the source of this increase. Was any part of the increase from contracts not yet obligated? (p. 1187) 3.

In testimssy before this committee o5 Nov. 5, 1975, General Graham admitted that these funds may not be available. 2 Given that 85 percent of system operating casts are labor and fuel, a 10 percent underestimation is these volatile com- modities is not unlikely. Also the rail costs, with no past experience as a basis for forecasting, are even more vulnerable to fluctuation. The 10 percent allowance also parallels BART's early experience. a The Congressional Budget Office noted in the "1976 Budget: Alternatives and Analyses" that a 15 percent variation in system revenue was likely based on their analysis of population trends. Note: This amount is not the maximum deficit conceivable. Fares could be lower, riserahip lower, or cost hIgher. Further, no attempt is made to allow for interactions between costs.

The staff has investigated these changes and finds that the basic concept of turning back Metrobuses at rail stations would still apply and that such changes would have little, if any, effect on the operational plans and cost estimates outlined in the report as based on the original assumptions. ~ Paragraph 15 Last Proposed Metrorail Fare Structure Change paragraph to read: As a result of the public hearings held in April, 1975, a Committee of the WMATA Board of Directors recommended a Metrorail fare system which was adopted by the Board to be effective during operational Phases I and II of the Metrorall system. The basic fare system adopted for Phase II is as follows: 16 2nd Metrorail Hours of Operation and Frequency of Service Change last five lines to read: During Phase II, service will operate 1~4 hours daily on weekdays, during the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:QO ~ with five-minute headways during rush hours and ten-minute headways during off-peak hours.

The plan itself draws heavily upon the existing route layout so as not to disrupt established travel patterns and, more importantly, not to withdraw service which is presently well patronized. It does, however, drastically reduce duplicate services where Metrorail would operate and provide a speedier, more dependable and attractive operation and, as a consequence, it offers a substantial reduction in the Metrobus deficit. In the preparation of this report the Office of Planning staff utilized to full advantage data developed in previous studies and drew upon many of the findings for the major sources of input in developing this early action short-range plan. It should be recognized, however, that this Is a preliminary plan which has not been reviewed by the local jurisdictions nor by other WMATA staff outside the Office of Planning. Also, actual operating costs, revenues and patronage have not been developed in final detail. These definitive data will be finalized in subsequent studies and after the plan has been examined by appropriate staff and has been subjected to the jurisdictional review process. Based on the preliminary plan, estimates have been developed by jurisdiction to show order of magnitude changes that will result when the plan is implemented. These estimates are outlined by jurisdiction, as follows: District of Columbia Because of the dominance of the District of Columbia as a focus of bus travel, emphasis has been given to connecting the rail stations with an.appropriate number of Metrobus routes. This has been accomplished by turning back and restructuring routes so as to provide adequate access to each rail station. These actions are necessary to provide for a viable unified rail-bus service under Phase II Mc~trorail operation. In restructuring Metrobus routes in the District of Columbia consideration was given to the generation of additional customers and revenues on the consolidated transit system. The success of the plan, however, is directly related to the quality of service to be provided. Proposed Minimal Service Should budget considerations dictate an austere Metrobus program, minimal service changes and improvements could be inaugurated PAGENO="0087" 769 -2- with the introduction of the rapid rail system. These minimal and necessary changes would reduce peak bus requirements in the District of Columbia by 30 vehicles and weekday miles by 2,653. Also, it is estimated that the number of operators could be reduced by approximately L~O men. Saturday and Sunday changes would produce only slight and insignificant increases in bus miles. The net changes are tabulated by line and route as shown by the table "Estimated Changes in Buses and Miles (District of Columbia)" on pages 37 and 38. Proposed Expanded Service Due to the current trends of increasing Metrobus ridership and the anticipated new demand for service with the introduction of rapid rail, it Is proposed to provide a limited number of Metrobus service improvements -including new routes and extensions of existing routes. By implementing these proposals, it would change the statistics produced in the minimal service proposal by reducing the number of buses saved by seven and by restoring approximately l,0~+2 weekday, 9814 Saturday and 882 Sunday miles. it is the opinion of the staff that some Metrobus service improvements are necessary and will be required as a matter of public convenience and necessity. Therefore, these mcdest Metrobus changes are being recommended. Maryland Phase ii Metrorail will not extend into the Maryland suburbs. Nevertheless, it is feasible and practical to turn back buses at Rhode island, Stadium-Armory, Potomac, and Capitol South Stations. By terminating services at these stations, operating economies can be achieved, and passengers will be provided a speedier and more dependable trip to their downtown destinations. Specifically, Prince George's County will be greatly affected by Phase ii Metrorail operations, while Montgomery County will only be slightly affected. A summary of the proposed Maryland changes follows. Proposed Minimal Service - Montgomery County in Montgomery County, there is little opportunity to increase operating efficiency in connection with Phase ii Metrorail service. Consequently, the only feasible route changes are related to special services operating to the Southwest Mall employment area. By turning back these trips at the Federal Triangle Station, it is possible to reduce bus miles and operating costs without sacrificing the quality of service now provided. in fact, those persons destined to the Southwest Mall would be provided a more attractive service through a convenient transfer and frequent Metrorail service to Southwest Mall. it is estimated that 44 miles each weekday would be saved by this proposal. PAGENO="0088" 770 -3- Proposed Minimal Service - Prince George's County Prince George's County routes will be greatly affected by Phases I and II Metrorail operations. Many routes operate past Metrorail stations or can be easily rerouted to serve the stations. By terminating service at these stations operating economies can be achieved, and passengers will be provided a speedier and more dependable trip to their downtown destinations. The proposal to turn back Prince George's County Metrobus routes at Rhode Island Avenue, Stadium-Armory, Potomac Avenue and Capitol South Stations will result in substantial reductions in operating costs. It is estimated that these minimal changes in Prince George's County would reduce operating peak period bus r~qu1rements by 25 vehIcles and weekday miles by 1,998. Reductions on Saturdays and Sundays would amount to 792 and 174 miles respectively. Proposed Expanded Service In Prince George's County it is proposed to make modest service improvements with the introduction of Metrorail operating Phase II. These changes provide for the establishment of four new routes, the rerouting of one line, and the provision for additional peak period service to relieve overloaded conditions on two existing routes. Implementation of these modest proposals would reutilize 17 buses and would restore 1,038 weekday revenue miles that would have resulted by turning back buses at Metrorail stations under the minimal service proposal. The staff is recommending these expanded services in order to provide an acceptable level of service in Prince George's County. Virginia: * In Virginia there is an excellent opportunity to interface Metrobus service with Phase Ii Metrorail at the six Virginia stations scheduled to become operational during 1977. At the Rosslyn Station, all Metrobus routes operating across Key Bridge will turn back at the station. Other Metrobus routes presently operating through Rosslyn and across Roosevelt Bridge will be maintained, except service will terminate at Federal Triangle in lieu of operating to Southwest Mall. Metrobus routes now operating across Memorial Bridge will generally be maintained. Also, new Metrobus service between Rosslyn and the National Visitor Center via Key Bridge and 11 Street (Georgetown) will be added as a District of Columbia route. All Metrobus routes ]j~gJj~.the Shirley Highway ci4q~_ will be changed to turn back at either the Pentagon or Federal Triangle in downtown Washington. Transfer to the rail line at the PAGENO="0089" 771 -4- Pentagon Station for Farragut Square bound riders will offer a substantial time savings over that presently provided by bus. Service will be maintained at a lower frequency across the 14th Street Bridge to Federal Triangle or Southwest Mall, until the Metrorail South River Crossing becomes operational. A reduced frequency of Metrobus service, between the Pentagon and Federal Triangle areas, across the 14th Street Bridge from the Columbia Pike and South Arlington corridors will be provided. Due to the limited facilities for Metrobus at both Crystal City and Pentagon City, Metrobus routes operating in the Jefferson Davis Highway corridor will either be routed to the Pentagon Station or continue operating to Federal Triangle. Approximately one-third of the service operating in the George Washington Parkway corridor, from the south, will be terminated at the National Airport Station. Specific service proposals are outlined under Section IX, `Metrobus Changes Proposed for Coordination With Operational Phase II of Metrorail in Virginia." A summary of the proposed Virginia changes follows. Proposed Minimal Service By implementing the concept of turning back Metrobuses at Virginia stations during Metrorail Phase II operation, it is possible to realize substantial savings and, at the same time, improve the quality of the service being provided. The future of Metrorail depends upon this concept of feeder service to the stations. There- fore, it is in the best interest of the Authority and the jurisdictions to implement this concept during the early phases of Metrorail. The initial changes are esttmated toresult in a redUction of 52 peak period buses and approximately 64 operators. Also, there would be a reduction of about 5,7114 weekday, 2,0714 Saturday and 1,591 Sunday vehicle miles operated. These minimal changes do not reflect any growth in ridership due to the attractiveness of the combined Metrorail and Metrobus service and, as a consequence, the staff proposes modest increases in the area of coverage. Proposed Expanded Service In connection with the proposal to restructure Metrobus routes during Phase II Metrorail operation, it is also proposed to make modest service changes in Virginia to reflect the current increased ridership. More importantly, the provision for the attractiveness of Metrorail and a high quality Metrobus service should be considered so that the anticipated additional riders may be accommodated. In PAGENO="0090" 772 -5- this connection, the staff proposes the reutilization of 10 buses to operate 52 additional trips on six Metrobus routes. This proposal would also restore 635 daily weekday miles that were saved under the proposed minimal service plan. The staff is recommending these modest changes so as to provide an acceptable level of service. PAGENO="0091" 773 -6- o RECOMMENDATIONS The staff is recommending this preliminary proposal for transmittal to the local jurisdictions and for further review and analysis by WMATA staff. In order to meet the anticipated operational date for Metrorail Phase II in early 1977, it will be necessary to finalize this plan by April, so that public hearings may be scheduled for early summer 1976. Such actions are necessary to allow the Schedule Department to complete its work assignments and to permit the Union required work selection process to commence so that service can be implemented with the inauguration of Metrorail service. It should be noted that the staff is recommending the expanded service proposals to be included in the final plan. No doubt, other recommendations will surface as the proposals pass through the review process.

Between 197k and 1980, about 173,000 households and 2014,000 jobs are to be added and are expected to generate about 1.6 million daily person trips. Many of these trips will occur in areas already faced with severe congestion and limited transit service. Improved public transportation is vital to the proper function and growth of our metropolitan area. The construction of Metrorail and the design of a consolidated unified feeder bus network will solve many of today's transportation problems. Planning to meet future transportation requirements for the region should provide for a coordinated system, including both efficient highway and mass transit facilities, making full use of the advantages of each mode of transportation. I I. BACKGROUND Transit Authori.!.~ The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority was created effective February 20, 1967, by interstate Compact by and between Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, pursuant to Public Law 89-7714 approved November 6, 1966. The Authority's prime function is to plan, develop, finance and provide for the operation of a rapid rail transit system serving the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Zone. Also, with the recent Compact amendment, pursuant to Public Law 92-517, permitting the Authority to acquire the private bus companies in early 1973, all regular route urban bus service in the region is now under public ownership. In the three years that the Authority has been operating bus service in this region, there have been some very gratifying accom- plishments. Service increases inboth quantity and quality can be demonstrated by the fact that bus miles have increased by 30 percent since acquisition and the consistent and increasing downward trend in ridership and service has not only been stopped but has been reversed. Pal icy~jectives The basic objective:of the Authority is to establish and main- tain high quality urban transit service in the region consistent with its legislative mandate and sound financial policies which assure sufficient funds to meet the cost of providing the service. Goals WMATA goals provide for the operation of high quality transit service, tempered by any social, economic and environmental constraints PAGENO="0095" 777 -10- imposed in the future, to deal effectively with fuel shortage problems, air quality standards and increasing subsidy requirements. Because of the complex nature of comprehensive planning in the National Capital Region, involving local governments and two States and the District of Columbia, and with major differences in political, social, economic and legislative characteristics, the adoption of an area-wide comprehensive regional rai 1-bus plan requi res careful planning, close coordination and understanding. I. METROBUS General In the Washington metropolitan area, mass transit bus service is provided by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) pursuant to Pubflc Law 92-517, which provided for the acquisition of the operating assets of D.C. Transit System, Inc., the Washington, Virginia and Maryland Coach Company, Inc., the Alexandria, Barcroft and Washington Transit Company, and the WMA Transit Company. WMATA provides mass transit bus service within the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Zone which consists of the District of Columbia, the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church and Fairfax, and the counties of Arlington and Fairfax and political subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Virginia located in those counties, and the counties of Montgomery and Prince George's in the State of Maryland and the political subdivisions of the State of Maryland located in those counties. Except for the lightly settled outer portions of Fairfax County, Virginia and Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in Maryland, mass transit bus services extend throughout the Zone. With the delivery of the620 AM General transit buses and the acquisition of the Shirley Highway Express Bus-On-Freeway buses, WMATA owns and operates 2,008 mass transit buses within the Zone. Additionally, 130 buses originally scheduled for retirement are being retained in a stand-by status to provide the means for meeting public demands for increased mass transit service in this present era of energy crisis. Mass transit bus service is provided on 830 individual routes on 145 lines over approximately 1,320 miles of area streets. WMATA operates 15,615 trips each weekday. Service is provided 24 hours each day with weekday service being defined as: Early Base 5:01 a.m. - 6:29 a.m. A.M. Rush 6:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. Midday Base 9:&l a.m. - 3:29 p.m. PAGENO="0096" 778 -11- P.M. Rush 3:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Late Base 6:01 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. Owl 12:01 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. Upon acquisition of the four area bus companies in 1973, WMATA adopted, with minor exceptions, the then existing fare structures. In March and April of 1975, seven public hearings were held on a unified fare structure (Docket No. B75-2). Following a review and analysis of testimony presented at the hearings, the Board of Directors adopted a new fare structure to be effective September 1,. 1975. The adopted system is a simplified zone fare structure with a peak/off-peak differential. An off-peak fare for senior citizens and handicapped of one-half or less of the corresponding peak hour fare was established. The fares and zones are shown on the table and maps on pages i~i~iiik. Ridership and Service The use of public bus transportation has declined at a rather steady rate throughout the Washington metropolitan area since the end of World War II, despite the rapid growth in urban population. The number of residents in the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) has virtually doubled since 1950, increasing from about 1.5 million in 1950 to nearly 2.9 million in 1970, according to the national population census. Use of bus transit, on the other hand, has decreased from about 678,000 daily riders at the time of the 1948 home interview origin-destination survey to approximately 435,000 daily riders in 1972. The approximately 438,000 daily riders in 1973 and the increase in the 19714 ridership indicate a reversal of this downward trend.

METR0RAIL General The Adopted Regional System was adopted in March 1968, revised in February 1969 and in June 1970, and was authorized by Congress in December 1969. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held at the Judiciary Square Station on December 9, 1969 and, thus, construction of the system was officially underway. This system will provide 38.3 miles of transit service in the District of Columbia; 29.4 miles in Maryland, and 30.3 miles in Virginia. The system will have 86 stations, including 53 underground. Forty-three stations will be located in the District of Columbia, twenty-two in Maryland, and twenty-one in Virginia. All stations will be equipped with escalators to provide service to and from street to the mezzanine and to the platform level. All stations will also be equipped with elevators to accommodate the handicapped. On March 6, 1975, the Board approved, subject to the availability of funding, a three-mile extension to the vicinity of Shady Grove Road in Montgomery County, Maryland. it is expected that Metrorail and Metrobus will serve 455,500,000 riders per year by 1990, and will connect areas of residential *.déns~tywithereas.of.concentrated employment, both those existing and those which are projected to develop in the future As a partof a fully coordinated transportation system, Metrorail will have ample parking, bus and automobile access. Parking facilities will have capacity ranging from 100 to 3,000 cars with a system total of approximately 29,300 spaces. An extensive Metrobus feeder system will provide ftequent convenient service to Metrorail stations from all stations of the region including those currently not served by buses. Upon completion of the full 98-mile system, service will be provided with a two-minute rush-hour headway on main routes and four-minute headways on branch lines. Metrorail will operate daily from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Proposed Metrorail Fare Structure As a result of the public hearings held in March and April, 1975 a committee of the WMATA Board of Directors has proposed a Metrorail PAGENO="0101" 783 - 16- fare system which is now under consideration by the local jurisdic- tions prior to adoption by the WMATA Board of Directors. The public hearings also contained a proposal for the frequency of service for Phases I and II of the Metrorail system. These proposals, now under consideration, are as follows: o A Metrorail fare structure of 30 cents for the first mile and 10 cents for each additional mile during peak periods o A Metrorail fare of 25 cents for the first mile and 5 cents for each additional mile during the off-peak o Senior citizen/handicapped patron off-peak fare level of 50~ of the peak fare Metrorail Hours of Operation and Frequency of Service Phase I, which will run from Rhode Island Avenue Station on the "B" route to Farragut North Station on the "A" route, will cover a total of six stations and 4.5 miles. Trains will run five days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with five-minute headways during rush hours and ten-minute headways during the entire day which is tentatively set to maintain the weekday hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Phase II will add service between the National Airport Station on the "C" route and the Stadium-Armory Station on the "D" route. Also, service will be extended on the "A route from the Farragut North Station to the Dupont Circle Station. This will provide service to 25 stations along 18 miles of the system. The increased ridership that will develop from the additional routes and stations brought into operation and from the sharp influx of visitors attracted by the Bicentennial celebration calls for an extension of service over that provided in Phase I. During Phase I, service will beextended from 6:00 a.m. to.l2:OO a.m. on weekdays with five-minute headways durLng rush hours and ten-minute headways during off-peak hours. Weekend service will continue as in Phase I with ten-minute headways tentatively set between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Parking Policy at Metrorail Stations Due to the limited amount of parking to be provided at Metro- rail stations and the desire to encourage feeder bus as the prime mode of arrival, the following parking policy is under consideration for the WMATA Metrorall parking lots: o Parking fee will be based on a flat daily rate. o Parking fee will be $1.00 in Metrorail lots through Phase II. o Parking will be free evenings and weekends (to encourage transit usage during those times).

It is also understood that a separate parking policy may have to be established at stations with delineated short-term parking (such as Takoma and Minnesota Avenue). V. PREVIOUS WMATA RAIL-BUS STUDIES With the adoption of the Regional System by the WMATA Board on March 1, 1968, rapid rail transit development had reached the stage where a final and conclusive financial program had to be developed for submission to the federal and local governments. In order to develop the plan, an equitable and practical inter- connecting feeder bus system and fare structure had to be included. 1969 - Net Income Analysis Study The WMATA Board of Directors authorized the award of a contract in early 1968 to the joint venture frims of W.C. Gilman and Company, Inc. and Alan M. Voorhees and Associates, Inc. to conduct a study of traffic revenue and operating costs of the Regional Rapid Rail Plan and Program and including a description and discussion of coordinated bus and rail operations. This analysis covered the financial impact upon the four private bus companies and an analysis of three alternative fare systems. 1971 - Update Study of the Net Income Analysis - The objective of this study was to update the February, 1969 Traffic Revenue and Operating Costs Study to reflect the impact of new population and employment estimates for the Washington metro- politan area. In addition, the study assumed common ownership and operation of the rail and bus portions of the transit system, a unified fare structure, and unit costs updated to current (1970) * levels. Based on the assumption of common ownership and operation of the rail and bus portions of the system, this 1971 study estimated 352 million annual riders for the completed rail and coordinated bus system in 1990. Of the more than one_million daily transit trips forecast, 20 percent would use bus service exclusively while 81 percent would use bus service for at least part of the trip and the remaining 19 percent would use rail only. l97~+ - Transit Technical Studies On June 8, 1972, the WMATA Board approved the award of a contract to Wilbur Smith and Associates to conduct a series of Transit Technical Studies. The major objectives of the studies were to develop a plan to provide for the continuation of bus PAGENO="0104" 786 -19- service after the acquisition of the private bus companies, to assure efficient and economical operation of the area bus facilities before, during and after construction of the rapid rail system, and to establish a level of service compatible with the needs of the area. Among the principal products of the two-year series of studies are an on-bus origin-destination survey made in the fall of 1972, a statement of Metrobus service objectives, a short-range 197V75 integrated Metrobus service plan, analyses of numerous possible fare systems and fare schedules for Metrobus, a recommended garage construction and improvement program, and analyses of new ridership potentials through joint development of fringe parking lots and Metrobus express commuter services. - Numerous technical papers and Memorandum Reports which have been published for review and comment have enabled the staff to implement a number of improvements recommended during the conduct of the study. Other high priority recommendations are being investigated for possible implementation. l97~~ - Staff Plan and Program for Use of 620 New Buses The WMATA Office of Planning, through coordination with other departments and the participating local jurisdictions, developed a plan and program recommending Metrobus service improvements that could be implemented in conjunction with the delivery schedule of 620 new buses. Essentially, the plan provided for three scheduled implementation phases: Phase I, which provided for the first 100 bus deliveries to be used to supplement the existing Metrobus fleet so as to provide improved operations and to reduce overcrowding conditions on many of the lines This phase was implemented on April 28 l974~, Phase II, whichprovided for the next 369 vehicles to be used to replace older equipment. This action was to provide greater operating efficiency and more attractive and dependable service; and, Phase III, which provided for the remaining 151 new buses to be used to expand and improve service throughout the region. This portion of the plan was inaugurated on September 1, 19714. Also, in coordination with the WMATA Phase II program to improve service, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments implemented bus service improvements in the Congress Heights area of Southeast Washington, D.C., .as part of the Urban Corridor Demonstration Project. 19714 -Update Study of the Net Income Analysis The objective of this study was to provide information for the development of a revised financial plan for rail and bus operations, PAGENO="0105" 787 -20- and to develop information for recalculation of the local share of the net project cost of the transit system for allocation to each of the political subdivisions as required by the Capital Contributions Agreement of March 13, 1969. A further purpose of this Net Income Analysis Study was to develop updated information for planning and designing of stations and routes based on the latest land use activity data. Also, the requirement for the development of a feeder bus network adequate to serve the land use of the Washington metropolitan area in the year 1990 was considered. The study was to be completed by June 1, 19714, but the final report was delayed to include alterna- tive fare systems analysis and various operating characteristics. Based on the assumptions used in this study, an estimated 455,500,000 annual riders would be using the consolidated rail-bus system in 1990. Of the approximately 1.6 million daily transit trips forecast, 36 percent would use Metrobus exclusively while 73 percent would use bus service for at least part of the trip and the remaining 27 percentwould use rail only. 1975 - On-Board Bus Passenger Survey On January 16, 1975, the WMATA Committee on Development of the Metrobus Deficit Allocation Formula unanimously recommended that annual operating deficits beginning with Fiscal Year 1975 be allocated using specific formulae which measured costs and revenue. WMATA staff~conducted this system-wide bus passenger survey with technical and administrative assistance supplied by contract and with local jurisdictional assistance. 1975 - Environmental Impact Study of Contra-Flow Bus Lanes Along 14th and 15th Street Corridors This study was concerned with the development of one-way street and contra-flow bus operation on 14th and 15th Streets in downtown Washington. The contra-flow plan is part of a larger program to improve public transportation and encourage transit ridership in the National Capital Area. Such a concept is consistent with the goal of the Environ- mental Protection Agency to improve transit operations and to in- crease system ridership, which in turn reduces vehicle miles traveled. Bus Lane provisions were one of the sets of strategies promulgated by the EPA on December 6, 1973 (38 FR 234) for the three states (District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia) which make up the National Capital Interstate Air Quality Control Region. 1976 - Proposed Study - Transit System Planning for Metrobus Interface with Metrorail Phases II and III The primary purpose of this study is to provide detailed bus route planning for the consolidated rail-bus operations that will PAGENO="0106" 788 -21- o Link outlying shopping and business centers with the surrounding residential area o Provide continuation of certain radial routes within D.C. to serve riders not having direct Metro service, including areas between rapid rail stations o Link high employment areas not served directly by the rapid rail system with the nearest stations occur with the opening of the early stages of Metrorail. The basic route layout will be designed by the WMATA staff in coordination with the local jurisdictions. Consultant (COG) assistance will be secured to prepare ridership, revenue and operating cost data. Ridership will be evaluated for a low and high level of feeder bus service for each of the three corridors affected by the introduction of Metrorail operations. Study findings will provide guidelines as to the level of service that offers the most feasible and economical plan of operation. Also, the findings will supplement the staff study underway to detail an action plan for the interface of Metrorail and Metrobus service. VI. STAFF ACTION PLAN FOR INTERFACE OF METRORAIL AND METROBUS SERVICE DURING PHASE I OF METRO OPERATIONS This plan and program has been developed by the WMATA staff and is designed to maximize ridership and revenues through use of the combined rapid rail and surface Metrobus systems. Each Metrobus route has been carefully analyzed to determine the most attractive and feasible alternative route structure to interface with the Metrorail operations. In considering Metrobus route changes, special emphasis has been given to: (1) providing rail-bus connections that would offer convenient transfer privileges, (2) eliminating duplicate services where Metrorail would provide a speedier, more dependable and attractive service, (3) continuation of Metrobus routes where the rail system cannot adequately serve major destinations directly, and (14) the provision for more frequent service to areas now served, as well as extensions into certain communities where bus service is presently inadequate or nonexistent. ~jectl yes The primary objectives in the development of the bus routing network were to: o Link the residential areas with the rapid rail system a Improve crosstown and cross-county service PAGENO="0107" 789 -22- Service Classifications For use in design, five basic classifications of bus routes were identified as follows: o Feeder Route--a bus line that connects a tributary service area with a rail station, designed for the primary purpose of serving passengers who will continue on via rail to their ultimate destination o Complementary Radial Service--a bus route designed to give passengers going to major destinations a direct ride without need of transfer. Such a route performs the same basic function as a rail route, but serves passengers and those areas that cannot be well served by rail, including areas between stations. o Crosstown Service--a bus route running circumferentially or generally perpendicular to the rail routes and radial bus services o Cross-County Service--a bus route connecting outlying areas within the Transit District for the purpose of providing a minimum level of service to transit captive riders not other- wise served by the basic metropolitan bus and rail system o Owl Service--special skeletal service routes operated for riders requiring bus transportation in the early morning hours Service Gui~delines To assist in developing a logical and consistent bus-route design~service, guidelines were developed. These criteria were followed as closely as the geographic constraints of the area allowed. The principal guidelines are listed below for each of the service classifications: o Feeder Routes -- Feeder bus services should be provided when passengers from the bus route tributary area to the major destination can be given a faster and more convenient trip via a bus-rail combination than via a direct bus servi Ce. -- Feeder bus routes should provide opportunities for direct transfer to crosstown lines. -- Feeder bus routes should be designed to relieve surface street congestion in the central business district and areas of major business activity. PAGENO="0108" 790 -23- -- Feeder bus routes should be linked where possible to provide logical and useful outlying trunk services as, for example, connecting major non-downtown centers. -- Feeder bus services should be multi-purpose wherever possible; for instance, having a combined destination of a Metro station and an outlying office center would be desirable. -- Feeder bus services should be designed to minimize bus requirements. -- Feeder bus services should be introduced to serve new areas which could not have supported a through-bus service but which could support a feeder service. o Complementary Radial Services -- Complementary radial bus services should be provided where the rail system cannot adequately serve direct travel to major destinations, including areas between rail stations. -- Complementary radial bus services which are adjacent to stations in the downtown area or which have outer terminals near stations should be brought into or past these stations for the benefit of transfer passengers. o Crosstown Services -- Crosstown bus. routes should be designed wherever possible to offer high-frequency services. -- Crosstown bi.~s routes should connect.with rail stations and as many radial and feeder bus lines as possible and * should travel as straightas possible between these connect- ing points. o Cross-County Services -- Cross-county bus services should connect major outlying residential and employment areas. o Owl Service -- Basic owl service should operate over major traffic corridors to provide skeletal service during the hours when Metrorail is closed for cleaning and maintenance purposes.

Metrorail operational Phase II will include rail operations between the Stadium-Armory and National Airport Stations on lines C and D and between Rhode Island Avenue and Dupont Circle Stations on lines A and B. 2. The i4etrorail service will operate seven days per week. 3. Bus facilities at the Rhode Island Avenue Station implemented in operational Phase I will continue in use, and three bus bays will be available at the Potomac Avenue Station. Also, the Southwest Terminal located adjacent to the LtEnfant Plaza Station will continue to be available for bus operations. All other Metro Stations in the District of Columbia to be opened with Metrorail Phase II will not provide special bus facilities. L1~ All Metrobus service now entering the City from Virginia via Key Bridge will terminate at Rosslyn. Metrobus service will be maintained via Roosevelt, Memorial and the lkth Street Bridges although reduced to reflect a lower passenger demand caused by transfers to Metrorail. 5. Metrobus passengers will prefer to transfer to Metrorail for all or a part of their trip. This shift in passenger usage will permit a reduction in bus service. However, bus service will not be eliminated in any area and passengers will still be able to travel by bus if they so desire but may be required to transfer in order to reach their destination. 6 New Metrobus routes or extensions of existing route~ will * nat be proposed except where such changes are considered to be essential to the continuity of the transit system. Proposals of this type will be included in a supplement to this plan for later consideration. 7. All Metrobus service will be monitored frequently, and changes will be made that can be justified by passenger demand. PAGENO="0110" 792 -25- B. Proposed Metrobus Changes 1. Rosslyn, Georgetown, K Street, Federal Triangle, Union Station Areas With the proposal to terminate all Metrobus routes now entering the District of Columbia from Virginia via the Key Bridge at Rosslyn, it will be necessary to establish a new Metrobus route to replace the service in D.C. previously provided by Virginia Metrobus routes, as shown below: LINE: N Street-Visitor Center Line, Route M-6 Route M-6 - From Rosslyn via North Moore Street, bus roadway, North Lynn Street, Key Bridge, M Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington Circle, K Street, 114th Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Constitution Avenue, 1st Street, N.E. and National Visitor Center. SERVICE: Route M-6 will operate seven days per week from approx- imately 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., providing a 10-minute frequency of service during rush hours on weekdays and an approximate 15-minute frequency at other times. 2. Wisconsin Avenue, Georgetown, Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. and S.E., Shipley Terrace, Naylor Gardens and Hillcrest Areas The Pennsylvania Avenue Metrobus Line, Routes 30 through 39, now provides service between Friendship Heights and Shipley Terrace, Naylor Gardens and Hillcrest through the areas outlined above. Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will provide stations along or nearby the route of operation of the Pennsylvania Avenue Line between 1Iashington Circle ~nd 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E.* Therefore, it is proposed to make changes in. the service, now provided by, this~ line, as * shown below: LINE: Pennsylvania Avenue Line, Routes 30,3~',37,38 Route 30 - Friendship Heights to Potomac Avenue via present route through Georgetown. Route 38 - Friendship Heights to Federal Center Station (3rd and D, S.W.) via Wisconsin Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, 2Oth-2lst Streets, and regular route to Independence and 3rd Street, S.W. Route 38 - Friendship Heights to Federal Triangle Station via present route through Georgetown. Route 37 - Friendship Heights to Visitor Center - no change PAGENO="0111" 793 -26- NEW LINE: Sousa Bridge Line, Routes 32,314,36 Route 32 - Potomac Avenue to Shipley Terrace via present route. Route 314 - Potomac Avenue to Naylor Gardens via present route. Route 36 - Potomac Avenue to Hillcrest via present route. SERViCE: Since this phase of Metrorail operations will not serve the portion of the line north and west of Washington Circle, it is proposed to maintain approximately the amount of service presently provided west of the Federal Triangle. The amount of service east of Federal Triangle will be reduced. We will also take this opportunity to respond to a long standing request to divert a part of the Wisconsin Avenue base service via Massachusetts Avenue and thus avoid the Georgetown congestion. This change will also permit bus-rail transfers at the Dupont Circle Station. It is assumed that the Potomac Avenue Station will become a major rail-bus transfer station and that most Metrobus routes will originate or terminate at this station. Therefore, Routes 32, 314 and 36 will be separated from the main line and will operate as feeder routes to the Potomac Avenue Station and be a part of the Sousa Bridge Bridge Metrobus Line. The present 24-hour/7 days per week scope of service on the Pennsylvania Avenue line will be maintained. The present basic midday frequency of service along Wisconsin Avenue consisting of eight trips per hour will be divided to provide four trips per hour on Route 30 through Georgetown and four trips per hour on Route 38 via Massachusetts Avenue. This proposed time, schedule will continue to prov~de eight trips per hour along the route between the Maryland-D.C. Line *and Massachusetts Avenue and between 20th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. and 3rd and independence Avenue, S.W. The amount of service along the route between 3rd and Ii,dependence Avenue, S.W. and 15th and Pennsylvania Avenue, S.E. will be reduced by 50~. During weekday rush hours it is proposed to increase the number of trips on Routes 30 and 38 to six per hour. The present Route 37 peak- hour schedule of five trips per hour will provide a total of 11 trips in the peak hour via Massachusetts Avenue. The six Route 30 peak-hour trips will be supplemented by a sufficient number of Route 30 Federal Triangle trips to meet the peak-hour require- ment of 214 trips through Georgetown. The number of trips now provided on Routes 32, 314 and 36 will continue to operate as the feeder routes between Potomac Avenue and the Eastern terminals. PAGENO="0112" 794 -27- 3. MacArthur Boulevard, Glover Park, Dupont Circle, CBD, Union Station, Trinidad and Ivy City Areas The Glover Park-Trinidad Line, Routes D-2, D-14, operates through the Central Business District of the City and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and Union Station. The Route D-l and D-3 rush hour branches of this line will duplicate the portion of Phase II Metrorail service between the Federal Triangle Station and the Federal Center Station. In order to minimize this duplication of service, this line will be revised, as shown below: LINE: Glover Park-Trinidad Line, Routes Dl,D2,D3,D4,D9 Route D-l - Glover Park to Federal Triangle (cut back) Route D-2 - Glover Park to Ivy City (no change) Route D-3 - Mass. & Sangamore to Federal Triangle (cut back) Route D-4 - Sibley Hospital to Farragut Square via Q Street (cut back) Route D-9 - Sibley Hospital to Farragut Square via K Street (cut back) NEW LINE: Brentwood Road Line, Route E-8 Route E-8 - Union Station to Rhode island Avenue via Trinidad SERVICE: It is proposed to reduce Metrobus service on this line only in the area of duplicating service. Therefore, the number of trips now operating on the various routes will continue to be operated on the proposed routes. New Route E-8 will provide the same number of trips as previously scheduled on the east end of the D-14 route. * k. Mount Pleasant, Dupont Circle, CBD, Union Station, Stadium- Armory, Seat. PleasantAreas * * :; *~ The Mount Pleasant Line, Routes 140, 142, operates through the Central Business District of the City and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and Union Station. Route 144 is the owl service on this line and will be operating at times when the Metrorail is inactive. Route 145 operates between Mt. Pleasant and l14th and C Streets, S.W., and will duplicate Metrorail service between Dupont Circle and the Smithsonian Station. In order to minimize this duplication of service, the line will be revised, as shown below: LINE: Mount Pleasant Line, Routes 140,142,1414 Route 40 - Union Station to Seat Pleasant (cut back) Route 42 - Mount Pleasant to Stadium-Armory (no change) Route 44 - Mount Pleasant to Stadium-Armory (owl - no change) PAGENO="0113" 795 -28- SERVICE: It is proposed to reduce Metrobus service on this line only in the area of duplicating service. There- fore, the number of trips now operating on Routes 42 and 44 will be continued and the number of trips now operating on Route 40 east of Union Station will be continued. All Route 45 trips will be discontinued. 5. Connecticut Avenue, Southwest Employment Areas The Connecticut Avenue Line, Routes L-2,L-3,L-14,L-5,L-6, L-7, serves the entire length of Connecticut Avenue, the Central Business District, Potomac Park and the Southwest Employment Area. While the south end of Routes L-2, L-4, L-6 and L-7 duplicates Phase II Metrorail operations between Dupont Circle and the Federal Triangle, there appears to be adequate justification at present for these routes to continue without change. Route L-5 will not duplicate Metrorail operations and will not be revised. However, Route L-3 will duplicate Phase II Metrorail operations south of Farragut West Station and is proposed to be discontinued as Route L-3 and reassigned to L-4 trips. LINE: Connecticut Avenue Line, Routes L2,L14,L5,L6,L7 Route L-3 - (To or from S.W. Mall) Discontinue; reassign as L-4. SERVICE: The present frequency of service on the Connecticut Avenue line will continue without change except that all Route L-3 trips will be scheduled as L-4 trips. 6. Sixteenth Street, Potomac Park, Southwest Employment Areas The Sixteenth Street Metrobus Line, Routes S-l,S-2,S-3,S-4, * s-5,s-6,:serves. the entire length of 16th Street, N.W., the Central Business District Potomac Park area and the Southwest Employment Area. The south end ofRoutes S-2,S-4,S-5 and S-6 duplicates only a small portion of Phase II Metrorail operations and is not recommended for change at this time. It is proposed to reroute S-i northbound and southbound service so as to serve the Foggy Bottom Station in both directions. It is also proposed to discontinue all S.W. Mall service since Route S-3 would duplicate Metrorail service between McPherson Square and Federal Center Stations. It is proposed to reassign these S-3 trips to operate at S-2 trips. LINE: Sixteenth Street Line, Routes Sl,S2,S4,S5,S6 Route S-i - (To and from Potomac Park) Reroute via Foggy Bottom Station. Route S-3 - (To and from S.W. Mall) Discontinue; reassign to S-2. 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt.2 - 8 PAGENO="0114" 796 -29- SERVICE: The present frequency of service on the 16th Street line will continue without change except that all Route S-3 trips will be scheduled as S-2 trips. 7. South Capitol Street, Southwest Employment, CBD Areas The South Capitol Street Express Line, Route A-9, provides rush hour express type service from the Livingston area of the City to the Federal Triangle area via South Capitol Street. The Atlantic Street Terminal Express Line, Route W-9, provides rush hour express type service from South Capitol and Atlantic Streets through the Southwest Employment Area to the Farragut Square area. The Route W-3 branch of this line now operates between South Capitol and Atlantic Streets and the Southwest Employment Area. Operational Phase II of tietrorail service will duplicate the service povided by Routes A-9 and W9 north of the Southwest Employment Area. Therefore, it is proposed to combine these lines and terminate all routes at the Southwest Terminal and reroute to operate via South Capitol Street, N Street, S.W., 6th Street, I Street, 7th Street and D Street to the Southwest Terminal located at 9th and D Streets, S.W. LINE: South Capitol Street Line, Routes A3,A9 Route A-3 - South Capitol and Atlantic Streets to South- west Terminal. Route A-9 - Livingston to Southwest Terminal SERVICE: The present Route A-9 time schedule will be maintained. The present Route \I_3,W_9 service will be redesignated Route A-3 and approximately 8o2~ of the number of trips now scheduled on Routes W-3 and W-9 will be scheduled on Route A-3. 8. Federal Triangle, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Anacostia, Congress Heights, Bellévue and.Livingston Areas : The Anacostia-Congress Heights Metrobus Line, Routes A-l, A-2,A~1 and A-8, now provides service from 10th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. to the Greater Southeast Community Hospital, Belle- vue and Livingston through the areas outlined above. With operational Phase II of Metrorail service, it is proposed to change Routes A-l,A-2 and A-Li to operate via E Street, New Jersey Avenue, Independence Avenue and L~th Street so as to serve the Capitol South Station and to extend Routes A-2 and A-1i to 12th Street so as to serve the Federal Triangle Station. It is also proposed to change Route A-8 to operate via 8th Street, S.E. and terminate at the Eastern Market Station. The present single outbound Route A-3 trip and the one round trip on Route A-5 will be discontinued. These proposed changes are shown below: PAGENO="0115" 797 -30- LINE: Anacostia-Congress Heights Line, Routes Al,A2,A14,A8 Route A-I - Atlantic and South Capitol Streets to Potomac Park.

Midday service will be required between the Foggy Bottom Station and the Potomac Park area. There- fore, it is proposed that the Government Building Service, Route M-l, be extended on the west end of the line from the State Department to the Foggy Bottom Station. The entrance to the Federal Center Station will be located at 3rd and D Streets, S.W. Metrobus Routes 60 and M-2 now operate along L~th Street at D, S.W. Therefore, Route 60 will be changed to operate via ~th Street, S.W., E Street, 3rd Street, C Street, 14th Street, S.W., and regular route in each direction. Route M-2 will be changed so as to serve both the Federal Center and Capitol South Stations and will operate via kth Street, E Street, 3rd Street, C Street, Canal Street, D Street, 1st Street, S.E. and regular route. Route revisions outlined previously will provide Metrobus connections with theCapitol South Station from the south and west but adequate Metrobus service will be required to the Capitol Hill area. Therefore, it is proposed to change Route M-l to operate via C Street, S.W., Canal Street, D Street and 1st Street, S.E., in both directions. It is also proposed to change Route R-~ to operate via Independence Avenue, S.W., Canal Street, D Street and 1st Street, S.E., in both directions.

Route P-7 operates through the Southwest Employment Area to Connecticut and K Street, N.W. and Route P-9 operates through the Federal Triangle area to 21st and C Streets, N.W. Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will duplicate Route P~-7 operations north of the L'Enfant Plaza Station. Revised Routes A-3 and A-9 will provide direct service from the parking lot to LEnfant Plaza. Therefore, it is proposed to discontinue Route P-7. LINE: South Capitol Street Parking Lot Service, Routes P-7,P-9 Route P-7 - South Capitol Street Parking Lot to Farragut Square - discontinue. SERVICE: The present schedule on Route P-9 will be maintained. 13.. Fairfax Village, Naylor Gardens, Stanton Road, Southeast Community Hospital,~ Livingston, Anacostia, Southwest ~ployment, CBD, Farragut Square Areas The Southeast Express Metrobus Line, Routes V-l ,V-3,V-5,V-7, V-9, provides rush hour express type service in the areas outlined above. Routes V-l and V-3 enter the Southwest Employment Area via South Capitol Street and Routes V-5,V-7 and V-9 enter this area via the Southwest Freeway. Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will duplicate these routes north of L'Enfant Plaza Station. Therefore, it is proposed to terminate all trips on the Southeast Express Line at the Southwest Terminal located adjacent to the L'Enfant Plaza Station. LINE: Southeast Express Line, Routes Vl ,V3,V5,V7,V9 Route V-i - Naylor Gardens to Southwest Terminal Route V-3 - Southeast Community Hospital to Southwest Terminal Route V-5 - Fairfax Village to Southwest Terminal Route V-i - Stanton Road to Southwest Terminal RouteV-9 - Liv;ngston to Southwest Terminal SERVICE: The existing frequency of service will be maintained on all routes. l~4. Massachusetts Avenue, DupontCircle, Farragut Square, Federal Triangle Areas The Massachusetts Avenue Metrobus Line, Routes N-l,N-2,N-3 and N-4, serve the Massachusetts Avenue corridor between Glen Echo, Maryland and the Central Business District. Routes N-l and N-3 operate to the Southwest Employment Area and will be duplicated by Metrorail service south of the Federal Triangle Station. Therefore, it is proposed to terminate Routes N-l and N-3 in the Federal Triangle area. Route N-2 and rush hour Route N-~ trips now terminate at 18th and H Streets, N.W. Non-rush hour Route PAGENO="0118" 800 -33- N-k trips now terminate at 13th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. and will be duplicated by Metrorail service south and east of Farragut Square.

LINE: Massachusetts Avenue Line, Routes Nl,N2,N3,Nk,N5 Route N-l - Friendship Heights to Federal Triangle via Potomac Park Route N-2 - Friendship Heights to Farragut Square Route N-3 - Wesley Heights to Federal Triangle via Potomac Park Route N-k - Glen Echo or Wesley Heights to Farragut Square SERVICE: The present frequency of service now scheduled on the Massachusetts Avenue Line will be maintained on the revised routes. 15.. Bladensburg Road, Stadium-Armory, Anacostia, Fort Stanton, Barry Farms Areas The Bladensburg Road Line, Route B-2, operates between the Chillum area of Prince George's County, Maryland and the Martin Luther King Avenue and Good Hope Road area of D.C., passing the Stadium-Armory and Potomac Avenue Stations. In order to improve operations and to permit the schedule to be designed to meet the needs of the majority of passengers, it is proposed to divide this line into two segments with Route B-2 serving that portion of the line north of Potomac Avenue and reassigning the portion south of Potomac Avenue to the Sousa Bridge Line renumbering this portion as Route B-k. It is also proposed to combine the Fort Stanton Park line, Route B-3, and the Barry Farms line, Route B-5, with new Route B-k and provide direct service to the Potomac Avenue Station. These proposed changes are outlined below: ..~L!NE:~ Bladensbur9 Road Line, Route B-2 Route B-2 - Potomac Avenue to Chillum Route B-Z - Potomac Avenue to Mt. Rainier NEW LINE: Sousa Bridge Line, Routes B-3,B-k,B-5 Route B-3 - Potomac Avenue to Fort Stanton Route B-k - Potomac Avenue to Anacostia Route B-S - Potomac Avenue to Barry Farms SERVICE: The frequency of service now provided on Routes B-2, B-3 and B-5 will be maintained on the revised routings. 16. Benning Heights, Ridge Road, Potomac Avenue, M Street, Southwest Employment Areas The South Washington Line, Routes V-k,V-6, now provides Metrobus service in areas outlined above. Route v-k operates between 14th PAGENO="0119" 801 and C Streets, S.W. and Texas Avenue and Burns Street, S.E., and Route V-6 operates between 114th and C Streets, S.W. and 33rd and Blame Streets, N.E. Changes proposed for the Benning Metrobus Line, Routes U and X, to serve the Stadium-Armory Metrorail Station will duplicate that portion of Route V-6 north of Minnesota Avenue and East Capitol Street. Therefore, it is proposed to change Route V-6 to serve Benning Heights, as shown below: LINE: South Wash~j~gton Line, Routes V-14,V-6 Route v-4 - Bureau of Engraving to Ridge Road - no change Route V-6 - Bureau of Engraving to Benning Heights - over present route to Minnesota Avenue and Ridge Road then via Ridge Road, Texas Avenue, F Street, 146th Street, Hanna Place, H Street, Alabama Avenue, F Street and return over the same route. SERVICE: The frequency of service now provided on Routes V-4 and v-6 will be maintained on the revised routings. 17. seat Pleasant, East Capitol Street, Federal Triangle Areas The East Capitol Street Express Line, Routes X-7,X-9, now provides rush hour express type service from the East Capitol Street corridor to the Southwest Employment Area by Route X-7 and to the Federal Triangle area by Route X-9. Operational Phase II of Metrorail will duplicate Route X-7 service west of the Stadium-Armory Station. Therefore, since present Route X-7 riders can be accommodated by Route ~40 east of the station and by Metrorail west of the station, it is proposed to discontinue Route X-7. Route X-9 will continue its present operations. LINE: East Capitol Street Express, Route X-9 Route X-7 - Seat Pleasant to Bureau of Engraving - discontinue Route X-9 - Seat Pleasant to Federal Triangle - no change SERVICE: The time schedule nbw operated by Route X-9 will continue without change. All Route X-7 trips will be discontinued. 18 . Far Northeast, Benning Road, H Street, CBD Areas The Benning Road Line, Routes U and X, provides Metrobus service along the Benning Road-H Street corridor between Lafayette Square and seven separate destinations in the far Northeast-Southeast area. Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will directly duplicate the operations of Route U-5 west of the Stadium-Armory Station and will provide rail service nearby the entire Benning Road Metrobus Line at the Stadium-Armory, Union Station, Gallery Place and Metro Center Stations. In order to reduce duplicating services and provide Benning Road Line riders the opportunity to utilize Metrorail service, it is proposed to redesign Metrobus routings in this corridor. PAGENO="0120" 802 -35- Route U-14 will be changed to operate via Minnesota Avenue and East.Capitol Street and terminate at Stadium-Armory. Routes U-2,U-$ and U-8 will operate over their present route to the H Street ramp to the Visitor Center and will terminate at Union Station. Routes U-6,X-l,X-2 and X-3 will not be changed. Route X-Z, Mayfair-Parkside service, will be combined with ~ new branch from River Terrace and designated X-6 and X-$ to operate to the Stadium-Armory. Route x-8 will be.changed to operate via Maryland Avenue, C-D Streets and Massachusetts Avenue to Union Station. All Route U-5 service will be discontinued. These changes are listed below: LINE: Benning Road Line, Routes U & X / Route U-Z - Kenilworth to Union Station -Route U-2 - Seat Pleasant to Union Station via Kenilworth Route U-Li - Sheriff Road to Stadium-Armory Route u-6 - 60th and East Capitol to Lafayette Square Route U-ų - Capitol View to Union Station Route u-8 - Benning Heights to Union Station Route X-l - Any eastern terminal to Potomac Park Route X-2 - Seat Pleasant to Lafayette Square Route X-3 - Any eastern terminal to 19th & R Streets, N.W. Route x-8 - Carver Terrace to Union Station NEW LINE: Mayfair-River Terrace Line, Routes x-6,X-ų Route x-6 - Mayfair-Parks ide to Stadium-Armory Route X-~ - 33rd & Blame to Stadium-Armory SERVICE: The present frequency of service on each branch of the Benning Road line will be maintained where justified. However, trip times will be adjusted to provide a coordinated service along the route. 19. Kennedy Center, Fog9y Bottom, Dupont Circle, Mt. Pleasant Areas It Is not practical tōdivert any of the existing Metrobus lines to provide connections between the~Kennedy Center, Foggy Bottom Station and Dupont Circle Station. There will be a require- ment for Metrobus service between the Foggy Bottom Station and the Kennedy Center, particularly during hours of the day when performances are scheduled at the Kennedy Center. In addition, a Metrobus route along New Hampshire Avenue between Dupont Circle and Washington Circle will be beneficial to employees and residents of the area. Also, with the elimination of Route LcO, additional Metrobus service will be needed between Mt. Pleasant and Dupont Circle. Therefore, It is proposed to establish a new line to operate between Mt. Pleasant and the Kennedy Center to serve the Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom Metro Stations. PAGENO="0121" 803 -36- LINE: Kennedy Center-Columbia Road Line, Route 46 Route 46 - Kennedy Center to Mt. Pleasant SERVICE: it is proposed to provide service seven days per week with a 15-minute rush hour and a 20-minute base frequency of service. 20. 14th Street, Southwest Mall Areas Operational Phase II of Metrorail service will not duplicate the 14th Street Metrobus service except for the weekday rush hour service provided by Route 53 to the Southwest Mall area. Therefore, it is proposed to discontinue Route 53 service and reassign these trips to Route 50. LINE: Fourteenth Street Line, Routes.50,52,53,54,56,58 Route 53 - Discontinue SERVICE: Reassign all Route 53 trips to Route 50. PAGENO="0122" 804 Page lof2 -37- C.

Additional Metrobus Service Proposals The following Metrobus service proposals are designed to meet current trends of Increasing ridership and to link high-density residential areas, served directly by neither the rapid rail system nor Metrobus, with the nearest stations. 1. Extend Routes A-2 and A-k to 11th Street and New York Avenue, N.W. The first proposal to change Metrobus routes to coordinate with operational Phase II of Metrorail service recon~iiended extending Routes A-2 and A-k from 10th and Pennsylvania, N.W. to 12th Street. This proposal was considered a minimum recommendation and gave priority to rail-bus connections at the Federal Triangle Station. Rail-bus passengers will be better served by extending Routes A-2 and A-k to 11th and New York Avenue, N.W. since the Metro Center Station will be served, and bus passengers can transfer directly to either Metrorail line. Additionally, such an extension will directly serve the F and G Street shopping district. This extension will increase miles by approximately 0.35 miles on each round trip. LINE: Anacostia-Congress Heights Line, Routes Al,A2,A4,A8 Routes A-2 and A-k - Operate over regular route to kth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., then westerly on Pennsylvania Avenue, north on 11th Street, east on New -. York Avenue to terminal stand. Return via south on 10th Street, easterly on Pennsylvania Avenue and regular route. SERVICE: The present frequency of service on Routes A-2 and A-k will be maintained. SUMMARY: This proposed extension will reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by one bus and by 67 miles on weekdays, kk miles on Saturdays and kO miles on Sundays. 2. Extend Route B-2 from New Hampshire and Eastern to Takoma Park Metrobus service Is not now available along Eastern Avenue between New Hampshire Avenue and Carroll Avenue, a distance of approximately one mile. This extension of Route B-2 would provide Metrobus service to an area not now served and will be in operation before the Metrorail service is extended through Takoma Park when such service will be required. LINE: Bladensburg Road Line, Route B-2 Route B-2 - Potomac Avenue to Takoma Park SERVICE: The present frequency of service provided to Chillum will be maintained on the extension to Takorna Park. PAGENO="0144" 826 SUMMARY: This proposed extension will reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by one bus and by 64 miles on weekdays, 46 miles on Saturdays and 44 miles on Sundays. 3. Extend New Route B-4 thrēugh Fort Stanton Park to Alabama Avenue The first proposal to *change Metrobus routes to coordinate with operational Phase II of Metrorail service recommended separating that portion of the Bladensburg Road line south of the Potomac Avenue Statl'on f~romthe main line and designating this portion of service as Route B-l+. It was also recommended that Route B-3 be combined with Route B-4 during weekday rush hours. The area between 18th and Frankfdrd Street, S.E. and Alabama Avenue is now served by five a.m. and fIve p.m. weekday Route V-l trips. Therefore, in order to provide a viable transit service to this area of the City, it is recomended that selected trips of new Route B-4 be extended to Alabama Avenue all day on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays via the appropriate portions of Routes B-3, B-4 and V-l and be designated as Route B-6. LINE: Sousa Bridge Line, Routes 32,34,36,B14,B5,B6 Route B-6 Potomac Avenue to Alabama and Ainger SERVICE: It is proposed to operate a number of B-6 trips in rush hours equal to the present B-3 schedule, a 30-minute midday service on weekdays and hourly service at n4ght and all day Saturday and Sunday. SUMMARY: This proposed extension will reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by one bus and by 108 miles on weekdays, 67 miles on Saturdays and 67 miles on Sundays. 4. Extend New Route E-8 to Hospital Center The first proposal to change Metrobus routes to coordinate with operational Phase II of Metrorail service recommended that a new Route E-8 be established to operate between Union Station and the RhOde Island Avenue Station. Through extending this new route to the Hospital Center, an important link will be created between the Center and the Rhode Island Avenue Metro Station. Additionally, by selecting the route through 4th Street, Edgewood Street and 7th Street to Michigan Avenue, a large apartment complex and residential neighborhood can be linked to the Rhode Island Avenue Station. LINE: Brentwood Road Line, Route E-8 Route E-8 - Union Station to Hospital Center SERVICE: It is proposed to provide the same amount of service on the extension of Route E-8 as proposed for the original route. PAGENO="0145" 827 SUMMARY: The proposed extension will add approximately six miles to each round trip. This extension will reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by two buses and by 348 miles on weekdays, by 270 miles on Saturdays and by 1714 miles on Sundays. 5. Extend Route 34 from Naylor Gardens to Eastover Southern Avenue has now been extended from 13th Street to 23rd Street, S.E. A bridge has been constructed over the Suitland Parkway but connecting ramps to Southern are not yet completed. It is anticipated that these ramps will be in place by the time the Phase II of the Metrorail system becomes operational. With the completion of these ramps, Southern Avenue will be open from Naylor Road to South Capitol Street and it will be possible to link all neighborhoods along this corridor by Metrobus. Therefore, it is proposed to extend selected trips on Route 314 to Eastover via Southern Avenue. LINE: Sousa Bridge Line, Routes 32,34,36,B1+,B5,B6 Route 34 Potomac Avenue to Eastover SERVICE: It is proposed to provide a 40-minute frequency of service between approximately 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., seven days per week on this route extension. SUMMARY: The extension of Route 34 to Eastover would reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by one bus and by 157 miles on weekdays, Saturday and Sunday. 6. Establish a New Route to Operate Between the Southwest Terminal and Livingston Many requests have been received to provide all day service between downtown and the Livingston area via South Capitol Street. Also, requests have been received to provide Metrobus service closer to the waterfront along Maine Avenue to serve restaurant patrons and employees. These requests can be satisfied by establishing a new route to operate from the Southwest Terminal via D Street, 12th Street, Maine Avenue, M Street and South Capitol Street to Livingston. LINE: South Capitol Street Line, Route A-6 Route A-6 - Southwest Terminal to Livingston via Maine Avenue SERVICE: Revised Route A-9 service should satisfy the passenger demand during weekday rush hours in the flow direction. A 30-minute frequency of service is recommended at all other times between approximately 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. 62-418 0- 76 - Pt.2 - 10 PAGENO="0146" 828 -61- SUMMARY: Since the rush hour flow direction service will be provided by revised Route A-9, additional buses will not be required duringpeak periods. However, this new route will reduce the savings outlined in the original proposal by approximately 275 miles on weekdays and by 400 n~iles on Saturdays and Sundays. 7. Establish a New Route to Link the Potomac Avenue Station With the Residential Area Bounded by Minnesota Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, Texas Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue Requests have been received for weekday rush hour Metrobus service to the area outlined above. These requests can be satisfied by establishing a new route to serve this area over the following possible routing: Pennsylvania Avenue, Minnesota Avenue, N Street, Branch Avenue, Pope Street, Carpenter Street, Texas Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. If implemented, this new service will be designated Route 35.

METROBUS CHANGES IN MARYLAND PROPOSED FOR COORDINATION WITH OPERATIONAL PHASE II OF METRORAIL A. General Assumptions 1. The majority of the routes serving Montgomery County will not connect with the Phases I and II Metrorai~l operation. Those Interstate express routes that operate from Montgomery County to the Southwest Mall employment area will be able to transfer passengers at the downtown Federal Triangle Station. 2. Prince George's County Metrobus routes operating in the Queens Chapel Road, Rhode Island Avenue, and Annapolis Road corridors will be changed to terminate at the Rhode Island Avenue Station. 3. PrInce George's County Metrobus routes operating in the Kenilworth Avenue, Palmer Highway, and Central Avenue corridors will be changed to terminate at the Stadium-Arrr~ry Station. 4. PrInce George's County Metrobus routes operating in the Marlboro Pike, Pennsylvania Avenue, Suitland Road, and Branch Avenue corridors will be changed to terminate at the Potomac Avenue Station. 5. Prince George's County Metrobus routes operating in the Indian Head Highway corridor will be changed to terminate at the. Capitol South Station. 6. By. terminating service at these stations, operating economies can be achieved, and passengers will be provided a speedier and more dependable trip to their downtown destinations. B. Ridership - 1. The number of passengers transferring between Metrobus and Metrorail is based on the latest available passenger data. 2. A total of 793 daily transfers between Metrorail and Montgomery County Metrobus service will occur at the Federal Triangle Station. Of this total, 331 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. 3. A total of 4,225 daily transfers between Metrorail and Prince George's County Metrobus service will occur at the Rhode Island Avenue Station. Of this total, 1,392 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. 4. A total of 1,613 daily transfers between Metrorail and Prince George's County Metrobus service will occur at the Stadium- Armory Station. Of this total, 323 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. PAGENO="0149" 831 5. A total of 5,926 daily transfers between Metrorail and Prince George's County Metrobus service will occur at the Potomac Avenue Station. Of this total, 1,288 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. 6. A total of 2,077 daily transfers between Metrorail and Prince Georges County Metrobus service will occur at the Capitol South Station. Of this total, 415 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. C. Operating Characteristics 1. With the cutback of bus service at the rail stations, Maryland Metrobus routes will operate 2,042 less revenue miles each weekday. 2. It Is estimated that the termination of Maryland Metrobus routes at the rail stations will result in a reduction of 25 buses in the bus fleet requirements in Maryland. PAGENO="0150" 832 -65- D. Summary of Route Changes 1. ~ē~gomery County Dedicated Service Phases I and II of Metrorail operations will have minimal impačt on Montgomery County bus service. Since convenient rail service will be provided between Capitol South-Federal Center, S.W.- L'Enfant Plaza-Smithsonian Stations and the Federal Triangle Station, all bus services from Montgomery County to Southwest Mall could be terminated at the Federal Triangle Station, reducing bus mileage operated and providing a more convenient and attractive service to the public, but not reducing peak period bus requirements.

Prince George's County Dedicated Service Phases I and II of Metrorail operations will have a major Impact on Prince George's County bus service. P.G. County routes can or do connect with Metrorail service at Rhode island Avenue, Stadium-Armory, Potomac Avenue, and Capitol South Stations. By terminating P.G. County routes at these stations, a considerable reduction in mileage operated can be achieved, and a reduction in bus requirements by approximately 25 vehIcles can be effected during the peak periods.

Implementation of the additional services as proposed will increase weekday revenue miles of operatIon by 1,038. implementation of the additional services as proposed will increase the bus fleet requirements for Maryland service by 17 buses. PAGENO="0163" 845 1. New Route W-14 - Fort Foote to Capitol South From Oxon Hill Road and Fort Foote Road, via Fort Foote Road, Oxon Hill Road, Kerby lUll Road, Livingston Road, Lindsay Road, Leyte Drive, Haven Avenue, Wentworth Drive, Livingston Road, Indian Head Highway, South Capitol Street, and D Street to Capitol South Station. (12.9 miles one-way) Service to~óperate at 30-minute frequency during peak periods and 120-minute frequency during off-peak and Saturday: 20 trips on weekdays, 16 trips on Saturdays.

PAGENO="0165" 847 -80- IX. METROBUS CHANGES PROPOSED FOR COORDINATION WITH OPERATIONAL PHASE II OF METRORAIL IN VIRGINIA A. General Assumpt Tons 1. Metrorail operational Phase II will Include rail operations between the Stadium-Armory and National Airport Stations, serving the Rosslyn, Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon, Pentagon City, Crystal City and National Airport Stations In Virginia. 2. Metrorall service to Virginia will operate seven days per week. 3. All Metrobus routes operating across Key Bridge between Rosslyn and Washington, D.C. will terminate at the Rosslyn Station. Passengers will transfer to the rail system for downtown locations or to new Metrobus Route M-6 for intermediate points including Georgetown. Metrobus routes operating through Rosslyn and across Roosevelt Bridge will be maIntained, except service will terminate at~ederal Triangle in lieu of operating to Southwest Hall. 4. Generally, most Metrobus routes operating across Memorial Bridge will remain as presently operated. 5. All Metrobus routes operating in the Shirley Highway corridor will be changed to terminate at either the Pentagon or Federal Triangle. Transfer to the rail line at the Pentagon Station for Farragut Square bound riders will offer a substantial time savings over that presently provided by bus. Service will be maintained across the 14th Street Bridge to Federal Triangle or Southwest Mall, although at a lower frequency of service, until the Metrorall South River Crossing Is operational. 6. A reduced frequency of Metrobus service will be provided between the Pentagon and Federal Triangle areas across the 14th Street Bridge from the Columbia Pike and South Arlington corridors. 7. Due to limited Metrorail facilities at either Crystal City or Pentagon City, routes operating in the Jefferson Davis Highway corridor will eIther be: routed to the Pentagon Station or contlnueoperating to Federal Triangle. 8. ApproxImately one-third of the service operating In the George Washington Parkway corridor from the south will be terminated at the National Airport Station. B. Justification for Cutback of Virginia Buses at Metrorail Stations 1. Impact on Cost and Deficit a. Cutting back of bus service at the rail stations would reduce miles and time.~. PAGENO="0166" 848 -81- b. Better allocation of costs would be possible with a majority of service operating intra-Virginia. c. Cost of operating rail could be offset by the reduction in cost of providing bus service. d. A reduction In the length of routes would result in a reduction of cost per trip provided; i.e., buses now able to operate only one trip in the rush hour would be available for second trips. e. More utilization of each bus would also reduce manpower requirements based upon the same amount of service presently provided. 2. Impact on Passengers a. Buses could achieve better schedule adherence through eliminating that portion of their route in the congested downtown area. b. More frequent service could be provided on many routes running identical routes in. the suburbs but serving different employment centers. For example, Route 28G to Farragut Square and 28~ to the~ Pentagon could be combined to serve the Pentagon Station providing service to both employment centers with one route. c. Passengers in many cases will be required to transfer to complete their home to work trip due to cutting of service at the rail stations. However, this inconvenience will be more than offset by wider coverage of the suburban area, more frequent service, more reliable service, and in many cases, the time required to complete a trip will be reduced. d. While the effects of Phase Ii of Metrorail will have more impact on ridership from Virginia, the impact on ridership in the District and Maryland will be substantial. Congested roadways in the District will be relieved, thereby creating better operating conditions in the downtown area. 3. Future Impact a. The future of Metrorail depends upon the concept of feeder service to the stations. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Authority to implement this concept with the first phases of rail operation and orient passengers to this mode of travel. PAGENO="0167" 849 -82- b. Development of the concept of a bus-rail network will lessen the impact on the passengers when rail operation is expanded further into the suburbs. C. Ridership 1. The number of passengers transferring between Metrobus and Metrorail for the peak period has been determined using passenger counts taken during the fall of 1975 and for midday and weekend periods based on the May, 1975 survey. 2. The projections are based on the staff's knowledge of the operating characteristics of each individual line. 3. The ridership data reflect current conditions and do not reflect any projected growth due to the attraction of Metrorail service. k. A total of 19,361+ passengers from the Rosslyn Station corridor will transfer to the rail system daily at either the Rosslyn or Federal Triangle Stations. Of this total, 3,306 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. 5. A total of 16,1+37 passengers from the Pentagon Station corridor will transfer to the rail system daily at either the Pentagon or Federal Triangle Stations. Of this total, 1+,629 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. 6. A total of 3,569 passengers from the National Airport Station corridor will transfer to the rail system daily at National Airport Station. Of this total, 826 will transfer during the peak a.m. one-hour period. D. Operating Characteristics 1. With the cutback of bus service at the rail stations, 5,711+ miles will be saved each weekday. 2. It is estimated that the proposed revision of bus service will result in a reduction of 52 buses in the bus fleet requirement for Virginia. PAGENO="0168" 850 Proposed Metrobus Changes 1. Rosslyn Station Corridor in the Rosslyn Station corridor, 11th and E Streets service operates during weekday, Saturday and Sunday periods; Pentagon and Southwest Mall services operate during peak commute hours only. a. Wilson Boulevard Line, Route I (1) 11th and E Streets and Pentagon Service it is proposed to terminate all of the present Route 1 11th and E Streets and Pentagon service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Passengers will transfer to the rail system for downtown Washington destinations or for the Pentagon. A new Route M-6 between Rosslyn and Union Station will be established to serve intermediate points in Washington, D.C. The present frequency of service will be maintained on the Virginia portion of the route. (2) Southwest Mall Service it is proposed to maintain the present service via the Roosevelt Bridge, into the District of Columbia; however, trips will be terminated at Federal Triangle. Passengers destined for Southwest Mall will transfer to rail service at either the Rosslyn or Federal Triangle Metro Stations. b. Washington Boulevard Line, Route 2 (1) Union Station Service The proposal will terminate all Route 2 Union Station service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Passengers will transfer to the rail system for fast convenient service to downtown locations or to new Metrobus Route M-6 for intermediate points. The present frequency of service within Virginia will be maintained. (2) Southwest Mall Service The present time schedule for Route 2 service via the Roosevelt Bridge will be maintained; however, service will terminate at the Federal Triangle Station in lieu of operating to the Southwest Mall. c. Lee Highway Line, Route 3 (1) 11th and E Streets and Penta9on Service The proposal will terminate all Route 3 11th and E Streets and Pentagon service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Downtown Washington and Pentagon riders will transfer to the rail system for a continuation of their journey. A PAGENO="0169" 851 new Route M-6 will be established to serve intermediate points between Rosslyn and Union Station. There will be no change in the frequency of Route 3 service within Virginia. (2) Southwest Mall Service Service via the Roosevelt Bridge will be maintained; however, all Southwest Mall trips will be terminated at Federal Triangle. d. Pershing Drive-Arlington Boulevard Line, Route ~ (1) 11th and E Streets Service It is proposed to turn back all Route 4 11th and E Streets service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Passengers will transfer to the rail system for downtown Washington destinations or to new Metrobus Route M-6 for intermediate points. There will be no change in the service frequency of Route 4 within Virginia. (2) Southwest Mall Service Service via the Roosevelt Bridge will be maintained; however, all Southwest Mall trips will be terminated at Federal Triangle. e. Chain Bridge Road Line, Route 5 (1) 11th and E Streets Service Via Key Bridge It is proposed to terminate all Route 5 George Washington Parkway-Key Bridge service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Passengers will transfer there for continua- tion of their trips into Washington via either the rail systemor new Route M-6. (2) 11th and E Streets Service Via Chain Bridge Since the ramps from the George Washington Parkway to Rosslyn are closed during the a.m. commute period, it will be necessary to maintain Route 5 Chain Bridge Road service as presently operated. An alternative during the p.m. rush period would be to operate certain outbound trips via Key Bridge in lieu of the present Chain Bridge operation. f. Alexandria-Arlington Line, Route 10 It is proposed to extend all Route 10 service from Wilson Boulevard and Courthouse Road to the Rosslyn Station. This will provide increased capacity along the most heavily used portion of Wilson Boulevard, between the Clarendon area and Rosslyn and, in addition, provide direct service from portions of Glebe Road to the Rosslyn Station. PAGENO="0170" 852 -85- g. Arlington Boulevard Line, Routes 20/24 (1) 11th and E Streets Service The proposal will terminate all Route 20 11th and E Streets service at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Downtown Washington riders will transfer to the rail system, and those destined for intermediate points to new Route M-6. There will be no change in the frequency of Route 20 service withIn Virginia. (2) Southwest Mall Service The present schedule for Route 20 and 2. service across the Roosevelt Bridge will be maintained; however, the route will be cut back at the Federal Triangle Station. h. Shlrlingtón-Rosslyn Line, Route 21S The proposal will terminate all service on Route 21S at the Rosslyn Metro Station. Passengers will transfer to the rail system for downtown Washington destinations or to new Route M-6 for intermediate points. i. National Airport-Rosslyn Line, Route 25A/B ~The proposal is to discontinue Routes 25A and B, as the Metrorail line duplicates this route in its entirety. 2. Pentagon Station Corridor a. Vienna Fringe Parking Lot Express, Route 5X The proposal is to terminate, rush hour Route 5X at the Pentagon. Passengers destined for the DiStrict of Columbia will transfer to either the Metrorail system or to Metrobus Routes 7, 14 and 16. b. South Fairlington-Parkfairfax Line, Route 6 (1) Federal Triangle Service Currently, Routes 6 and 8 operate with many rush hour branches. In order to simplify and clarify present route structure, this proposal combines the various routings Into four basic routes. The proposal is to operate Routes 6J and 6K to the Federal Triangle in lieu of operations to Farragut Square. During the rush hours, trips will operate express service bypassing the Pentagon and, during the base periods, buses will operate via the Pentagon Station. Weekend and evening Route 6V will also be routed via the Pentagon Station. PAGENO="0171" 853 -86- (2) Pentagon Service Two rush hour feeder routes will be established to the Pentagon: Route 6G from Fort Ward via South Fairlington and Route 6H from Alexandria via Janney's Lane and Parkfairfax. (3) Discontinued Routes The following routes in the South Fairlington-Park- fairfax area will be discontinued and replaced by the revised route structure: 6B, 6E, 6F, 6L, 6N, 65, 6T, 6U, 7S, BA, 8B, 8E and 8F. Passengers utilizing these routes today will be able to utilize revised Routes 6G, 6H, 6J and 6K. c. Lincolnia-Washington Line, Route 7 (1) Constitution Avenue Service The proposal is to continue all Route 7 Union Station and Southwest Mall via Constitution Avenue trips as presently operated. (2) Farragut Square Service It is proposed to terminate all of the present Route 7 Farragut Square trips at the Pentagon Metro Station, with the exception of Route 7G. Route 7G will be maintained into Washington, D.C.,however will terminate at Federal Triangle.

Background The proposals outlined in Section "E" (Proposed Metrobus Changes) consider route adjustments to meet only current operating conditions. in Virginia, new services are necessary to meet the trend of Increasing ridership and to link high density areas not currently served by the Metrobus system with the rapid rail system. This section considers areas where bus routes should be added or adjusted to meet these new demands. 2. Establish Rush Hour Route 17K it Is proposed to establish a new rush hour Route 17K from Middleridge to the Pentagon also serving the communities of Country Club View, Oak Walk and Kings Park West. This route would operate as follows: From Middleridge via Paynes Church Road, Ox Road, Portsmouth Road, Sideburn Road, Commonwealth Boulevard, Guinea Road, Braddock Road, interstate 1495, Shirley Highway Busway to the Pentagon Metro Station. initially, three a.m. and three p.m. commute period trips would be operated. This proposal would require three additional vehicles, and would operate 33,264 miles annually. 3. increase Midday Frequency on Route 20 and Establish New Route 2ON it is proposed to increase the midday frequency of service on Route 20 from 60 minutes to 30 minutes by establishing Route 20N from the Northern Virginia Community College, as follows: From Northern Virginia Community College via Lake Drive, Wakefield Chapel Road, Little River Turnpike, King Arthur Drive, Holly Lane, Gallows Road and Arlington Boulevard to the Rosslyn Metro Station. in addition, rush hour Route 20X would be extended from Fairfax Hospital to NVCC and redesignated 20N. This proposal would not require any additional rush hour buses but would increase the base requirement by three buses. The proposal would result in an increase of 86,688 miles annually. 14. Establish Rush Hour Route 2CM it is proposed to establish rush hour service between Annandale and the Rosslyn Metro Station, as follows: PAGENO="0198" 880 -113- From Annandale, via Maple Place, Annandale Road and Arlington Boulevard to the Rosslyn Metro Station. This proposal would require two additional a.m. and p.m. buses and would operate 12,096 miles annually. 5. Extend Rush Hour Route 3M It is proposed to extend Route 3M service from McLean to McLean Hamlet, as follows: From the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Chain Bridge Road, via Old Dominion Drive, Dolley Madison Boulevard, Lewinsville Road and Falstaff Road to_ McLean Hamlet. This proposal would require two additional a.m. and p.m. buses and would operate 4,132 miles annually. This route would provide direct service from MCLean Hamlet to the Rosslyn Metro Station. 6. Establish Rush Hour Route 9D It is proposed to establish rush hour service between the Fort Belvoir area and the National Airport Metro Station, as follows: From bus terminal at Mount Vernon Road and Hudson Road, via Mt. Vernon Road, Virginia Highway 235, Richmond Highway (u.S. #1), Patrick Street, Franklin Street, Washington Street, George Washington Memorial Parkway, Smith Boulevard to the National Airport Metro Station. The proposal would require three additional a.m. and p.m. buses and would operate 23,9140 miles annually. PAGENO="0199" 881 November 18, 1975 Request (continued) Page 3 Question 8. Submit supporting documentation and analysis for the 15 percent con- tingency estimate. In reviewing the cost estimates consideration has been given to establ ishing a contingency to cover cost of such imponderables and unforeseeable delays as those identified by GAO. The purpose of the contingency is to cover possible cost increases but not to cover potential cost increase. For example, alignment revisions will be subject to rigorous application of the WIIATA add-on policy. Summary sheets detailing the contingency allowance are attached. PAGENO="0200" 882 WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY METRORAIL CAPITAL COST ESTFMATE The Metro capital cost November 1975 forecast is $L~,65O.7 million. At the strong suggestion of the General Accounting Office, the Authority has been following the practice of quarterly adjustments of the capital cost estimate since May l97~. The current estimate provides for all identifiable cost increases and decreases which can be quantified, includ- ing potential cost growth such as current designer estimates, contract mod- ifications, and delays associated with strikes, litigation and floods, and the Shady Grove adjustment. It also includes the capitalization of pre- operations and Phase I operations. A contingency of fifteen percent beyond the forecasted estimate is included to cover cost of imponderables and unforeseeable delays which cannot be quantified but which can reasonably be expected to occur. Use of a contingency was also suggested by the General Accounting Office in its review of WNATA construction costs. The contingency would cover such items as the following: Route alignment revision, including that dictated by Federal law (1-66, Greenbelt and Branch routes) Capitalization of spare parts, test equipment, motor vehicles and software. Further delays resulting from strikes, litigation, etc. New environmental requirements New safety requirements (Railroad Safety Board and Fire/Police communications) Also, Urban Mass Transit Administration requires that a contingency be included in grant applications. Fifteen percent was the approved con- tingency in the UMTA grant growing out of the transfer of interstate highway funds resulting from highway projects deleted by the District of Columbia. Fifteen percent of the unexpended forecast system cost is $~67.O million and appears reasonable and adequate. In the light of an assumption to finance completion of the system through the transfer of interstate highway funds, it is assumed that any necessary financing of contingency items will be covered by an increasing level of available interstate highway funds which continue to escalate to the point of grant approval. Strong Board and staff control would continue efforts to keep the ceiling on the total Metro cost to $~,65O.7 million, or as close to that amount as possible.

Provide a description of the FY `75 -all coratr~ction program goals and your progress against these. Fiscal Year 1975 planned to cortinue the accelerated pace of construction for the Rapid Rail Transit System `~oile design and rights- of-way acquisition obligations decli~m. Phase I operations was planned to commence during this period. 411 of Phase II would be under con- struction and approaching completion. All structural, finish and stage contracts would be underway for Phase ill, as well as all structural, most finish and stage contracts for Ihase IV. t~ost Phase V structural contracts would have commenced and most design contracts for Phase VI. The 1975 program would involve design contracts covering approximately eight project units while the construction program would involve advertising 13 construction'contracte, six finish contracts and five stage contracts for a total of 117 prime contracts under construction concurrently. Through Fiscal Year 1975, there are to stations completed, 39 stations and over 45 miles of the syatam under construction. Construc- tion is underway for 19.3 miles from north of Silver Spring to Rockville Pike and the Beltway (1-495) on the Glenmont/Roc~ville Routes; for 19.9 miles from south of National Airport to the New Carrollton service yard on the Huntington/New Carrollton Routes; for 2.2 miles from Gallery Place Station to Waterfront Station en the Green~elt/Branch Routes; for 2.9 miles from Rosslyn to west of Glthe Road Station on the Vienna Route; and for 1.1 miles between the Pentagon and East Potomac Park on the L'Enfant Plaza/Pentagon Route across the Potomac River.

PAGENO="0207" 889 November 18, 1975 Request (continued) Page 7 Question 12. Provide detailed support for the $57 million increase necessary to reach the $4.65 billion total cost. A breakout of the $57 million increase is incorporated under Table 1 of the supporting documentation submitted for Question 8. PAGENO="0208" 890 November 18, 1975 Request (continued) Page 8 Question 13. Submit supporting documentation for the 37 percent fuel price inflation rate. The estimate of diesel fuel costs for the FY 1977 Hetrobus Operations Budget was based upon a unit price of 45 cents per gallon. The price per gallon used in estimating the cost of fuel in the FY 1976 Budget was 32.7 cents per gallon. The 1977 estimate represents an increase of 12.3 cents or 37.6 percent over the 1976 estimate for fuel. The factors considered in arriving at the 45 cents per gallon estimate are as follows: 1. Since acquisition of the bus companies in early 1973 to the date of estimate, the price of diesel oil from prin- cipal suppliers had increased from 11.85 cents per gallon to 31.95 cents per gallon, an increase of 170 percent. 2. At the time of making the estimate, it appeared certain that price control on petroleum products would be lifted before FY 1977, thus opening the door to increased prices. 3. Indications had been made by foreign oil resources that increases in oil were being planned. 4. Normal inflationary factors dictated increased fuel costs. 5. Inquiries into the petroleum industry gave indications that a price of 45 cents per gallon ;;as not unrealistic. Since date of estimate, price of diesel oil had increased to over 34 cents or 6 percent per gallon. Accordingly, it was the considered judgment of the Authority that an amount of 45 cents per gallon for fuel was justifiable for estimating purposes. PAGENO="0209" 891 November 18, 1975 Request (continued) Page 9 Question 1~4. Submit documentation of your consultants wi:h D~3, DOT and UMTA concerning your selection of 15 percent as a cofltingency factor. The May 8, 1975 GAO report to Senator Byrzf, identified numerous imponderables and unforeseeable delays. Discussions with UMTA revealed that UMTA required a contingency of an unspecified snount. Fifteen per- cent is the maximum contingency acceptable to U~TA ithout special justi- fication. UMTA reviewed the possible use of a 20 percent contingency, as suggested by the District of Columbia, and conchded that 15 percent was adequate. Attached is a copy of UMTA's Phase A Grant with the 15 percent contingency approved. Subsequently, this was discussed with DOT with no objections or revisions. 62-418 0 -76 - Pt.2 - 14 PAGENO="0210" 892 f~ I A: DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION URBAN MASS TRANSPORTA iiO~ ADMI\~STRATiON WASH!NGTON. 00.

Extensive discussions have been held with key UMTA staff relative to capitalization of rail start-up costs. These start-up costs involve pre-operation testing and training. The basis for the estimates were provided, indicating the length of training for rail employees and the extensive nature of the test program to assure safe and reliable operations (similar to data provided the Committee in this set of questions). UMTA has stated that they will make a decision within the next several weeks. If the decision is favorable, funding for capitaliza- tion will be on an 80 percent Federal/20 percent local basis, using funds from the highway transfer program. If the decision of UNTA is not favorable, funding for capitalization will continue to be from the Federal grant on a two-thirds Federal, one-third local basis. Thus, the UMTA decision on capitalization will determine whether one-third local funding or 20 percent local funding will be applied. Adequate funding under the two-thirds/one- third grant program are avai1a~le for capitalization of start-up costs.

Your personal role, and thmt of Mayor Washington, was essential in the local decision to use these highway funds for transit. The opportunity now exists for all governments within the Washington metropolitan area, through the Interstate transfer process, to provide for sustained Metrorail construction. Tho use of these Interstate transfer funds will bring the Urban Mass Transportation Administration more closely in touch with the project, and I look forward to working closely with the WMATA Board and staff to ensure continued progress on the Netrorail System. The WMATA staff has requested guidance on a number issues that involve IJMTA because of the use of Interstate transfer funds. I am writing to discuss our position on each of these points. 1. Contract reviews for Part A grant. We have arranged to fleet on February 2, 1976 with the WNATA offices of Engineering and Program Control to complete our review of all contracts included in the scope of the approved grant. In this meeting we will want to discuss further the opportunities for cost reduction in underground construction for Metrorail segments contemplated for future Interstate transfer grants. A number of these opportunities have been identified by the Department's Transportation System Center as it mssisted in our review of the Part A contracts. PAGENO="0216" 898 -2-- 2. Eligibility of WHATA's 1976 General Engineering and General Design Consultant Contracts for funding.

We are prepared to review an application f or a project amendment to cover these costs. Further, we would be prepared to extend "no prejudice" authority to WMATA to contract for the General Engineering Consultant work, subject to our later review of such an amendment. As to design work, we cannot approve funds for specific segment design until priorities have been established for operable segments to be constructed during the next several years. In this regard, we stand ready to meet with the staffs of TPB and WHATA to discuss definition and timing of operable segments for inclusion in the next (Part B) and subsequent Interstate substitute grants for Netrorail construction. 3. Capitalization of startup costs. We have reviewed materials submitted in support of a request that Interstate transfer funds be approved to meet training and acceptance testing costs associated with the startup of each new phase orsegment to become operational. Also requested is approval of these funds to capitalize the cost of operating Netrorail Phase I f or up to nine months. UNTA has provided assistance in funding the start-up costs of other systems, but in eac5h case such assistance has been limited to the costs of training and acceptance testing. Based upon our review of the submitted materials, we are prepared to assist in funding similar one-time training and acceptance testing costs f or Metrorail. However, we cannot approve the use of UMIA-administered capital funds for normal initial operating costs of Phase I or other system segments. We have received a description of the required acceptance testing activities, but no cost estimates for these activities were provided. We will be happy to review these estimates when they become available. I hope this clarifies our position on these matters. We look forward to working with you as we proceed with Metrorail construction. Si~,~rely, ~7) 1~Li~:. ~ Robert E.

PAGENO="0218" 900 ERNST & ERNST 1225 CONNCCTICUT AVE.N.W. WASHiNGTON, D.C. 20036 .January 13, 1972 Mr. Delner ISOn, Secretary-Treasurer Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority 950 South L'Enfant Plaza, S.W. Washington, D. C. 20024 Dear Mr. Ison: During the course of our examination of the financial statements of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and our related review of the accounting procedures and internal controls, several items came to our attention which we feel are worthy of your consideration. We realize that a nunber of these problems have resulted from the rapid ex- pansion of the Authority over the past few years. We also recognize the fact that you have already started strengthening some of these controls, but we feel that they deserve mentioning at this time. INVEST~NTS The Authority has proposed that beginning in the fiscal year 1972 that an investment register be maintained on an automated data processing system. If this register is maintained on an up-to-date basis, it could serve as a subsidiary investments ledger to the General Ledger by the ac- counting department. This would save many hours of manual posting by the accounting personnel. It is the current practice of the accounting office to accrue all interest on bonds manually. It is also the current practice of not ac- counting for bond premi~ and discount. We recormend that bond premiun and discount be accrued and/or amortized as a normal accounting function and that such accounting, including the accrual of interest, could be planned for and incorporated in the prograrming of the new data processing system. PAGENO="0219" 901 -2- INTERNAL AUDIT DEPAR~NT We believe that the internal audit department is doing a good job in their reviews. To strengthen the effect of their reports, we suggest that procedures be established which will permit changes to the recoinnended reports only to remove errors in facts. Corranents concerning recommendations discussed with interested parties are usually covered in a final section of the report which sets forth the results of the discussions, including arguments for or against such recorranendations and/or planned steps to implement the recommendations. We believe that, other than errors in facts, all reccmmendations should be reported and replied to. - COST SYSTEM During our review of the Authority's cost accounting system, we noted that all of the cost reports are issued on a monthly basis. Although we realize that the cost records are useful for historical purposes, we question the need for having all of the reports issued on a monthly basis. We feel that the reports needed for monthly reconciliations should be printed on a monthly basis; the back-up reports should be retained on tape for access purposes. GENERAL The following items came to our attention during our examination and are noted here for your consideration. 1. Vendors' invoices are not marked paid when they are paid. We recommend that all invoices be marked in some specific manner in order to avoid the duplicate payment of invoices. 2. During the course of our examination we obtained directly from the bank names of the persons who were authorized to sign checks for the Authority. Although eight people can sign checks, the American Security and Trust bank confirmed only three of them to us. We suggest a review be made to be certain the bank recognizes all authorized signatures. 3. We noticed during our tests of the Authority's records that if a pay- roll check was voided and a new check was issued in its place that no record was made of the cancellation or the reissuance of the check. This practice was brought to the attention of your personnel and subsequently corrected. We have enjoyed working with your personnel during our engage- ment, and wish to thank them for their cooperation. We will be glad to discuss any of the following comments further at your convenience. Very truly yours, #~a~/Vp ~ PAGENO="0220" 902 DDATT ~ ~ /z~y ~ 2 Soverber 13, 1972 hr. Jackson Graham General Wanager Washington Xetropols.tan Area Transit Authority Washington, D. C. Dear hr. Graham: Our examination of the financial statements of the Washington Xe~ro- politan Area Transit Authority for the year ended June 30, 1972 included a review of the system of internal control and accounting procedures of the Authority. During our review, certain items care to our attencion which we feel merit consideration in the interest of strengthening controls, improving procedures, and increasing operating e~ficiency. Our torments are derived from our normal auditing procedures which are based on tests of the accounting records, and n~on in-depth studies of the areas covered. (1) Since the volume of security transactions has and will continue to increase substantially, the Authority s,hould proceed,with the implemantation~ soon as practicable he proposed automation of its investments register. In this regard, we suggest that the integration of the requirements of the accounting department with ~eese of the Treasurer's office be pursued to eliminate duplicate record-keeping. This, of course, will require careful planning and joint efforts en the part of the two departments with the system designer. (2) The AuthoritY i& required by the Transit Bond Resolution to value PAGENO="0221" 903 the investments acquired from bond proceeds at cost or principal amount, whichever is less. As this valuation process is not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we suggest that theAurhority maintain its current valuation basis for invest- ments, namely.cost, for financial reporting purposes and report the lower of cost or principal basis in any special reports required. We understand that this is the s'~me conclusion reached by the Accounting Department and that plans are to report in this manner. Since the requirement has been set forth in the Transit Bond Resolution of ~he Board of pirectors of the Authority, we suggest that clarification of this interpretation be obtained from the Board. INTERNAL AUDIT During the course of our examination, we reviewed the reports issued by the Authority's internal audit department as well as reports issued by various government agencies. The overall scope of the Authority's internal audit. ~function is good and produces several benefits including: (1) A strengthening of the Authority's control over assets and accounting transactions. (2) Increased assurance to management that established policies are being followed and that procedures and controls are subject to periodic review. (3) An indicated reduction in the audit time required of the independent public accountants to complete the annual audit of the Authority's financial statements. (4) The establishment of an excellent training ground for future management positions. As automation of the Authority's records continues to increase, the importance of internal review of computer generated d~ca will intensify. This PAGENO="0222" 904 will be particularly true when the Authority acēuires in-house computer capability. To perform the internal audit function of testing the contents of computer files, considerable design and programring rime will be reēuired to develop the programs necessary to accomplish these objectives. Certain systems designed for this purpose have are~dy been developed such as the Ernst & Ernst Auditronic 16 System which is utilised by our own auditors in their test work. We suggest that an evaluation of the various systems available be made to minimize the cost and effort reēuired to develop your own proprietary systems. Internal Audit reports, by their very nature, are usually subject to a reply on the part of the department being teviawed. Preēuently, such replies are in the nature of actions taken or p~oposad to be taken on the recorrmendations contained in the reports. Since management is not only interested in what is wrong but what steps are being taken to follow the recormendstions, we recommend that provision be made in future internal audit reports to comment on the discussions with the effected department head and his plans for implementing the recommendations. It is our understanding that such a program is presently being planned by Internal Audit. During our examination of the Authority' & financial statements for.the year ended June 33, 1973, we will follow up with Internal Audit on this procedure. CONTRACT XODIFICATIONS We reviewed the modification procedures as set Jorth in the Standard Procedures for Processing Construction Contract ~odifications and Claims ?~anual, discussed these procedures with representatives of the various depart- ments involved, and reviewed a specific contract file including 26 contract ~odificationa to determine whether existing procedures were being followed. PAGENO="0223" 905 Our review disclosed no apparent weaknesses in the contract modifications procedures and we found adequate documentation to support the modification, including fully documented negotiarions. Our comments are based on conditions noted during our audit and are not intended to be all inclusive. We appreciate the opportunity to present these comments and recommendations for your consideration and we are prepared to discuss them further at your convenience. Very truly yours, PAGENO="0224" 906 ~ 7'?' ERNST & ERNST 225 CON N ECT!CL)T Al EN. 21. WASHINGTON, DC. 20036 May 15, 1975 Jackson Graham, General Manager Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Aut'nority 600 5th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. Dear General Graham: Our examination of the financial statements of Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority for the year ended June 30, 1974, included a review of the aye tern of internal controls and accounting procedures in order to determine the degree of reliance that could be placed thereon in establishing the extant of our audit tests. This review, although not an in-de?th study, did disclose certain procedures which we believe nerit your consideration. Should the following recommendations be adopted, existing procedures and internal controls should be strengthened. INTERNAL AUDITING Traditionally, the internal audit function at the Authority has concentrated its efforts in reviewing and auditing outside contractors as their work pertains to the construction activity. Very little effort has, in the past, been expended in auditing the financial and accounting transactions appearing in the financial statements of the Authority. As a rosult, the testing of such transactions has been the primary responsibility of the independent accountants. During a discussion with the Director of Audit we learned that pians are underway to increase the internal audit staff to approximately 22 people and to begin a comprehensive program of auditing financial and accounting transactions. We compliment the Authority on this undertaking and we believe such a step will prove very beneficial to the Authority by improving the quality of the regular financial statements, strengthening internal controls, and could assist in reducing the time required to com?lete the annual audit. To .accomplash the maximum benefits which could be derived by such a move, however, we recommend that the internal audit function report directly to the General Manager of the Authority rather than to the Cnnptroller. We understand that a recent study performed by an outside contractor also made this recommendation and we concur. T'ne role of the Comptroller of the Authority includes the establishment of proper internal controls to safeguard the assets PAGENO="0225" 907 -2- of the Authority. One of the functions of the Internal Audit Staff is to review these controls and make recommendations for improvement or to report deviations from established procedures. It is very difficult, from an organizational viewpoint, to provide indtpendent and unbiased evaluations and suggestions covering areas over which the officer to whom the auditor reports has responsibility. We understand that the staff of the Authority does not feel that such a change is necessary; however, we feel obligated to rscoamend it in order to place the internal audit function in a position of inde?endence, not only in fact but in appearance. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND OTHER ACCOUNTING HATTERS Currently, many decisions are made by the Authority having accounting and financial reporting ramifications without consideration as to the possible effects of what is referred to as generally accepted accounting principles. Concepts such as depreciation, prerail operating costs, capitalized interest costs and claims for injuries and damages have been viewed more from budgetary implications than accounting implications. The Authority's accounting staff has frequently recommended the accounting treatment resulting from a particular decision after the budgetary procedures have been completed; however, we feel that the accounting considerations should be evaluated early in the decision making process. Aside from the interest of the Authority's line of credit banks and the General Accounting Office as to the use of generally accepted accounting principles, we note that the regulations for Section5 funding of the Urban Hess Transportation Act of 1964, as amended, include a requirement f or a certification that the actual and projected results of operations "are reported in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis." Additionally, the regulations require that 1J111A also approiie any accounting changes made by the Authority. The recently created Financial Accounting Standards Board end its predecessor, the Accounting Principles Board, have issued or have in draft stage several pronouncements which affect the Authority including: Audits of State and Local Government Units Accounting for Research and Development Costs Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Companies Accounting for Contingencies Statement of Position on Contingencies Arising from Energy Shortage We recommend that an overview of the nature of generally accepted accounting principles be made by the officers of the Authority arid the effects on the Authority's financial accounting and reporting of recently issued or pending promulgations be studied. We are available to meet with you end to provide you with any information you may require or to answer any questions you have. 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt. 2 - 15 PAGENO="0226" 908- -3- O~ir discussions with UIICA officials on the requirenants for the aforemsotioned Section 5 funding, for which the Authoqity has recently apalied, indioste the Authority will be required to file a statement of its alan of ailcoation of expenses between funds. Currently, such allocation is basad wean de?artmeotal estimates of tine and costs; however, the estimates are to a large degrae judgusatal. We recommend that the Authority, in order to more properly measure actual costs and to provide documentation for such allocations, perform time studies over a representative period of tine using sound allocation principles and emalyze the allocation of other costs such as building maintenance and office supeiies. As an alternative, a tine reporting system could be designed to capzmme such costs but such a method is both tine consuming and subject to cuss:ionable accuracy. Y-i~ CLISIlIC A~D ?RE?~RATION FOR AUDIT - Our examination of the financial statement of the Authority for the year ended June 30, 1973, was not completed until February 1974. Tnis was due prizaril~ to the problems arising as a result of the takeover of the four bus companies, changing over their systems to conform to that of the Authority, a significant number of year-end adjustments, and other matters requiring time of the accounting staff. Our examination for the year ended June 30, 1974, was not completed until January 1975. Tale was due primarily to the involvement of the accounting personmal in the implementation of the new "FARE" system, and as a result, expected completion dates for the audit were delayed. In addition, in both years muerous adjustments (in excess of 100 each year) were required to the accounts. This raises serious question as to the accuracy amd usefulness of the ontnlv financial statements. We believe that much could be gained by proper planning and schaluling of the year-end audit~. To accomplish this we recommend: - Analysis of the major accounts be performed on a regular basis (at least quarterly) and adjustments to-the accounts be made as required. - Schedule the year-end work by account by individual responsible sad establish firm due dates u-hen they are to be done. Consul: on a regular basis throughout the year with. the independent accountants and internal audit on matters of - - questionable or unusual transactions, accounting changes, application of generally accepted accounting principles as they may apply to the Authority, and reporting re~juire=ents to establish proper treatment during the year - rather than waiting until year-end which may require a number of adjustments and reworking certain schedules. * -~ - Baked on established completion dates by the internal staff, establish in conjunction with the independem~ accountants a scheduled completion date for the audit. PAGENO="0227" 909 -4- If such planning is partormed and deadlines established and adhered to, toe year-end audit should be completed in a reasonable time and any adjustments required will be reflected in the monthly financial statements making those statements more meaningful. In discussing this recommendation with the accounting department we were informed that, due to the many activities, systems changes, budgetary requirements, etc. that require the time o~f the accounting staff, year-end closing problems have cot been given high priority becausa no formal date has been set for statements other than early in Marchof the following year. Howe~?er, the accounting department recognized the advantages to completing the audit sooner and have set a date of completion of their work by October 1, 1975 so as to be ready for the outside auditors at that time. We are planning to work closely with a representative of the Authority staff, assisting in the planning process, establishing raaiistic schedule completion dates, and discussing accounting and reporting cuestions early. INTERFUND AccOUNII2;G AdD OTHER During our examination we reviewed the interfumd transfers of monies and the accounting and balancing procedures for the interfund accounts. As a result of our procedures we offer the following recommendations: Amounts due to the Construction Fund from the detrobus Operating Fund representing principally the salaries of personnel allocated to Metrobus and the purchases of office supplies should be repaid on a timely basis. Of the amount due at June 30, 1974 seas items ware ovar 90 days old. While these amaunts have been subsequently repaid, it is our understanding that fiscal 1975 charges are accumulating. Procedures for transferring funds should include a documented review and approval of the source and intended use of the funds to insure that all such transfers are in accordance with the function of the funds. We noted instances where amounts had been transferred from or deposited in a particular fund, which were subsequently changed. Reconciliations of amounts due to and from the various funds sheuld be made monthly. Considerable effort was expended at year end to reconcile the interfund accounts as a result of a complete year's activity in the accounts not having been previously reconciled. In connection with the accounting for investments, we noted that a new system was being utilized aubaequent to fiscal 1974. The system, as it has been described to us, would represent an improvement in efficiencies and record keeping because information such as accrued interest and market value data would be more accessible. PAGENO="0228" 910 -0- RESLEVE ~OR I~JURIES A~i) DAMAGES The Authority's policy during 1974 was to prbvide a reserve for injuries and damages based upon 50 of gross revenue. Fe understand that beginning in fiscal 1975, this reserve is being provided at of ex~enses. Actual payments made are netted against the reserve provision and. the resultant amount at any point in time represents the eatinated liability for: (1) Claims pending (2) Claims incurred but not reported (3) Expanses of settling claims currently pending (4) Enpaid insurance expense (for insurance above the $100,000 sslf-insurance retention) Ehale using a fixed percentage is a reasonable interim estimating procedure, the results of this estimate should be regularly com~arod with actual. The Claims Department maintains listings of pending cases and a realistic ex?ected settlement value for each case. From historical date using basic actuarial principles, estimates of the liability for claims incurred but not reported and expenses of unsettled claims can be regularly redo. Fe recoccaend that on at least s quarterly basis, the above calculation of the reserve liability be made. If major variances exist between this calculation and the liability derived using the fixed percentage, then arpromriate adjustments should be made. In discussions with the Comptroller on this recommendation, we are informed that this is the procedure currently employed in 1975. CHARTER ACCOEMTS RECEIVABLE During our examination, we reviewed the charter accounting systom and selected several accounts for confirmation directly with the debtor of the amount due at May 31, 1974. The responses to our confirmation procedures produced an extremely high exception rate. All confirmations indicating an exception were given to Authority personnel. Alternatively, wa reviowed all subsequent collection activity to December 31, 1974. Of the $339,137 of balances selected for confirmation, $137,912 was still outstanding 7 months later. Additionally, from the dates of acquisition of the local bus companies to the end of but field work, we noted that there had been no accounts charged off ss uccollectible despite extended periods of delinquency; however, the accounts receivable supervisor regularly mskes account reductions for rate adjustments attributable to quality of service, number of buses provided etc. We recommend that a thorough analysis oi the charter accounting functions be performed and that all accounts on which collections appear doubtful be charged off. Charged off balances should be controlled separately and the appropriate collection effort maintained. Additionally, we recommend: All adjustments on charter receivables made in the chatter accounting section should be approved by the Director of Accounting PAGENO="0229" 911 -6- A separate report should be made of the amounts of adjustments, as currently this information is not available A regular monthly review should be made of all delinquent accounts. This review should encompass views of the Narketing and Accounting Departments. Decisions should be made as to whether accounts should be charged-off and action must be taken to insure service does not continue for uncollectible accounts * The Board of Directors should be informed monthly as to the amount of receivables more than 90 days past due * Consideration should be given to instituting a service charge for late payment of charter invoices We understand that such procedures are being implemented at this time and that a request for a tredit manager has been made to improve the follow-up collection problems. We coend the Authority for this action and we hope a credit manager cam be appointed soon. CASH During our examination we reviewed and tested cash transactions and bank reconciliations. Wnile no errors of a significant nature were noted, minor exceptions were found indicating a degree of carelessness in cash accounting. Discussions with representatives of the Controllers and Secretary- Treasurers' Offices indicated that these minor exceptions, since being brought to their attention, have been corrected. We complement the Authority on these improvements. Our commonts and recommendations are submitted as constructive suggestions to assist you on strengthening controls and procedures, and are not intended to reflect on the ability or integrity of any employee. We appreciate the opportunity to present.these comments and recommendations for your consideration and are prepared to discuss them further at your convenience.

The reduction in the subsidy requirements in out years reflect the reductions in the FY 1977 Budget estimates by the Board Budget Review Committee of the Authority contained in the schedules attached. These reductions include service adjustments and adjustments resulting from budget review which when projected during the years 1978 - 1980 result in lower subsidy requirements. Accordingly, these amounts are based on the Authority's best estimates of costs and revenues for this period and assumptions of availability of Federal assistance and cap- italization of certain rail operating costs. The increases suggested by committee staff are, for the most part, speculative in nature. They may or may not occur and if they do could be much more than suggested or much less than suggested. The Authority does not agree with these speculations. The estimates made are based on certain operating criteria with regard to costs and revenues and reflect the Authority's best estimates of their impact.

Please submit a description of work rules determining the movement of drivers and maintenance employees between bus and rail. Suppl ementary Agreement By and between The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and Local Division 689, Amalgamated Transit Union. Section 103 (a) System seniority shall be applicable in two basic seniority Districts: Operating and Non-Operating. Each of these Districts shall include both bus and rail systems. - (b) In the Operating District, permanent vacancies and new jobs shall be available system-wide, and shall be awarded to the senior bidder who qualifies or is able to qualify within a reasonable period. Cc) Permanent vacancies in the Non-Operating District shall be advertised first internally. For this purpose, internally requires posting of a job in the appropriate one of the four separate internal systems 1. Bus Equipment-Bladensburg, and Bus Garages 2. Rail equipmmnt-Brentwood and Satellite Shops 3. Way and Structures (includes present Building Maintenance) L~. Systems Department If the new job or permanent vacancy is not filled as a result of the internal posting for pick, the job shall be available on a system-wide basis. In each case the job will be awarded to the senior qualified employee in the area in which the posting occurs. There shall be an annual system pick in the garages associated with the bus equipment section. There shall also be an annual system pick in the satellite rail equipment stations. These annual system picks shall be in addition to the posting of new jobs and permanent vacancies for bid. PAGENO="0237" 919 Section 20t1 Initial Train Operator vacancies will be filled by the senior bargaining unit employees (based on Operating Department seniority) who meet the published qualifications of the job, and who have performed their duties in a satisfactory manner as reflected in their on-the-job work records. All employees accepted for a Train Operator position will be expected to spend at least one year in that position. If an individual desires to bid out of the Train Operator position in less than the one-year period such bidding out will only be to a current bona fide vacancy and the individual will be required to wait two years before applying for lateral movement to any other position. This rule may be applied more than once if similar circumstances occur. The number of months spent in the Train Operator position by an employee who bids out in less than one year will be offset against the two-year waiting period. Except as provided above for employees accepted for a Train Operator position, an employee having moved laterally (to a job at the same or a lower rate of pay) from bus to rail and back to bus, or from rail to bus and back to rail, will thereafter be prohibited from further lateral (to a job at the same or a lower rate of pay) transfer until he has been on the then-current job for one year. PAGENO="0238" 920 November 2~i, 1975 Request General Questions Questton 6. Detail for the records the negotiating process with jurisdictions through which subsidy levels are set. There ~s no direct or specific negotiating process that the Transit Authority engages in with the local jurisdictions for which specifft subsidy levels are established. There have been indications made by the Northern Virginia jurisdictions that operating revenues should fund approximately two-thirds of lietrobus operating costs, but no specific levels established. The Authority prepares its estimates of operating revenues and costs for a budget year and submits them to the Board of Directors. The budget estimates are referred then to the Budget Review Comittee of the Board which, ~iith the assistance of technical and financial staff members of the local jurisdictions, re- views by office and line item the entire budget. It is during this process that an acceptable level of subsidy is established for sub- mission to the Board of Directors for approval. When the budget estimates are approved by the Board, appropriate allocation of the subsidy is made to the jurisdictions for which they become financially responsible to provide funding.

REPORT BY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Alexander reported that the Board had received a letter from the General Manager requesting replacement and that it was with regret that the Board accepted his request, effective January 31 , 1976. Mr. Alexander stated that the Board as a Committee of the Whole would undertake the selection of a new General Manager. REPORT BY GENERAL MANAGER: Mr. Graham reported that Metrobus Public Hearings Nos. 146, 147, and 148 had been held as scheduled and referred the Board to furnished hearing packets for December 9 Public Hearings Nos. 149 ~nd 50 on Sections 5 and 3-H having to do with UMTA funding. Mr. Graham deferred to Mr. Quenstedt who reported that the thrust of the Authority testimony December 2 before Congressman Harris with respect to fuel allocation regulations was that FEA regulations which provided for assurance of fuel supply did not require competitive bidding as to price. Mr. Quenstedt reported that FEA testimony had confirmed this and that while the FEA regulations were imposed during the fuel shortage period, reconsideration of the ruling was underway which would permit competition now that the fuel crisis Is over. Mr. Graham reported that the Chairman and staff was scheduled this date to appear before Congressman Natcher's Subcommittee on the Metrorail capital requirements and handicapped facilities, and Metrobus capital and operating subsidy requirements. Mr. Graham noted that on December 9 the Authority was to appear before the House D. C. Committee to discuss minority development, with the three Chairmen to appear December 10 before the same Committee to address certain requested areas of discussion. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Gaul who referred to his December 3 memorandum to the Board, noting that as of December 1, the shortfall in shipment of cars was fourteen, as compared to the last reported shortfall of fourteen. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Kennedy who referred to and summarized his December 14 memorandum to the Board covering the results of meetings between management and Local 689 of ATU relative to the October 29 work slowdown which had affected regular A. M. peak hour service. Mr. Kennedy reviewed the results of the meetings and the agreement between management and labor as to the division of responsibility in identification and repair of certain "defects" on buses to be dispatched in revenue service. With respect to the Authority's discipline code, Mr. Kennedy reported that discussions had been held, with areas of agreement and disagreement having been identified, and that it was believed that these matters could be mutually resolved within the next two weeks. -2- PAGENO="0244" 926 Mr. Graham called on Mr. Dodge who referred the Board to furnished copies of bid tabulations covering the November 26 receipt of bids for Contract 2W9231 , Bus Passenger Shelters, and Contract 1Z4200, Structural Modification to Brentwood Shop. Mr. Dodge reported that bid opening scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, on Section G-l, Benning Road Station, had been postponed at the request of UMTA until their comments could be furnished on the review of plans and WMATA's response received. Mr. Dodge noted that this would also apply to G-2 and G"3 contracts. Mr. Graham called on Mr. MacLean who referred the Board to furnished copies of the General Manager's December 3 memorandum to the Board with respect to problems in providing public safety commun!cations capability between local fire and police and the Metro system. Mr. MacLean reported that considerable attention has been devoted to the expressed desires of local police chiefs to have direct communi- cations with their personnel scheduled for duty in subsurface stations, using their respective equipment. The matter is further complicated by the fact that some of these departments use a duplex radio system as opposed to the simplex system used by other departments as well as the Authority. He stated that to provide direct radio communications from the respective police headquarters to their personnel on duty in sub- surface rail stations will probably require the installation of a repeater with antenna conflguration and associated equipment, and the cost figure for purchase and installation of such equipment cannot be accurately established pending. receipt of more detailed information from the respective departments. He reported that it is anticipated that a sizeable capital cost will be necessary which is neither programmed for or otherwise reflected in the Authority's program. Mr. MacLean reported that cost and budgetary considerations have resulted in suggested alternatives being studied or considered as feasible or possible options. He reported that costs for the system could range between $400,000 to $1,000,000, with the funding and responsibility of the system to be determined. He stated that an Executive Committee of .OG and WMATA staff was being set up to address the problems. REPORT BY NVTC, D.C. AND WSTC: Mr, Moore reported that he had been approached by several handicapped and senior citizens on the possibility of reserving the front seats of the Metro vehicles for handicapped and elderly patrons.

C. 20001 (202) 637-1234 MINUTES Lt6Oth Meeting of Board of Directors November 6, 1975 The meeting was called to order at 9:38 A. H. Present were: Staff Others PAGENO="0253" 935 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: With reference to the work stoppage by Metrobus operators the morning of October 29, Mr. Barnett referred to the sentence in the Minutes "No Board comments supported staff actions or criticized suspension of service." He stated that he had not made comments with respect to the discussion as in his opinion the discussion should not have taken place; that the Issue was between the bus operators and management and should have been handled by management; and that In his opinion management had handled the situation properly. He stated that the origin of the dispute was not entirely clear toPim but he was convinced that it was not a safety Issue, and that the entire matter was illegal and in violation of the contract. He stated that the bus operators had acted in contempt of the public Interest and the Board's cr1 tlcI.sm of management's handling of the matter can only encourage further "irresponsible" action on the part of the bus operators. He conclud~d by saying that management is sound and should have the support of the Board. Mr. Alexander stated that he was inclined to respond but would not; that he did not think anyone on the Board supported the work stoppage. Mr. Sickles stated that the Minutes should reflect what happens and not what does not happen; that in his opinion the sentence referred to by Mr. Barnett should be deleted from the Minutes. Mr. Alexander moved that the sentence be deleted whereupon Mr. White, stating that he associated himself with the comments of Mr. Barnett, seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously passed and the Minutes were approved with the sentence deleted. Ayes: 5 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tucker, Mr. White, Mr. Munsey, and Mr. Barnett. Mr. Tucker stated that If Mr. Barnett felt that his comments would have been out of order last week that for the same reason they were out of order today. REPORT BY CHAIRMAN: Mr. Alexander reported that the failure of the $25 million bond referendum in Arlington County did not In his opinion reflect opposition to Metro as much as it represented the mood of the voters with respect to long-term Indebtedness. REPORT BY GENERAL MANAGER: Mr. Graham also reported with respect to the bond referendum that had failed to pass the voters, referring the Board to a tabulation on the Arlington County Bond issues showing that while Metro had garnered 40 percent support, the six other losing Issues had only received 18 to 31 percent support. Mr. Graham reported that Public Hearing No. 44 had been held as scheduled November 5 on the Bicentennial Transportation Program. -2- PAGENO="0254" 936 Mr. Graham referred the Board to furnished copies of an October 29 letter to the Chairman from Congressman W. S. Stuckey and Romano L. Mazzoli, Subcommittee on Commerce, Housing and Transportation and Subcommittee on Fiscal Affairs, and to a November 3 letter to Mr. Quenstedt from Congressman Herbert E. Harris, Subcommittee on Bicentennial Affairs, covering the series of hearings on the funding needs of the Metrorail system which began November 5. Mr. Graham reported on the staff's appearance at the November 5 hearing, referring to furnished copies of his opening statement. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Lyon who referred the Board to furnished copies of bid tabulations covering the November 5 receipt of bids for Contract No. 1BOO66, Brookland Station Superstructure, Glenmont Route and Contract 2ZL~O9A for the procurement of ash receptacles. Mr. Graham called on Mr. son who referred the Board to furnished copies of the weekly revenue comparison since the new fare structure, stating that except for the work stoppage on October 29, the trend is continuing at approximately 2~ net revenue increase. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Gaul who referred the Board to furnished copies of his November 5 report and schedule showing the status of delivery of revenue cars, indicating the shortfall in shipment of cars as of November 3 being ten, as compared to last week's reported shortfall of eight. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Herman who reported that the Board had approved December 9 hearing date for Section 5 funds of the UMTA Act for operating assistance and requested thatthe December 9 hearing include Sections 3 and 3-H relative to WMATA's application to UMTA for financing the Metrobus Capital improvement Program for FY 1976. Upon motion by Mr. Alexander, seconded by Mr. White and unanimously passed, the application was approved for hearing on December 9. Ayes: 5 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tucker, Mr. White, Mr. Munsey, and Mr. Barnett. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Kennedy who reported that on Tuesday, November 4, the staff and Local 689 representatives had met as scheduled, anēl that another meeting would be held on Friday, November 7.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF CONT~K-FLOw BUS LANES ALONG 14TH AND 15TH STREET CORRIDORS: Mr. Russell referred the Board to furnished copies of the General Manager's November 4 memorandum to the Board for improved traffic circu- lation through the development of bus priority streets with a proposed concept for contra-flow bus lanes along the 14th and 15th Street ~orridors. He referred to furnished copies of the final report by consultants and reviewed the three alternatives which had been selected for detailed study--Alternatives 2, 4, and 6, with Alternative 6 being the recommended alternative for implementation. He reported that the staff of the 0. C. Department of Transportation is developing two alternative plans for bus priority treatment in addition to the alternatives studied in the WMATA environmental assessment of the corridors and that D. C. DOT is investigating the most feasible and cost effective plan since they are the implementing agency. Mr. Russell stated that while the staff feels that Alternative 6 is the most feasible for implementation by the Bicentennial that the staff be given authority to transmit all the materials developed by staff, along with the Consultants report, to D. C. DOT for their consideration and implementation. Discussion follwed wherein the D. C. members expressed their willing- ness to have the report and recommendation submitted to D. C. DOT, but felt that the WMATA Board should have a further opportunity for review of the project. Following further discussion, Mr. Washington moved that the materials be submitted to 0. C. DOT for expeditious review and recommendation and be brought back to the Board for further review and action. The motion was seconded by Mr. Alexander and unanimously passed. Ayes: 6 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Munsey, Mr. Washington, Mr. Barnett, and Mr. Sickles. AUTHORITY TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR METRO TPACKWORK TIE PROCUREMENT, TW-3, (2Z4080): Mr. Lyon referred the Board to furnished copies of Procurement Action No. 2, Contract No. 2ZLt08D and related attachments, requesting authority to award a contract to Koppers Company for procurement of timber ties. -`4- PAGENO="0256" 938 Ayes: 6 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tucker, Mr. White, Mr. Munsey, Mr. Washington, and Mr. Barnett.

W. ~ashngon D C 20001 Dear Mr. Graham: The District of Columbia Department of Transportation, Office of Budget and Management Systems, and the Corporation Counsel are of the opinion that the currently proposed contract between WMATA and PEPCo contains certain deficiencies which must be iemedied in order to assure that the contract and its performance and administration will be not only in the public interest but that the rights of all parties will be adequately secured. In our view these deficiencies fall into the following general categories: A. The negotiation of electricity rates and a clear definition of a Rail-Transit (R. T.) rate. B. Audit provisions and schedule of payment provisions. C. The contract provisions concerning performance by PEPCo should be tightened to precisely specify what delays by PEPCo will be excusable and to include clauses that PEPCo will use its best efforts to complete construction, supply sufficient energy capacity and furnish energy restoration on a priority basis. These provisions should be strengthened by the inclusion of a disputes clause. D. The term of the contract should not be for thirty years, but for a shorter period of time. Additionally, WMATA should be able to terminate the contract for convenience in a manner that would fully protect PEPCo1s rights. PAGENO="0260" 942 Mr. Jackson Graham Page Two We have prepared specific amendments to the proposed contract which we believe represent minimum changes that are necessary to adequately protect all interests. 1. We have drafted a provision that will require PEPCo to negotiate electricity rates with WMATA which rates should be agreed to and made part of a separate agreement between the parties. That agreement should also spell out procedures to be followed in the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement as to the matter of rates. The WMATA staff states that it was the intentionhi of the parties that the electricity rates would be negotiated and agreed upon, but the proposed contract does not so state; It provides that PEPCo will unilaterally prepare a rapid rail transit schedule. As a result, WMATA will have no substantive contribution to the developent of electricity charges (which may constitute one-third to one-half of the subway operating costs) other than to engag~e in protracted hearings before the Public Service Coromission. Further- more, the annual budgeting process of the Authority and each of the participating jurisdictions will have no insulation from the effects of recurring rate cases. The purpose of our amendment is thus merely to spell out in the contract the intentions of the parties. (See Attachment A) 2. There is uncertainty as to the exact de~nition of the contemplated R. T. rate and exactly what services would be included fri that rate, i. e., service to stations, chillers, etc. If, indeed, there will be more than one rate, this should be specified and each rate should be clearly defined. If the electricity rates are fully negotiated by the parties and made a separate agreement, this matter should be dealt with in that agreement. - 3. We recoin-mend that the proposed contra~ct should be modified to establish that construction contributions will be made on the basis of progress reports for work performed. This can be accomplished by adopting the DistrictTs standard contract PAGENO="0261" 943 Mr. Jackson Graham Page Three provision for payments for "Payments to Contractor. ` This amendment is a substitute for construction S-Curve payment provisions contained in the proposed contract. The proposed contract contemplates that construction payments for work in progress will be made on an "S-Curve" which is in substance a hypothetical completion formula for advance payments. Thus, if work is for any reason delayed or interrupted, partial payments nevertheless must be made on the basis of the formula set at the beginning of the project. We believe payments for work in progress should be based on progress reports for work performed. This is the normal procedure invariably used in govern- mental-type construction contracts. It ensures that Metro has actually received the work for which it pays. It will also minimize disputes between PEPCo and WMATA. (See Attachment B) 4. We recommend that the `retention of records" standard contract provision be utilized in the contract. The audit provisions of the proposed contract exclude any audit by WMATA of (i) subcontractsand change audits of less than $100, 000 and (ii) subcontracts issued by PEPCo pursuant to competitive bidding. In addition, WMATA'S rights to examine PEPCoTs books are extremely limited. As a result, WMATA will be unable to obtain an exact accounting of expenditures for construction representing $40 to $60 million. This lack of accountability could place the local governments in a difficult position in justifying the necessary capital appropriations. We therefore believe that broader and more effective audit provisions are required. (See Attachment B) 5. We recommend that the standard "Disputes" clause be utilized in the contract. The proposed agreement contains no provision for the resolution of disputes which may arise concerning the estimation of project costs and other matters dealt with PAGENO="0262" 944 Mr. Jackson Graharri Page Four in the contract. As a result. ~RvL~TA will have only two choices: either accept entirely PEPCoTs position on all matters concerning the contract; or engage in costly and protracted litigation during periods when construction may be halted. An all-disputes clause, which is customarily contained in contracts with governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, would enable work to proceed while disagreements are resolved. We note that the proposed contract is silent on the effect of the parties failing to reach an agreement on estimated construction costs. (See Attachment C) 6. The contract should require PEPCo to maintain separate books for all construction accounts with WMATA. Under the contract, most of the cost of construction (80 percent) will be paid by WMATA and the rest (20 percent) will be paid by PEPCo. PEPCo will redover its 20 percent investment through operatingr rates (R. T.) described above. It is therefore essential that PEPCo maintain separate books of account showing the exact amounts of payments (contributions) made by both WMATA and PEPCo and the treatment of those amounts in the determinatlon of proper rates. (See Attachment B) - 7. The contract should contain a standard form Termination for ConvenienceTt clause. Contracts with quasi-governmental agencies and governmental bodies usually contain a provision permitting termination by the agency, with appropriate compensation tothe contractor, when it is deemed by the agency to be in the public interest. The proposed contract contains no such provision. We believe greater flexibili~ is needed and that the standard termination for convenience clause should be added. (See Attachment C) 8~ The contract should contain a standard Termination~Delays? clause and should also contain a provision requiring PEPCo to PAGENO="0263" 945 Mr. Jackson Graham Page Five timely complete construction, to supply sufficient energy capacity and to furnish energy restoration on a priority basis. These two items are related. We fully understand that circumstances beyond PEPCo~s control may cause delays or interruptions in construction and may cause interruption of electricity once the system is in operation. At the same time, we believe that because of the public importance of the rail system, PEPCo must use its best efforts to complete complete construction in as timely a manner as possible, and to provide energy for the operation of the system on a high priority basis. The contract does not obligate PEPCo to do so. As worded, P.EPCo is excused from delays merely because itcannot obtain materials from its hlusual sources. Similarly, PEPCo is not liable for lack of capacity and energy for operating the system or for the restoration of electricity in the same order of priority as required for other vital services which affect public safety and welfare. A best efforts requirement is necessary. This is simply a matter of correcting contract language. (See Attachment D) 9. The contract should contain a provision making reestimations of construction costs subject to WMATA approval. This item is also simply a matter of contract drafting. Under the proposed contract, PEPCo is required to obtain Board approvals for original estimates of cost. But it is required to obtain approval of any changes in the estimates once work is started ~ if there is a change in design. A simpie language change to the contract would assure that all re- estimations are subject to prior Board approval. (See Attachment C). 10. The period of the contract should be for a period of ten years with notice of termination to be provided two years prior to the contract expiration date. PAGENO="0264" 946 Mr. Jackson Graham Page Six It is important to stress that the recon~mendations we have ntude in no way undermine the fundamental concepts and structure of the agreement you have reached with PEPCo. Instead, what we are proposing is that the contract language be clarified where necessary to reflect more closely the intentions of the parties and that several provisions customarily used to protect the parties be incorporated into the agreement. Therefore, you will note that many of the proposed amendments are taken directly from standard construction contracts used by the Federal and District Governments in their construction projects, and which I believe are included in most WMATA construction contracts as well. Enclosed are copies of the suggested language to accommodate these amendments except that we have not attempted to define the R.T. rate. Sincerely yours, N.

In such event the District may take over the work and prosecute the sanse to completion, by contract or otherwise, and may fake possession of and utilize in completing the work such materials, appliances, and plant as snag have been paid for by the District or may be on the site of the work and necessary thcrefor. Whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed i'iith the work is terminated, he and his sureties shall be liable for any liabiisty to the District result- ing from his refusal or failure to complete the work within the speetfied linac. If fixed and agreed liquidated damages are provided in the Contract and if the District so terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, the reoulIing liability wtll consist of such liquidated damages unlsl such rea- sonable time as may be required for final cornpletsots of the work together with any inc-eased costs occasioned * the District in completing the work.

Schneider, Jr. 1. The electrical rates could be the subject of a separate agreement. However, there are general provisions in this agreement which are applicable and should be retained, end therefore, we believe that this should be done by an amendment to the existing agreement. We generally agree with the recommendation of the District staff in that the Agreement should reflect the intent of the parties during negotiations. We would, however, suggest that the clause as proposed by the District staff be modified. (See Revised Attachment A.) 2. The definition of the "RT' rate is implicit within the contents of Article lEA of the proposed Electric Service Agreement. However, for clarification, we would propose that the following definition be added ~o the list of definitions in the proposed Agreement. Article I. N. H. "RT Rate" means a uniform rate for all electricity provided to the Authority at primary voltage (13 kv class or higher) on contiguous Authority right-of-way including but not limited to the points of delivery and metering as listed in Appendix D. 3. We agree that the proposed contractshould be modified to establish that construction contribution be made on the basis of progress reports for work performed. The District of Columbia's proposed attachment B utilized a normal payment to the contractor clause for a fixed price construction contract. In our opinion, its provisions do not reflect the conditions found in cost-reimbursable situation. For~ these reasons we recommend that consideration be given to~ modifying the existing contract clause to reflect the actual practice under which the Utility is fully paid on a continuing basis for work performed (see Revised Attachment B (1)). 14 The Authority's procurement practices have been modeled after those of the Federal Government. The Federal practice has been to exclude subcontracts and change orders of less than $100,000.03 and those contracts that are competitively bid. For further clarification the proposal as stated in Revised Attachment 3 (2) is offered. 5. A `Dispute' clause was proposed to PEPCO in a draft contract submitted to them in February 1973. However, the Authority was unable to obtain agreement that the provision be retained in the proposed agreement. We do agree with the District' staff that a dispute article is desirable and we would therefore propose to reopen discussions concerning this article with the objective of obtaining agreement for PAGENO="0278" 960 - 3 - Dr. Douglas N. Schneider, Jr. the re-insertion of the article or some alternative procedure for resolving disputes short of litigation in the courts. 6. The Authority staffs proposed wording for Section ts concern- ing the maintenance of separate books for all construction accounts is contained in the attached Revised Attachment B (2). 7. tIe would agree that it is desirable to have a `Termination for Convenience clause for the Authority. We recommend using the "Termination for Convenience" clause as used in our Standard Specifications with any appropriate modifications. (See Revised Attachment C.) 8. A. This proposal is an extension of the existing force majeure clause presently in the contract and the inclusion of such- terms are deemed acceptable. We would, therefore, recompend that the Authority's standard clause Termination for Default - Damages for Delay - Time Extensions' with appropriate medification be pro- posed. (SeeRevised Attachment D I.) B. We would agree to propose the good faith clause as suggested by the District staff as an added provision of the contract. (See Revised Attachment D 2.) 9. (The Authority staff agrees with the recommendation making re-estimates subject to \-fl-tATA approval.) The Authority staff's response to this is covered in the attached Revised Amendment B (1). 10. The Authority st.aff has previously agreed to this recommendation relative to the term of the contract. it is anticipated that the recommendation of the District of Columbia's staff will not undermine the fundamentel concepts and structure of the agreement. Where clarification is maceaser',', t;ne staff will seek to clarify all areas of the agreement and incorporate the other provisiofl5 customarily used to protect all parties.

This is done in two ports, with and without Technical Provisions, as stated in Section 111 2 of the i~rjreeaent. - 2. PEPCO's Transmission ard Distribution System Engineering Depart.Tent takes the System Planning plans and deteriiines feasibility, working with System Planning to make adjustments if necessary. Once the plans ore agreed to be feasible, cost estimates for the outside plant portions.of the Utility Project are determined. Outside Plant is * everything beyond the supply station feeder cable terarinetions. In making these estimates, T & 0 uses its standard unit cost estimating looks to apply costs to the physical units of conduit, cable, poles, wires, ctc. datorwired necessary. Tine-cost escalation ~-ili be ap~lieti to roficct costs at tim:escf act~iei `~crk by using indices derived from ?SPCOs his torical experience. 3. The T- & D estimates are then passed to PEPCOs Civil and Substation Eepineering Department where cost estimates of the `inside plant' portion of the Utility Project are made in a similar wanner. Civil and Substation Engineering then fon:ards the coiplate Utility Project estimate to the Building Sercices Department where a proposal to TA is prepared. - 4. The formal proposal consists of a statoreent of the estimated costs with and without the Technical Provisions, with the difference being identified as the Estimated Cost' of the Contributieh in Aid of Construction; a series of enginearing and construction cost S curves; and a schedule of monthly payments to be made by WRATA to PEPCO. 5. After tile iitilit~ Project is cew-Jieted ii the field, actual costs will be determined in accordance with standard PEPCO accounting practices. Once the actual cost of the Utility Project is known it will be divided by the estimated cost of J~ility Frojact for service in accordance with the Technical Provisions, as found in the formal proposal , and time resulting quotient will b2 rmrultipl ied by the estimated cost of Utility Project for service withc;ut the Technical Previsions. The revised estimate derived from this mel tiplication will be used as the Estimated Cost for comparing with the Actual Cost in determining the Actual Cost of Contributions in Aid of Construction.

REPORT OF REVENUE AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE--PROPOSED METRORAIL FARES: Mr. Barnett reFerred the Board to furnished copies of the previously furnished August 28 report and recommendation of the Revenue and Operations Committee on Metrorail Fares and requested adoption of the Report. The Chairman inquired If the Northern Virginia Transportation Com- mission had taken formal action on the recommendation and was informed that only Arlington County had taken action. Mr. Alexander requested that action be deferred to November 20 to allow the Virginia jurisdictions to take formal action. The Board agreed. Mr. Barnett opened discussion concerning the flat cost per mile cnarge being proposed as a basis for the Metrorail fares. He stated that in his opinion the fares to outlying points, such as Shady Grove and points iii Fairfax County, should either be based on a declining scale or that a maAimum fare be established. Following further discussion it was the consensus that the approval of the Metrorail fares at the present time should relate only to Phases I and II; that no attempt should be made to establish fares for additional phases, wherein Mr. Barnett moved, seconded by Mr. White and unanimously -4- 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt. 2 - 21 PAGENO="0322" 1004 passed, that paragraph 3, page 2 of the Committee Report be deleted. Ayes: 6 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. Tucker, Mr. White, Mr. Munsey, Mr. Washington and Mr. Barnett. Mr. Christeller pointed out that for Phase I operations the Revenue and Operations Committee had recommended a flat fare of 4O~ but that under the proposed mileage fares, after the AFCS is installed, the off- peak fare from Rhode Island Avenue Stat.ivn to Farragut North Station will be only 35g. It was the consensus that this and other matters would be addressed by the Board at the time of Board action on the Metrorail fare structure.

Mr. Garrett reported that this matter was submitted to the Board on July 31, 1975, August 14, 1975 and August 21, 1975 and action was deferred pending comments on the proposed agreement by the District of Columbia staff. Mr. Garrett re- ferred to attachment 1~ thereof being the staff response to the D.C. staff comments of October 15. Mr. Garrett reviewed the issues previously considered by the WHATA staff during their negotiations with PEPCO over the last two and one-half years. He reported that by letter of October 15, PEPCO had advised the Authority that continuing construction for Metrorail would not be guaranteed after October 23, 1975, unless PEPCO receives written as- surance that they will be paid for work already accomplished and for ~rk performed in the future, which work estimate by October 31 is $~,OOO,0OO and total work estimate is $8,881,700.

C. 20001 (202)637-1234 OCT 2.0 `i975 MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman and Members of the Board JOSETH ALEXANDER SUBJECT: STERLINS TUCKER CE~b5 FRANC;SW.WHIrE Negotiations between WHATA and the Potomac Electric Power SoVC!e:We'~ Company (PEPCO), to establish an Agreement under which facilities EVERARDMUNSEV would be installed and electric services supplied to Metrorail, have been conducted through a series of meetings over a period of WALTER E.V/ASHINGTON two and one-half years. D~s~ict 5 C~N~bia CLEATU~EBARNETT The proposed agreement (Attachment 1) provides for construction by PEPCO of electric service facilities required by Metrorail, All~~ t~D~eea~ reimbursement to PEPCO by WMATA for special facilities required by C RE e YJR WMATA establishment of Metro as a customer class a Cost of Service Study, and establishment of a Rapid Transit Rate Schedule. This JAMES E.coATes . matter was submitted to the Board on July 31, 1975, August 1k, 1975 JERRYA MOORE, JR and August 21, 1975. Action was deferred pending comments on the ofCoIA~b~a . proposed agreement by the District of Columbia's staff. Background RST Es nformatio~ relative to the proposed agreement is enclosed (Attach- ment 2) Cohn and Marks, consultant for the District of Columbia staff, has prepared commmnts on the proposed agreement (Attachrrent 3) Copies of these comments were furnished to the Authority on October 15, 1975. The Authority staff's response to the D. C. staff's consultant's comments is contained in Attachment 4. The effort expended in preparing these comments is appreciated, but the comments themselves reiterate issums previously considered by the WMATA staff during their negotiations with PEPCO over the last two and one-hal f years. 1. The suggestion that WMATA provide its own generating and distribution facilities was originally considered prior to any negotiations with PEPCO. However, the initial capital investment by WMATA was estimated to be one-half billion dollars versus a WMATA cost of $40 million to have PEPCO construct the necessary facilities as provided under the proposed agreement. 2. The proposed agreement provides for a Cost of Service Study to be furnished by PEPCO. This study was received on October 15, 1975. 1009 Approval of Proposed Electric Service Agreement No. MA-O1i3 Between WMATA and the Potomac Electric Power Company, and Reimbursement for Construction otrw,~~ Op.-,ef t.U~eg,~ WARREN OLJENSTEDT D~pAiy ~ 5Oege~' W!LUAM A.

The 30-year term of agreement as proposed Is advanta- geous to the Authority since it permits compatibility of WNATA equipment with PEPCO's, removes the possibility of an 8 to 12~ surcharge per annum on WtIATA's cost of construction, retains the Authority as a special class of customer with a special class rate, and obligates PEPCO to provide the special facilities required by the Authority over the long term at PEPCO?s actual cost without any element of profit. - 4. The Authority staff considers the provisions in the Agreement for audit and cost control of the Authority's contri- butions in Aid of Construction to be adequate. 5. The force majeureclause contained in the proposed Agreement is adequate to protect the Authority's interest. PEPCO has advised WtIATA by letter of October 15, 1975 that continuing construction for Metrorail would not be guaranteed after October 23,. 1975, unless they receive written assurance that they will be paid for work already accomplished and for work performed in the future. PEPCO's estimate for construction of Phase II is $6,886,900 and $1,994,800. for Phase ha. This is~currently being evaluated by WHATA's staff. PEPCO stated that its actual expenditure as of September 31, 1975 is $3,925,331 of which $3,061,578 is reimbursable by WNATA. It is estimated that by October 31, 1975, reimbursable expenditures will be approximately $4,000,000.. It is considered that the proposed Electric Service Agree- ment is in the best interest of the Authority and approval is recommended. It is further recommended that, Attachment 5, the request for expenditure of funds to reimburse PEPCO for work completed through October 31, 1975 be approved. Roy T.

PEPCO's Transmission and Distribution System Engineering Depnrb~ent takes the System Planning plans and determines feasibility, working with Systars Planning to cake adjustments if necessary. Once the plans are agreed to be feasible, cost estimates for the "outside plant' - portior.sof the Utility Prdject are determined. `Outside Plant' is everything beyond the supply station feeder cable terminations. : In making these estimates, T & D uses its standard unit cost estimating books to apply costs to the physical units of conduit, cable, poles, wirc~s, ctc. dntor-.ained necessary. inc-cost escalation will bc applied tn reflect costs at times c-f ect~si sicrk by using indices derived from P~PCO `s historical experience. 3. - The f & U estimates ar~»= then passed to PEPCO's Civil and Substation En~jneering Departicant where cost estimates of the "inside plant" portion of the Utility Project a6e made in a similar manner. Civil and Suhstaticn Engineering then forwards the complete Utility Project estimate to the Duilding Ser~'ices Department where a proposal to ~i~TA is prepared. 4. The formal proposal consists of a statesiect of the estimated costs with and without the Technical Provisions, with the difference being identified. as the "Estimated Cost" of the Contributioh in Aid of Construction; a series of engineering and construction cost "5" curves; and a schedule of monthly i~a~'mants to be made by W~TA to PEPCO. 5. After the it ijit~' project is cewaleted i-i the field, actual costs s:ill be determined in occcrdnnce s:i th standard PEPCO accounting practices. Once the actual cost of the Utility Project is known it will be divided by the catimated cost of Utility Vroject for service in accordance with the Technical Provisions, as found in ti~o fared proposal, and the resulting quotient will be c-ultiplic-d by the estimated cost of Utility Project Ice service withcimt the Technical Prcvisicns. The revised estimate c!n'-ived free this mul Lipl icalion will be used as the "Estimated Cost" for comparing with the `Actual Cost" in determining the "Actual Cost" of Contributions in Aid of Construction.

In March 1973, the Authority opened discussions with PEPCO concerning construction of facilities arid the sale of electric energy to Hetrorail. AFter.-:~ an exchange of communications, a meeting followed at which WMATA's proposed agree ren~ and PEPCO s proposed agreer~nt were discussed . SPEPCO at that.tirco i~equested. that negotiations be postponed since :its staff * was involved in hearings for an electric rate increase before the Commissions in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Contact was re-established on November 23, 1973 when a revisedWMATA proposed ~graement was sent to PERCO and a meeting date of December 5, 1973 was set. PEPCO again requested a delay of :~~-~J-: * - nagotiations since their staff was heavily involved with the energy crises. Subsequent meetings were held and correspondence exchanged until January 21; 19Th - -. when an apparent Impasse was reached concerning voltage regulation, cash advances ~- -- aid a Me'~rorail rate schedule After P..PCO cancelled subsequent meeting with WMATh a letter was sent ~o tha President of PEPCO requesting that their negotiating team be composed of :- members who could indeed act on their behalf. After_~ further exchange of ::--.:~1:.~ * correspondence between PEPCO and WMATA, it was appar~nt that an impasse had been -* reached. - S *---: - On June 11 197k the sta'f presented a Ste us Report of tna W .~TA-PEPCO negotiations at the June 13, 1974 Board of Directors Meeting in which the staff recommended that the various commissions should decide the issues between PEPtO - and ~4MATA. The staff continued to work with PEPCO to see if the issues could be resolved. - - : - At that time, Chairmen Barnatt requested that the policy Cf issuing 1ett~rs-. o irtent be discoitin~ed On June21, 1974, I4MATA met with PEPCO for further negoti~tions. A PE?CO Vice President was nmi assigned to their negotiating team. Between June 1374 -:--::-~~~ end June 1975, many meetings were held with PEPCO to work out the languace of the agreement acceptable to both sides. PEPCO, during the course of this time~:~~ requested many postponements because of the many hearings before Congress end *---~ the n ious cosnissions con~erning the cos o erergy On June 24, 1975, an agreement w~s reached at staff level. The document ~ executed and transmitted to WHATA for approval on July 2, 1975. The agreement established the guidelines, procedures and working relationship bst~-;een WiIATA and~.- th~ Potomac Electric Power Company for the installation of new electric service - to serve the Matrorail facilities in the Potomac Electric Power Company's - - - service area, with provisions for determining en electric rate for ~stroreT1. : - -_ - PAGENO="0357" 1039 Background Information Page Two The principal provisions contained in the agreement are as follows: 1. The Authority's facilities to be served arid need dates for service are defined. 2. PEPCO will own, operate, maintain and replace as required facilities installed by PEPCO. 3. The Authority will reimburse PEPCO the cost of installing service in excess of the normal installation cost.' ~ A Cost of Service Study will be made by PEPCO and WHATA to determine PEPCO's cost of serving Metrorail. The results of the Cost of Service Study will be used to developan electric rate for Metrorail for primary electric service. Secondary - service will be billed at applicable filed tariffs. 5. The Authority shall have access to PEPCO's pertinent documents concerning bills rendered to the Authority by PEPCO. 6. The Agreement may be modified or amended at any time by mutual agreement by the Authority and PEPCO. The term of the Agreement is thirty years. " The staff presented said contract to the Board of Directors for approval at the July 31, Atfgust 11f and August 21, 1975 meetings. Each time action was delayed at the request of the District of Columbia. On August 19, 1975, the staff met at length with the District representatives and a lengthy detailed discussion followed on all aspects of the contract. A subsequent meeting was held on September 9, 1975. The WI~ATA staff's file on the record of negotiations was delivered to the District's staff on September 12, 1975. WMATA'S staff has been in verbal contact with the District staff, but there was no correspondence to \4MATA documenting their comments, until October 15, 1975, when comments were presented by the D. C. staff. The connents were prepared by the D.C. staff's consultant, Cohn & Marks. The Authority's staff has prepared a re- sponse to the D. C. staff's consultant comments. A letter to the Authority dated September 16, 1975 and October 15, 1975 from PEPCO stated that PEPCO has continued to construct facilities for Metrorail without a contract for a period of well over a year. In the absence of a signed contract or an additional letter of agreement, the only remaining course of action for PEPCO would be to stop work on the project. As a matter of clarification, although during the 2-1/2 years of negotiations with PEPCO, they have requested many postponements due to hearings before Congress, various Regulatory coemissions and the public concerning the energy crisis, PEPCO PAGENO="0358" 1040 3ackground Information Page Three has continued to construct facilities without an agreement and with the full understanding that WHATA could not advance monies under a Letter of Intent. Without this kind of continued construction effort, it is very doubtful that Metrorail facilities would have been completed in time for WMATA's need dates. In a way of summarizing, the following is offered: a. WHATA's staff has negotiated a contract with PEPCO which has been presented to the Board for approval. Provisions were made in the contract to provide for payments for continuing construction costs and for a Cost of Service Study and rate development. This was done so that negotiation concerning the rate would not delay the conclusion of the present agreement. This would allow that construction of W1iATA facilities would not be held up while rate negotiations proceeded. The agreement upon a rate between WMATA and PEPCO does not affect the - contract. After the Cost of Service Study is received, it could be several months before a final rate is agreed upon. - b~ The District of Columbia's staff has been analyzing the agreement, and comments prepared by its staff's consultant was received by the Authority on October 15, 1975. The Authority has responded to their comments. c. PEPCO has advised WHATA that construction will be halted unless the Contract is signed, a Letter of~ Intent is issued or some other arrangement is made to assure them that they will be paid for work already accomplished and will be paid for work performed in the future. - The date for suspension of work, as we understand it, is October 23, 1975. d. PEPCO's estimate for construction of Phase 11 is $6,086,900 and $1,99L~,8OO for Phase Ha. This is currently being evaluated by \4MATA's staff. PEPCO stated that its actual expenditures as of * September 31, 1975 are $3,925,331 of which WHATA's share is $3,100,000. It is estimated that by October 31, 1975 reimbursable expenditures will be approximately $1~,00O,O00. In view of the foregoing, and in order that construction continue on the installation of facilities for Hetrorail Phases Ii and lie, it is recommended that the following be approved: a. New Electric Service Agreement MA-0k3. b. Approval of funds to reimburse PEPCO for expenditures for construc- tion performed through October 31, 1975.

Walters, Vice President, Rates and Regulatory Practices, responded to a September 4, 1975,- letter from Vernon ~. Garrett, Jr. of your staff, wherein Mr. Garrett outlined a chronology projecting further delays to the execution of a final Service Agreement be- tween PEPCO and WMATA. In his letter of reply, Mr. Walters, * expressing PEPCO's growing concern over the lack of final action~ by the ~1MATA Board of Directors, recounted the following history: that PEPCO had, in good faith, participated in 18 months of . - arduous negotiations with the WMATA staff; that these negotia- tions had resulted in the drafting of a "final" Service Agree- ment between the parties; that on July 2, 1975, that Agreement was executed on behalf of the company by Ellis T. Cox, Executive Vice President; and that the WMATA Board, for reasons not made clear, has not yet authorized the Authority to execute the docu- ment in question. Mr. Walters thereupon urged the Authority to either- sign the contract or execute some interim document. such as a "letter of intent" to assure PEPCO that the construction servines performed over the past year under a very uncertain con- * tractual arrangement would be compensated. In absence of any affirmative action on the part of WMATA, PEPCO's only remaining course of-action, Mr. Walters suggested, "would be to stop work on the project Nearly a month has passed since Walters wrote his letter and thus far, we have heard nothing by way of response from tha PAGENO="0373" 1055 - PoTo~c Ei~xcmic Pow~n CoMP~»=ir Mr. Jackson Graham PageTwo . October 15, 1975 Authority. This latest series of events, or rather non-events, is deeply disturbing. As you know, during Phase I construction, PEPCO performed close to $3,000,000.00 worth of services in the design and construction of such service facilities as are re- -- quired to supply electricity to the subway system. The parties operated by the terms of a July 7, l972,"letter of intent" where-. under all work performed by PEPCO was funded by cash advances made by the Authority at appropriate intervals; the Authority's obligation re compensation owing to PEPCO for the construction of service connection facilities was to be more definitely estab- lished in a separate general agreement. to be negotiated. . When Phase ii construction commenced in July of 1974, PEPCO continued to perform work despite the fact that its costs exceeded the initial advance made under Phase I and further despite the fact that in 1974, the WMATA Board of Directors in- structed its General Manager not to advance any further sums to PEPCO under the July 7, 1972, "letter of intent" until a final general agreement had been negotiated between the parties. As an expression of corporate citizenship, and because negotiations, though lengthy and quite technical, were proceeding smoothly, I personally authorized the continuation of construction work under Phase II. As of September 30, 1975, the cost of this work to the company has amounted to $3,925,331.00. From October - to December, 1975, new construction is expected to average about $925,000.00 a month, adding an additional exposure by year's end of $2,775,000.00 or a total of uncompensated service by year's end (less approximately $1,000,000.00 of Phase I overage) of $5,606,622.00. Aside from the severe cash squeeze that such a - deficit imposes upon a publicly held corporation, my legal staff has advised me that in light of last year's action by the ~. Authority's Board of Directors shutting off further advances arid/or obligations under the July 7, 1972, "letter of intent", it would be unwise and imprudent for ~ne to authorizo the perfor-~ mance of any additional constructIon work without some legally binding document setting forth the rights and/or obligations of the parties as well as the terms of payment. Such a document must, of course, be accompanied by sufficient funds to cover almost $4,000,000.00 worth of construction work performed under Phase II. PAGENO="0374" 1056 PoTo~c ELECTRIC PoWER CoMPA~Y Mr. Jackson Graham Page Three October 15, 1975 Because of the confusion which has ensued since PEPCO and the WMATA staff committed to writing the final terms of ~a Service Agreement, I thought it appropriate to set forth hereinabove the company's position. I have been informed that our legal counsel has consulted with your staff and that - as a result, this matter has been placed on the agenda of the meeting of the Authority's Board scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 1975. I have been further informed that the matter will be finalized, if possible, at that meeting but in no event later than at the meeting scheduled for October 23, 1975. Please be assured. that PEPCO stands ready to assist you and your staff by providing any and all relevant background materials, information or expertise.

This memorandum constitutes our report on that agreement., It is based upon several meetings which we have held with Metro officials, a review of the relevant memoranda and correspondence pertaining to the agreement which the Metro officials provided us and follow-up conversations.' We conclude, for the reasons more fully described in * ~ this report, that there remain a number of matters which, at the very least, ought to be clarified and ideally resolved before the agreement is finally approved by the Metro Board. A. History of Negotiations and Summary of Agreement I. On July 7, 1972, Pepco and Metro entered into a letter of intent covering the provision of electric- ~service connection facilities during Phase I of Metro. The letter of intent, which is presumably still in force, provides that all work performed by Pepco will be funded initially by `cash advances" made by Metro. It calls for. the negotiation and execution of a `separate general agre&ment" to govern the obligations and liabilities of Metro to Pepco in connection with the service connection facilities. The negotiations looking toward the creation. of that separate general agreement have been conducted intermittently since the execution of the letter of intent and have culminated in the present proposed draft. We have been advised by Metro officials that some time ago a dispute arose as to the cash advances under the letter of intent; and that Metro officials have been instructed - by its Board to make no futher payments until a final agreement has been entered into. As a result, Pepco 1061 COHN AND MARKS MEMORANDUM TO: Douglas Schneider John H. Hartley FROM: Edwin B. Spievack'~ Ian D. Volner. DATE: September 24, 1975 SUBJECT: Pepco-WMATA Agreement PAGENO="0380" 1062 -2- is owed some $2 million for work which it has previously performed. In addition, we are advised extensive additional construction involving Pepco is anticipated over the next several months. Pepco has taken the position that it is very reluctant to go forward with additional work until the total of the past-due amounts have been paid arid until the definitive agreement has been entered into, 2. The proposed agreement deals exclusively with the installation of service connections and the provision of electric energy to Metro.1/ The salient provisions of the proposed agreement are these: (a) Metro will buy all of its electric energy for operation of the subway system within Pepco's franchise areas (D.C., Maryland and a small portion of Virginia) exclusively from Pepco. The contract is supposed to provide that all purchase~ of energy on Metro's contiguous right-of~-way will be made pursuant to a newly created single rate designated IrRT.i Purchases of energy for - - delivery to other locations owned by l'ietro -- i.e., bus terminals;, chiller plants, executive offices, etc. -- are to be made at Pepco's generally applicable rate for that type of use. (b) Pepco will install service connections -, in accordance with the technical standards specified - by Metro. It will be compensated for this investment and labor in the form of Contributions-in_Aid_of_Construction The Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction requirement is premised upon the concept that Metro's technical standards will cause Pepco to incur a larger investment and more labor costs than the company would have incurred in connecting other (more "normal') customers. Contribution-in-Aid- ~of-Construction thus purports to represent the difference between (i) the cost, to Pepco of investment and construction in accordance with Metro's technical requirements and (ii) the lesser cost which Pepco would have incurred were it not for Metro's specific engineering standards. 1/ During the course of construction in the streets, ~etro has `required considerable relocation of Pepco's underground facilities. These relocation projects are carried out by Pepco work crews but the utility is re- imbursed by Metro. The relocation arrangements are the subject of a separate agreement which, we are advised, was entered into some time ago. PAGENO="0381" -3- 1063 (c) The Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction are to be computed in accordance with a complex formula which operates in the following manner: (i) At the commencement of a project involving Pepco, the utility will estimate the cost of construction on two bases: (1) in accordance with the utility's normal standards but without regard to Metro's technical requirements; and (2) in accordance with the utility's standard construction practice but in conformance with Metro's technical.~equirements. The difference between these two estimates constitutes the "Estimated Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction.". Metro will make advance payments based on this figure during the construction of the specific project; these payments will be scheduled on the basis of pre-determined: "5" curves, representing the various stages in completion.:: of the project. (ii)-~ At the completion of the project, Pepco will determine the Actual Cost of Construction. The balance of Metro's Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction is then determined: (1) the Actual Cost of Construction is divided by the Estimated Cost in accordance with Metro's technical provisions; (2) the resultingquotient is I multiplied by the Estimated Cost without Metro's technical~ requirements; and (3) the Total Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construc- tion is then determined by.subtracting the result of this multiplication from the Actual Cost of Construction. Metro is required to pay at the end of the project the difference between the amount which it has theretofore paid in accordance with the "S curves and the Total -~ Contribution-im-Aid-of-ConStrUc~iOfl. (d) Pepco may re-estimate any Estimated Contribu- tion-in-Aid-of-Construction as described above; and the increased amount ~of such estimate must be paid by Metro along with the "S' curve. In addition, if ~-1etro changes the conditions of a project resulting in a increase in cost~ Pepco is to be reimbursed as those increased costs are incurred. - - - -: (e) The agreement gives Metro the authority to examine Pepco's books `for the sole purpose of validating estimated or ~ctual costs' during the project and for a period of two years after final payment. Metro has a similar authority to examine the books of Pepco's sub- contractors for the same two-year period after final mayrnent; but this audit authority does not apply to sub- contracts for less than $100,000 and to subcontracts : "awarded competitively.' - -. PAGENO="0382" 1064 (f) The proposed agreement contains standard provisions, prohibiting bfficials, members įf Cong~ess, etc: from "benefItting from the. contracts; an.d requiring equal employment opportunities as specified by law. The agreement recites that the Public Service Commissions of Maryland, the District and Virginia shall have jurisdiction over the agreement to the extent that they wouldotherwise have such jurisdiction as provided by their respective enabling statutes. . (g) The agreement excuses Pepco from liability for non-performance or delay in performance as the result of circumstances beyond its reasonable control. But circumstances beyond Pepco's rea~onable control is defined to include `inability to obtain . . . labor, materials or manufacturing facilities `from usual sources, lack of capacity or lack of energy.!' (h) ,The agreement specifies a term of 30 years, cancellable thereaf.ter~by'either party upon one year~s written notice. The agreement, however, is subject to the further condition that' it shall not in any way. prevent Pepco from filing amended, new or superseded rate schedules, general terms and conditions or rules and regulations "gov~rning any rates or teems of service for electricity sold by utility to authority" with any regulatory commission having `jurisdiction in the premises. :` B. Substantive Matters . The matters which we cons~~der to be in need of clarification fall into two categories: (i) pr9blems of substance ` and (ii) problems of contract drafting. This section of the' memorandum deals with the substantive matters; the problems of drafting are noted in the succeeding section. . ` I RT Schenule The single rost inportant problem arises from the requirement that Pepco establish an "RT" rate. (Contract, Section II.A.) In' essence, this RT schedule will constitute the basis upon which all Metro payments to operate its trains and stations will. be made. - We are informed by Metro officials that Pepco i's supposed to prepare a cost of service study and develop the RT schedule from that study. The study~ however, has not yet been dcwe. (Section u.S.) Immediate problems therefore arise: I ` PAGENO="0383" 1065 -5- (a) Rate design is of great importance to a uti- lity. user like Metro which has unique energy usage charac- teristics. Metro's officials and consultants have described to us the rate design which they contemplate for the RT schedule in some detail; and, as described7 the rate design may not be entirely satisfactory. Metro's consultant anti- cipates that there will be a -two-tier rate design consisting of (i) a demand charge representing Metro's proportionate share of Pepco's investment in production facilities and (ii) an energy or variable charge reflecting the actual cost of. providing electric energy to transit operations. Such a rate design may be in accordance with normally accepted rate making procedures and may be favorable to Metro without unduly dis- criminating against other Pepco customers. However, the de- sign of the RT rate is decidedly not spelled out in the proposed contract (Section II.B.); and there is no docurnenta- tion in the files which we have examined showing that Pepco ~*is in agreement as to this.proposed rate design. There is thus no assurance that the rate will, in fact, be designed as described. Any other rate design -- i.e., a single chargecovering both fixed and variable costs -- could well~ be detrimental and extremely costly to Metro. (b) Because no cost of service study has been performed, there is no way to determine wh.at the rate levels (that is, the precise charges) to Metro under the RT schedule will be. 2/ This makes it impossible for the Metro Board at the present time to make an accurate esti- mate of Ci) the total amount in dollars which it will be teguired to pay Pepco for the provision of energy in a year and (ii) the amount, expressed as a percentage, that energy costs will represent to Metro's total operating costs. Moreover, until the cost of service study has been completed a number of technical rate questions~-- which may be of interest to the Metro Board *-- cannot be answered. For example, because of differences in the authorized rates of 2~/ Rate levels are directly a function of the cost of ser- iice analysis. Under accepted rate making principles, . Pepco is entitled to earn a specified rate of return on its investment or rate base. Pepco's determination of the rate base properly attributable to Metro is made in the cost of se~vice study; and will thus absolutely control the rate levels which Metro will be required to pay. PAGENO="0384" 1066 -6- return in Maryland, Virginia and D.C., the RT rate in each jurisdiction may be different. No procedure is established in the contract to obtain uniform rate treatment, but the extent of rate differences among the resoective jurisdic- tioris cannot now be determined. Similarly, until the cost of service study is done, Metro cannot determine whether Pepco properly computed the Metro Rate Base. 2. At the present time, then, acceptance of the agreement would effectively commit Metro's Board to the pur- chase of all electric energy from Peoco without any know- led~ of how the charges will be imposed (rate desig~~r how much it will cost. Metro officials have suggested that there is some tact icaJ. advpn e to e~:ecution of the agree- ment before the PT schedule has been drafted and the cost of se~rvice study r~rep~reo.. ~e do not understand the basis for this suggestion. Further, Metro officials point out that the RT schedule must, in any case, be submitted to the Public Service Commissions in each of the three jurisdic- tions; they suggest that if the FT schedule is unacceptable in design or levels, Metro would be free to contest imple- mentation of the rates before the Public Service Commis- sion. That may be correct. Nevertheless,~in our view, prudence dictates teat the herro Foard have bcfore it a CO~L C cL~71CC a-~a1~'s1E a~ ~ato so ec.._~ cc ~ e~e~s into a contract which absolutely commits it to buy from Pepco. - 3. The Cont~ibuticns-in-~Aid-Of-COmStrUCti0~ Metro's technicas sLandards will :uquira Pep-cc to more investment and lasor costs than would otherwise be the case if proper controls were established. Under the contract, Metro iS temuired to pay at ICESt a portIon of the service connection investment and associeted costs. There are, however, a number of questions concerning the implementation of thiF concept: ~.a) The audit controls are inadequate. Under the agreement, Metro is not required to pay the full cost of service connections but only thet crocortion of the cost representing the difference between what it would cost Pepco to connect a more normal customer and the. higher cost of connection resulting from Metro's specific PAGENO="0385" 1067 -7- technical requirements. 3/ Unless proper audit controls are established, Metro will have no means of satisfying itself that it has received full credit for all of its Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction and that these con- tributions have been applied exclusively to reduce Metro's rate base and not the rate base of some other class of customer. The only audit provision in the contract, how- ever, limits Metro's audit power to verification of the estimates:and actual amounts of construction (Section. IV). This is insufficient to assure Metro that its rate base is not being improperly exaggerated. We suggest that the contract should require Pepco to maintain at all times separate books showing (i) the net amounts of Contributions- in-Aid-of-Construction made by Metro and (ii) the manner in which such contributions have been applied to Metro's rate base. We are led to believe that Pepco does not in- tend to maintain such separate books in any case. There is no reason why they should not be required to do so by contract. (b) The various estimates of Contributions-in- Md-of-Construction include not only direct costs," but ~`indirect" costs. Pepco's methods for the ~allocation of overhead and other indirect costs to various projects has, in other contexts, been a source of considerable controversy. We therefore believe that the formal cost estimates which Pepco Os required to submit should se~a- rately state the amounts of direct and indirect costs and should describe with particularity themanner in which the indirect costs have been determined and allocated. Since the Contributions-in-Aid-of--Construction are supposed to be "without any element o-f profit," such a separate breakdown of direct and indirect costs will enable Metro to assure itself that there is no profit factor included. (c) The formula specified for the determina- tion ~f Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction provides no 3/ Thus, Metro will not own the service connections out- ~ighb. A portion of the service connections will be in- Cluded in Pepco's determination of the rate base for Metro.., The amount of the service connections in rate base should be reduced by the amount of Contributions-in-Aid-of-Con- struction made by Metro. ` 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt.2 - 25 PAGENO="0386" 106S -8- incentives or pressure qn P~pco to keep the cost~of construction at a rninimum~ The payments to be made by Metro along the S curve represent, as indicated, the difference between the estimated cost of construction in accordance with Metro's technical requirements and the estimated costs without regard to those special conditions. The greater this spread, the more money Pepco will receive during the construction period. Since this represents money `up front," there is a substantial advantage to Pepco -~- particularly over a long-term project -- to underestimate the Estimated Cost without regard to Metro's special requirements. In addition, by keeping down the Estimated Cost without regard to Metro's special requirements, Pepco will actually increase the total amount of Contributions-~ in-Aid-of-Construction required from Metro. 4/ There are a number of ways of d~aling with this problem. One possibility is to add a provision stating that, if the Actual Cost of the project exceeds the Estimated Cost in accordance with Metro's technical rquirements by a -_ specified percentage, then the total amount of the Contribu- tion-in-Aid~of-Construction will be reduced in proportiOn. -~ to the excess percentage. Such a formula would put enormous pressure on Pepco to make its estimates as accurate as possible and to complete the constructioh project as closely as possible to the estimated cost. Nor would such a restriction unduly penalize Pepco: to the extent. that the costs of construction are not recovered through the contributions, Pepco's investment would still be included in its rate base for Metro. 4/. Appendix F to the contract contains an example of ~Ehe procedure to be used in determining Contributions-in~Aid- of-Construction. A variance of one figure set forth inthat example will' demonstrate the effects of the present formula described above. Under the illustration contained in the agreement, the estimated cost without regard to - Metro's special requirements, is $2.0 million; If Pepco had underestimated this figure by $500,000, projecting an Estimated Cost Nithout Technical Provisions of $1.5 million, then (i) the amounts paid by Metro on the 5 curve would ha~!e been $2 million (rather than $1.5 million) and the total amount of Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction would be $2,285,500 (rather than $l.7l4 million). Thus, - Metro would have paid more over the S curve and in aggregate solely because Pepco had underestimated the cost without technical provisions by $500,000. PAGENO="0387" 1069 -.9- (d) The provision (Section III. 5.) which authorizes Pepco to re-estimate its estimated costs at any time while work is in progress is likely to create havoc for Metro in the area of budgeting. The example contained in Appendix F illtistrates this problem: under the example, Metro would have budgeted $1.5 million as the amount to be paid along the S curve; if, in the middle of the project, Pepco suddenly revised its estimate upward, Metro would be obligated to make payments along the S curve for which there had been no advance budgeting. Moreover, the re-estimating provision could result fri payments by Metro along the S curve in excess of the amount of the Total Contribution. 5/ No provision is made in the agreement to deal with the problem of overpayrnents, It is likely that, to the extent that such overpayment * exists, Pepco will attempt to simply apply the overpayments to future projects; such a practice would create serious audit difficulties for Metro. For.these reasons, we believe that Pepco should not be entitled to re-estimate the Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction except where Metro has changed the project so that it results in increase~ costs to Pepco. Such a provision provides further incentive for accurate estimates. 4. Force Majuere. The provision of the agreer~nt (Sectthri VIII) excusing Pepco.frorn liability from non-perform- ance is detrimental to Metro in several respects: (a) The clause stating that Pepco is not liable for `~lack of capacity or lack of energy' is so broad that we suspect that it does not really mean what it says. 5/ Again, the example in Appendix F illustrates this problem: under the example,, Metro must make estimated contributions of $1.5 million on the basis of the S curve and an additional $214,000 upon completion of the project, * for a total of $l.7l4 million. However, suppose Pepco * re-estimates during the course of the project, increasing the total payments on the S curve from $1.5 million to $2 million. This means that, at the completion of the project, Metro would actually have overpaid Pepco by $286,000. PAGENO="0388" 1070 If read literally, the provision means that Metro is absolutely committed to buy all its energy from Penco, but Pepco has no obligation to provide either energy or capacity to meet that commitment. In fact, we suspect that what Pepco is concerned about is intermittent power failures which nay occur because of circumstances that could not be foreseen. In any case, clarification of what exactly is meant by this provision seems to us essential. (b) The provision also excuses Pepco from liability for non-performance or delay if it is una&le to obtain labor, materials or manufacturing facilities "from usual sources.' This can create serious problems. Read literally, this means that if Pepco has customarily purchased cable from Anaconda, but Anaconda is unable to provide cable without-extensive delays, then Pepco is under no obligation to seek to obtain the materiel from another source -- i.e., Kennicott. This provision could cause serious difficulties to ~1etro in meeting its timetable for the commencement and expanasion of operations, a problem with which the authority is already familiar. In our judgment, Pepco should~ be put~ under an obligation to make all reasonable efforts to meet the construction timetables specified in its proposals. 5. Term. The 30-year contract term (Section IX) is, in our judgment, excessive. We note that the original draft of the agreement prepared by Metro's attorneys specified a ten-year term and that the agreement between Metro and Vepcq also specifies a ten-year term. ~1etro officials have suggestea that the 30-year term is, in some fashion, advantageous to the authority; we are unable * to perceive the merits of this view. Whatever the advantages of a 30-year term, they can be equally achieved by a shor~er term (i.e., 10 years), subject to successive renewals unless sooner terminated; and such successive renewals, gives ~1etro greater flexibility than it has now~. In our judgment, the effect of the 30-year term is to lock Metro into a contract even thoughthe service may be thoroughly inadequate and even though a1ternative~~ means of energy or power supply may then exist. Such an approach seems to us undesirable. PAGENO="0389" 1071 -11- 6. Termination. The agreern~nL is subject to the condition (Sectioi~i IX) that it does not in any way prevent Pepco from filing amended, new or superseded rate schedules, general terms and conditions, etc. with the Public Service Commissions governing any rates or terms of service' for energy or service sold by Pepco to Metro. This effectively gives Pepco the authority to abrogate its obligations under the agreement at any time by simply filing new rates or service conditions with -the appropriate regulatory authorities. It does not appear that Metro has the corresponding prerogative to terminate the agreement at any time; moreover, ?letro does not have the contractual right to contest any filings which Pepco might make with the Public Service Commission. The clause is addressed to a genuine legal problem: under the existing laws, the respective Public Service Commissions unquestionab-ly have jurisdiction over Pepco's rates to ~-1etro, including the power to compel Pepco to increase those rates if deemed necessary. Similarly, the Public Service Commissions have, in a general way, jurisdiction over the terms of service. Nevertheless, in its present form, the agreement is entirely one-sided and there are ways of redressing this imbalance. First, Pepco should be required by contract to use its best efforts to obtain Public Service Commis~ion approval for the initial filing of the RT schedule, after approval of that schedule by Metro. Secondly, Pepco should be required to consult with Metro prior to the filing of any proposals contemplating changes in the rates. Third,. a provision should be added stating that no changes will be proposed by PepcO to Public Service Commissions which will have the effect of increasing the amounts of Contribu- tions-in--Aid-of-Construction required by Pepco from Metro; although there is some question whether such a clause is enforceable as against the Public Service Commissions, it is likely the Cērnmissions will accept it. Finally, a provision should be added stating that if the terms ańdconditions of the agreement are abrogated or substantially changed as the result of an act of a Public Service Commission, then Metro, as well as Pepco, will be entirely relieved from its obligations under the agreement. - C~ Matters of Contract Draftinq There are, in addition, a number of. questions- where the language of the agreement is unclear. Based PAGENO="0390" 1072 -12- upon our review, it appears that these questions are the result only of imprecise contract language and do not raise substantive problems. It may, of course, turn out that some of these problems are indeed substantive: 1. Definitions. The definition of `actual cost of Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction" (Section I.E.) ~tates that the actu~1 cost is to be determined "without any element of profit to utility. The definitions of Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction (Section I.E.) and "estimated cost of Contribution-in-Aid-of-Construction" (Section I.G.) are supposed to correlate with this provision. However, neither of these definitions contain the phrase "without any element of profit to utility." Since the three definitions are intended to correlate, each of the three should contain the pertinent phrase. 2. RT Coverage. As indicated above, we understand, based upon the dotuments which have been provided and our discussions with Metro officials, that the RT schedule is supposed to cover all purchases of energy on Metro's contiguous right-of-way. What the contract, in fact, states, is that the RT schedule will cover the provisiąn of energy Pat primary voltage on contiguous authority right-of-way" and that `delivery at secondary voltage" will be billed under the utility's generally applicable rate schedules. As thus worded, it appears that deliveries of energy at secondary voltage but on the contiguous right-of-way will not be covered by the RT schedule. If this is what is intended, then serious substantive questions are raised. If this is not what is intended, the language should obviously be changed. 3. ~~g~ptance Procedure. The agreement (Section III.A.4) provides that "upon acceptance" by Metro of Pepco's estimates, the utility will proceed with the work on the project. To avoid future disputes, the contract should provide that the "acceptance" must be in writing and by a designated official of Metro. Moreover, there is ~io provision in the agreement to deal with the problems which will arise if Metro considers the proposal unacceptable. A provision should be added calling for a re-estimatioa:~ proceeding or for negotiations of the difference between Pepco and Metro *in such. case. In making this observation, we assume that Metro has either consultants or in-house capacity to decide whether a particular proposal by Pepco is or is *not reasonable. PAGENO="0391" 1073 -13- 4. Examination of Records. The provision (Section IV.B.) granting Metro the right to audit sub- contracts is defective. As the last sentence of the clause is worded, contracts of less than $100,000 or contracts awarded competitively are immune from Meo audit. Thus, two types of~subcontracts have been excluded from audit. 6/ We suspect that what was intended was not to exclude two types of contracts, but, rather, to exclude contracts which meet both conditions in that they are Ci) for less than $100,000 and (ii) awarded through competitive bidding. If we understand the intention of the contract correctly, the language must be changed. If the present language is not changed, then the provision is hollow: Pepco can avoid the entire audit process by the simple expedient of performing all Metro construction work through contractors, all of whom have been retained as th~ result of competitive bidding. D. Other Matters Our review has been limited to considerations of rate and general contract. There are other questions which may arise as to which we do not have sufficient information to reach any conclusions. These would include the following: S 1. What are Metro's obligations with respect to the contract in the event that the Transit Authority is dissolved and its responsibilities transferred to other organizations or organization? 2. What are Metro's obligations with respect * to thecontract in the event that a decision is made by the Board to complete less than all of the presently scheduled system or to defer construction of significant portions? Specifically, consideration ought to be given * to the consequbences `of the agreement if there is a delay in the extension of the system out of the District of Columbia and into Virginia and/or Maryland. 6/ On a substantive level, we are at a loss to ur~derstand ~hy contracts Mwarded competitively are immune from audit. PAGENO="0392" 1074 -14- E. - Conclusions For the foregoing reasons, we believe that there are a number of matters which, at the very least, should be clarified and ideolly resolved before the agreement is approved by the Metro Board. We understand that some satisfactory arrangement must be reached between Metroand Pepco with respect to the $2 million balance presently due to Pepco and with respect to additional construction which is scheduled in the immediate future. It seems to us, however., that this matter can be resolved through interim arrangements -- for example, continuation of the existing letter of intent -- until a proper and satisfactory agreement has been drafted. PAGENO="0393" 1075 / STAJECT; PROPOSED METRO/PEPCO CONTRACT We wish to present our detailed reasons for concluding that the proposed contract *bet~een METRO and PEPCO should not be signed. Appended to this summary is a mocp detailed analysis of the contract and adoLr~istrative 1nfirm1t~es created by the prcposed contractual relationship. 1. The proposed contract commits METRO to otain all its energy requirements from PEPCO for a period of thirty years, but places PEPCO under no compar- able obligation to furnish servIce during the period, excuses PEPCO f~on liability for delayed performance or non-nerformance, and permits PEPCO to change, alter or modify practically any tern or condition of the contract merely by filing tariff revisions with District, Maryland and Vir~ginia re- gulatory authorities * (a) Although energy. charses and rates are central to the contract, PEPCO * has furnished no Indication bf what this cost will be. The contraat * provides only that PEPCO will file a rate or rates with the regul~-~ tory commissions. There is no assurance that these rates will be uni- form or uniformly treated among the respective jurisdictions. PEPCO was toprovida METRO with a cost of service study showing how costsand * rates for METRO electric service will be determined, but to data the study has not been completed. If it ~s submitted after the contract - ~s s5gneci, METRO will hovo littlo or no negotiatinc~ latitude, and will have to argue through numerouc rate cases about any disagreements it may find in coat and pricing methodologies used by PEPCO. (b) Current information indicates that METRO has not considered alternative - ways of setting rates by contract or otherwise, and has not explored alternative sources of energy through wholesale purchases or other. means. . . (a) It does not appear that METRO has explored meang of insulating itself from treatment like that of any other aiectric consumer who must bear the burden of rising energy costs based on inflated capital expansion of PEPCO's entire e1ectr~c plant without regard to METRO's requirements. * 2. METRO Contributions-in-Aid~ofCOnStrUCti0n - The proposed contract commits }~TRO to pay, in the form of contributions-in-aid-of-costruction, the casl- - tel cost of electric transmission and distributIon facilities (i.e., service connections), based on the difference between the coat PEPCO would normally incur for auch facilities and the cost PEPCO will incur for the facilities as constructed to METRO's unique specifications. This difference, or ao-. called added cost, is what METRO pays. (a) The estimation of the difference, or added cost, is entirely controlled * by PEPCO and no adequate audIting procedureg or controls are established under the proposed contract to pr~event PEPCO from exaggerating its share * of the investment for the purpose of inflating its rate base and there- by increasing METRO charges for electricity. * PAGENO="0394" 1076 -2- (b) PEPCO can understate its estimated construction costs to increase METRO's capital contributions, or can re-estimate costs during con- atruction to obtain METRO contributions in excess of total construc- tion costs. (c) METRO does not aensar to have any clear idea of the total coht of con- struction for METRO service ~onnection facilities. ~1orcovor, sinc~ PEPCO is not requirdd, by contract or otherwise, to kaep separate capi- tal accounts for METRO contributions, these METRO oaynents may be de- ducted from PEPCO's entire rate base and nay have minimal or no effect in terms of reduced rates to METRO. (d) It does not appear that METRO has considered the financial advantages, if any, of requiring METRO to establish a mimi-rate base exclusive1~y for the benefit of METRO, treating METRO as a separate and distinct * class of customer, and off-setting METRO's capital contributions against a METRO rate base for the purpose of obtaining lower rates than night otherwise result from PEPCO's current intention to credit METRO contr~~ butions against its entire capital investment in electric plant used for all customers. -~ * (a) There is no information indicating that MET~O has cogsidered the over- * all beneficisl effects, if any, of substantially lower long-term alec- - trlc ratca if METRO waco to pay all of thc capital ccat'of acrvica.: connection facilities rather than sharing the coat with PEPCO. Und~r - the federal matching program, 80% of the cost~would be absorbed by the federal government, and the balance, as amortizedthrough revenue and general obligation bonds, might result in substantially lower operating * : costs compared to PEPCO's higher cost of capital based on debt and equity requirements which are guaranteed after the addition of hypo-. thetical federal income taxes.*/ There is reason to believe this method ~f financing might achieve as much as 12 to 14 percent lower annual operating costs for energy related servIce compared to the cost of sharing contributions wIth PEPCO. - - Conclusions-* -- -* - - I. At present approximately $2 million is owed to PEPCO for servIce connection construction.

This practice substantially Increases the cost of electricity, and gives PEPCO substantially greater reYenue than it appears to earn under its authorized rate of return.

It now ar)Deare that the obligation is immediately due whether or not the contract is signed; and that because of the contract problems, the Board's restric- tion on payment should be removed. 2. It appears that the risks involved in signing the proposed contract, with advance knowledge of its legal infirmities, lack of cost infornation, absence of cost, accounting and auditing controls, and the apparent failures to ex- plore alternatives, outweigh the need to sign the contract in order to li- quidate past due obligations to PEPCO --~ particularly since the obligation to PEPCO is extraneous to the contract and can be met without inpedinent to continuing construction regardless of whether the contract is signed. - 3, For the above reasons, the proposed contract with PEPCO should not be signed. Action ehould be deferred pending the receipt of more information and the promised, but past due, submission of PEPCO's cost study. When all information is received, it can then be determined what further negotia- tions will be required PAGENO="0396" 1078 ATTACHMENT ~t- October 20, 1975 WHATA STAFF RESPONSE TO D. C. DOT CONSULTANTS COMMENTS ON PEPCO-WMATA PROPOSED AGREEMENT - The District of Columbia Department of Transportation consultantts, Cohn and Marks, memorandum to Douglas Schneider and John E. Hartley dated September 24, 1975, Subject: PEPCO-WMATA Agreement, and a summary of the memorandum has been analyzed by the WHATA staff. Response to the comments, findings, conclusion and recommendation follow in the same sequence as in the memorandum. . Paragraph A. History of Negotiations and Summary of Agreement The history of negotiations and summary of agreement as. stated in Paragraphs A.l., A.2.(a) - A.2.(h) is substantially correct. Paragraphs B.l.(a), (b) RT Schedule The Cost of Service Study. has been prepared and sizbmitted to WMATA. The RT Rate Schedule has also been prepared and submitted to WMATA. The dollar values indicated therein are illustrative onfy as PEPCO has a pending rate increase petition before the D. C. Public Service Commission. The actual values cannot be determined until the D. C. Commission rules on that petition. Paragraph B.2 PEPCO has prepared Cost of Service Summaries which are to be used in preparing WMATAs RT Rate Schedule. The summaries range from a rate of return of 5.85~ through l0.5?~. The proposed agreement ~s designed with the basic provision for continuation of construction and raking provisions for a Cost of Service Study and subsequent rate development. Thk was so that construction would continue without getting construction tied down or halted while the rate development proceeded. . The WI~TA staff agrees that the RT Schedule must be submitted to the Public Service Commission in each jurisdiction and that if the RT Sche- dule is unacceptable in design or levels, the Authority is free to contest implementation of the rates before the Public Service Commission. Paragraph B.3.(a) The Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction Since WMATA is not a federal gency, there was no legal requirement that the contract contain an examination of records type provisions or any PAGENO="0397" 1079 other type of clause granting WHATA a contract right to audit PEPCO's cost records. However, the company did agree to a federal examination of records provision, substantially similar to that used by the Federal Government, pro- vided that the clause contain the phrase, "for the sole purpose of validating estimated or actual cost.. .related to estimated and actual cost contributions- in-aid-of-construction". It was understood that the only restriction being imposed on the Authority's auditors was that they would not be able to examine any of the company's records not directly pertinent to contributions-in-aid- of-construction. In the event of any disagreement as to the pertinence of records, the Authority does have recourse to the Public Service Commission. Maintenance of books and accounting procedures followed by PEPCO are those prescribed by the Federal Power Commissions and state regulatory commissions under the Uniform System of Account principle. Any deviation from such procedures would require approval of the Federal Power Commission and the appropriate state regulatory commissions; Since PEPCO is now adhering to the established accounting procedures as prescribed for the fore- going regulatory bodies, it is not necessary to approach these bodies to request that PEPCO be required to establish separate books when the proposed agreethent provides that we shall have access to all pertinent records pertaining to WHATA's cost of contributions-in-aid-of-construction, Cost of Service Study and WMATA rate deviation, in any event, PEPCO is required by commission regula- tions to maintain records which will permit the Authority to audit all expendi- tures in connection with the contributions-in-aid-of-construction. Paragraph B.3.(b) A response to this particular subparagraph is difficult because the statement is made that there is "considerable controversy" concerning the allocation of overhead and other indi.rect costs. WHATA is not aware of any controversy concerning such allocations with respect to contributions-in-aid- of-construction. However, if the concern is in connection with the control of the cost estimates submitted by PEPCO, the proposed agreement provides under ARTICLE III for complete review prior to acceptance by WMATA. The staff considers that these are adequate controls concerning the submission of estimates by PEPCO for contributions-in-aid-of-construction. - Footnote 3 With respect to WHATA ownership of the facilities installed by PEPCO, under the contributions-in-aid-of-construction, it was determined that retention of ownership would not be advantageous to WHATA because of the fact that retention of ownership would require (1) that WHATA establish and main- tain a staff to operate and maintain the facilities, (2) WMATA would have to establish a procedure for coordinating the operation of the facilities with PEPCO, and (3) WHATA would be responsible for the replacement of facilities. Paragraph B.3.(c) Cd) The contributions-in-aid-of-construction as made by WMATA are deductedfor rate making purposes from PEPtO's rate base. PEPCO cannot earn -2- PAGENO="0398" 1080 any profit on the amount contributed by WMATA. There is no advantage to PEPCO to inflate the construction cost as they would not benefit from such inflation. The estimates as submitted by PEPCO will undergo review by WMATA prior to acceptance. The provision for PEPCO to re-estimate by utility project any estimated cost of contribution-in-aid-of-construction or part thereof was mutually acceptable with the knowledge of the fact that the Authority's projects have suffered extensive delays and that inflationary pressures have increased all of WHATA's costs. It was assumad that the inflationary pressures would also increase the cost of the facilities to be provided by PEPCO. It was in recognition of this possibility that WMATA agreed to the re-estimating procedure. All re-estimates are subject to acceptance by WHATA and are not binding on WHALA until so accepted. In any event, a penalty type provision as suggested by the 0. C. consultant, to force PEPCO to submit accurate estimates, is legally unenforceable. Paragraph B.4.(a) Force Hajeure Under Article II, Rates and Service, Paragraph A provides that "Utility shall sell to Authority and Authority shall purchase from Utility pursuant to Rapid Transit Rate Schedule (RT)all electricity used by Authority in Utility's service area...". Furthermore, the Utility is obligated by Corcrnission regula- tions to provide service to all applicants in its service ares in accordance with the "General Terms and Conditions for Furnishing Electric Service" end the various rate schedules currently in effect. The Utility is obligated to provide continuous service within prescribed voltage ranges in accordance with the terms of the contract. Normally, the only deviation permitted by Cormsission- regulations is when interruptions in service or reduction in voltage occur beyond the control of the Utility. The Utility is required to rectify such conditions as rapidly as possible. Paragraph B.1.(b) The Utility would not construct the facilities required by the Authority if they were to be accountable to the Authority for any inability to obtain labor, materials or manufacturing facilities from its usual sources. It is considered that the operative language in the Force Majeure clause which would control those conditions under which the Utility would not be liable for failure to perform are the words "beyond its reasonable control". Paragraph B.5 Term The term of the proposed agreement is 30 years. The 0. C. consultant suggestion that a ten-year term be applicable so that at that tirms WiIATA would be free to procure electric service from another utility or generate its own electricity is not practical. There is no other private utility corrpany in the franchised area served by PEPCO. For WMATA to provide its own generating plant and distribution system would cost W?-tATA an estimated one-half billion dollars. The WHATA staff considers it advantageous to coc~mit PEPCO to a long- term (30 year) contract which is consistent with the expected life of \4HATA's equipmant designed to be compatible with PEPCO's. -3- - PAGENO="0399" 1081 Further, a 30-year term commits PEPCO to operate, maintain and replace the facilities installed by PEPCO under the contributions-in-aidofconStruction provisions without a specific charge to WMATA over the life of the contract (such charge usually ranges from 8~ to l2~ per annum of the amount of the customer's contribution-in-aid-of-construction for the duration of the electric service requirement of the customer). Also, a 30-year term retains WMATA as a Rapid Transit Class of customer with a specific RT rate. Alternate methods of WMATA procuring required electric service were reviewed and evaluated over 3 years ago. At that time, it was deemed impracticable for WMATA to install its own generating plant, transmission facilities, transforma- tion facilities and feeders required for service to WMATA. ThIs was predicated in part on the capital cost estimated to be in the order of one-half billion dollars and the fact that WMATA's right-of-way acquisition and rapid rail system engineering did not include any provision whatsoever for the right-of-way and the facilities that would be required for WMATA to provide for its own electric service. Further, it was estimated that the cost of the operation, maintenance and replacemant of WMATA's facilities would be substantially greater than the cost for similar service from PEPCO. The possibility of securing power from and/or Baltimore Gas and Electric, and the Virginia Electric and Power Company was reviewed and deemed impracticable due to franchise limitations since it would be necessary for the Utility to provide substantial new transmission and transformation facilities, and further because it is impossible for WMATA to install the required high voltage transmission and transformation facilities. Paragraph B.6 Termination WMATA as a customer has the right to submit complaints to the appro- priate commissions. PEPCO provides service to its customers only under the General Terms and Conditions and rate schedules on file with the appropriate commission. WMATA and PEPCO will use their best efforts to reach an agreement on the RI Schedule prior to any filing of the schedule with the appropriate commissions. If the parties cannot agree on the terms of the RI Schedule, the matter will be referred to the appropriate commission for resolution. Neither WtIATA nor PEPCO can by contract abrogate the regulatory authority of the commissiOn. Paragraph C. Matter of Contract Drafting Paragraph C.l Definitions Since it is clearly the understanding of the parties that thm "Actual cost of Contributions-in-aid-of-Construction" as defined in Section IN will not contain any element of profit to PEPCO, it is superfluous to include this definition in IE and 1G. -k- PAGENO="0400" 1082 Paragraph C.2. RI Coverage Delivery of electric service by the Utility to the Authority under the RI schedule will be provided at primary voltage (13Kv). Secondary voltage (2L~o/48o) will be provided at applicable secondary rate schedules. Paragraph C.3. Acceptance Procedure PEPCO and WMAIA will designate officials to implement the acceptance procedures by the Authority and to deal with day to day operations. Paragraph C.4. Examination of Records In recognition of the fact that the Authority is not a federal agency and thus cannot rely upon federal statutes or regulations governing the examina- tion of records of private organizations, PEPCO could not be required to include in the contract any clause pertaining to examination of its records. However, in recognition of the fact that substantial surre of rrmney would be transferred to PEPCO for construction of WNATA facilities, PEPCO agreed to virtually all of the provisions contained in the standard federal clause pertaining to the examination of records. Also, PEPCO would not accept an examination of records provision unless subcontracts awarded competitively or were less than $100,000 were excluded. Ihis procedure is in complete consonance with the Federal Pro- curemant Regulations. Paragraph D. Other Matters 0.1 - WiiATA's staff is not aware that WMATA may be dissolved and its respon- sibilities transferred to other organizations. The parties did not negotiate the proposed agreerrent with such an eventuality in mind. 11.2 WMAIA is only obligated to reirthurse PEPCO to the extent that-it authorizes PEPCO to construct utility projects. In the event the system is not constructed as designed or significant delays in construction occur, Wi~AIA would only be obligated to reimburse PEPCO for that portion of previously authorized projects that have been completed, in ~tiole or in part, by PEPCO at the time WMAIA stops further work. - -5- PAGENO="0401" 1083 WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY ACTION NO. 2: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL- OF AWARD 6z318B Contractor: Potomac Electric Power Company Contract Number: ___________________ Address: 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20006 Project Name: Utility Reimbursement for Phases II and ha WMATA Facilities Significant Revision, if any, to Procurement Action as described on reverse Side: No Form 1 previously submitted.

REPORT BY GENERAL MANAGER: Mr. Graham introduced former Board member and present Fal.ls Church Vice Mayor, Lee H. Rhoads, In connection with the showing of a film on the history of mass transit produced by his son, Lee Rhoads. Mr. Graham called on John Warrington, who referred the Board to furnished copies of a flyer "The Metro TTY" describing a system just installed for informing deaf citizens in the metropolitan area of Metrobus and Metrorail information by means of teletyped questions and answers. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Boleyn who reported that the Fiscal Year 1977 Budget would be furnished the Board in advance of the next Board meeti ng. REPORT BY NVTC, D. C., AND WSTC: Mr. Phillips reported that the NVTC Chairman was in the process of appointing a committee to work on the transfer of Virginia Interstate Highway 66 funds to Metro construction. Mr. Moore referred to a newspaper article which quoted the General Manager as stating that the pending D. C. application to transfer inter- state highway funds to the Authority probably delayed a long-term solution to the Authority's financial problems. Mr. Moore stated that the District of Columbia was acting in good faith in offering to transfer to Metro *the interstate highway funds and strongly challenged the remarks of Mr. Graham in connection therewith. He noted that Mr. Graham was doing an excellent job as an engineer in building the system. Mr. Moore stated that his remarks represented his o.-in views and that he was not speaking for any other person. Mr. Alexander opened discussion' concerning the Federal commitment to provide the major portion of the financing required to complete the 98 mile system. He stated that Metro was seeking federal contributions under the same formula by which systems in other cities are being funded; that the federal government Is contributing 8O~ of the funding for these other cities, and therefore should contribute 8O~ of the financing required for Metro. Other Board members supported the Chairman's statement. Mr. *Sickles stated that the adoption of the Compact, which provided for the regional system, depended from the very beginning on substantial federal financial support. -2- PAGENO="0411" 1093 BIMONTHLY REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING: Mr. Garrett referred the Board to furnished copies of Report No. 110 of the Office of Engineering, copy of which has been made a part of the official file. AUTHORIZATION TO ACQUIRE AND OPERATE SHIRLEY HIGHWAY BUS PROJECT FACI LITI ES: Mr. Alexander noted that the Resolution proposed on August 7 had been deferred at his request to examine further the long-term require- ments of the Backlick Road Metro property now being utilized as a fringe parking facility for the Shirley Highway Express Bus Project. Mr. Alexander moved adoption of the proposed Resolution by amending the last paragraph to delete the words "until such time as it shall be determined that such property is no longer required for the construction of the regional rail rapid transit system." The motion was seconded by Mr. White with discussion held relative to the costs of WMATA operating the parking facility and the process by which the property would be disposed in the future should it be determined excess property. The staff responded that operational costs would be minimal and that future disposition of the property should it be determined to be excess would be brought to the Board for approval, pursuant to established policy. Mr. White inquired if the bus miles incurred on the Shirley Highway Express service would be included in the cost allocation formula. Mr. Herman responded affirmatively. Mr. Alexander withdrew the amendment and moved adoption of the Resolution in its original form, which motion was seconded by Mr. White and unanimously passed, which Resolution reads as follows: WHEREAS, the Federally-assisted Shirley Highway Bus Project terminated on December 31, 19714; and WHEREAS, there is a demonstrated need for the continuation of such service; and WHEREAS, this Board on June 30, 19714, authorized the acquisition of the 90 buses being used in the Shirley Highway Project; and WHEREAS, it is considered to be in the best interests of the Authority to also acquire title to all other property, including but not limited to the bus maintenance facility, being used in the Shirley Highway Project; and WHEREAS, the U. S. Department of Transportation has informed the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission that: -3- PAGENO="0412" 1094 "The existing grant contract can be amended to release NVTC from its obligation to purchase or dispose of project equipment providing the equipment is retained for use in providing transportation service."; and WHEREAS, the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and WMATA entered into an agreement dated October 2, 1972, under which WMATA leased to NVTC for a five-year period the property located at Backlick Road in Fairfax County for use as a fringe parking facility; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the General Manager is hereby authorized to take such action and execute all necessary agreements to provide for the transfer to the Authority, at no cost, the 90 buses and other equipment and facilities used in the operation of the Shirley Highway Project; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Authority shall, effective as of January 1, 1975, continue to operate the service being rendered to the Shirley Highway corridor as a part of its area- wide Metrobus service; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Authority shall terminate, at no cost to Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, the lease for the real property at Backlick Road in Fairfax County, Virginia; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Authority shall operate effective as of January 1, 1975, at its cost, the fringe parking facilities at Backlick Road in Fairfax County until such time as it shall be determined that such property is no longer required for the construction of the regional rail rapid transit system.

AUTHORITY TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR RENOVATION OF METROBUS GARAGE FACILITY SOUTHEASTERN DIVISION (1Y3O8O): Mr. Dodge reported that action had been deferred on this recommenda- tion pursuant to the District of Columbia's request for more detailed information. Mr. Dodge reviewed the proposed rehabilitation program and scope of work for renovation of the facility. Mr. Moore reported that the District of Columbia had reviewed the proposal and was in agreement and moved approval of Procurement Action No. 2, Contract No. 1Y308O, to award the contract to Thomas E. Shroyer & Company. The motion was seconded by Mr. White and unanimously passed. -Li- PAGENO="0413" 1095 Ayes: 14 - Mr. Alexander, Mr. White, `Mr. Moore, and Mr. Christeller. AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH POTOMAC ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR PROVISION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY FOR METRORAIL ēMA-o143): Mr. Dodge noted that this item had been deferred on July 31 at the District of Columbia's request and deferred to Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore reported that the District had not resolved two remaining concerns--one relating to a thirty-year commitment and the second concern being advance monies for capital improvements. Mr. Moore requested another week's deferral for resolution. The Board agreed. BOARD CONSIDERATION OF STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON PROPOSED METROBUS ROUTE CHANGES TO INTERFACE WITH PHASE I OF METRORAIL OPERATIONS, DOCKET B75-5: Mr. Russell referred the Board to furnished copies of a proposed covering Resolution to the staff's August 6 recommendation on the June 214 public hearing No. 141 on Proposed Metrobus Route Changes to Interface with Phase I of Metrorail Operations, Docket No. B75-5 for changes in Metrobus Routes 82, 814, 86, 88, E-2, E-14, E-6, G-14, 87, 9, F-5, F-7, F-9, G-5, G-7, G-9, F-i, and F-14, as proposed in the hearing document.

The oilo~-;~ng is a specificatlon oF the cc .it:ating procedure and will ge'ior1 tredsoctions made Order this Agreement. 1. Upon receipt of a kRrtTP "Authority Project' identificetie:;, PEPCO~ S'.'-~tce' Plrn,iine Dope: eru't deterrathes the feeder circuits to ha usud in the associated `!Jti i~" Project.' This is done in two ports, with and without Technical Provisions, as stated in Section ill 2 of the i\rjre~c;y~c. 2. PEPCO's Transmission and Distribuiion System Engireering Depnrt-r.ent takes the System Planning plans end determines feasibility, working with System Planning to make adjustments if necessary. Once the plans are agreed to be feasible, cost estimates for the `outs~dc plant' portioesof the Utility Project are determined. "Outside Plant" is evcry~thing beyond the supply station feeder cable terminations. In making these estimates, T & D uses its standard unit cost estimating - books to apply costs to the physical units of conduit, cable, poles. wires, etc. dmtera,ir,ed necessary. Tine-cost escalation will be applied to reflect costs at times of actual ucrk by using indices derived free PSPCO's historical experience. 3. The T & D estimates are then passed to PEPCO's Civil and Substation Engineering Daparticant where cost estimates of the `inside plant" portion of the Uti i Ly Project are made in a similar manner. Civil and Substation Engineering then Forrards the complete Utility Projact estimate to the Suilding Sermfces Department where a proposal to `~DbtTA is prepared. 4. The formal proposal consists of a statement of the estimated costs with and without the Technical Provisions, with the difference being identified as the `Estimated Cost" of the Contribution in Aid cf Construction; a series of engineering andconstruction cost "5' curves; - and a schedule of monthly payments to be made by lkL~TA to PEPCO. 5. After the iJtilit~ Project is ccuoieted in the field, actual coats will be determined in accordance with standard PEPCO accounting practices. Once the actual cost of the Utility Project is known it will be divided by the estimated cost of Utility Frojact for service in accordance with the Technical Provisions, as found in the formal proposal, and the resulting quotient will be multiplied by tile estimated cost of Utility Project for ser'iice without the Technical Previsions. The revised estimate d~~ivad from tillS mol Liplicetion ;-!il I be used as tile "Estimated Cost" for cco;p~rieg with the `Actual Cost" in determining the "Actual Cost" of Contributions in Aid of Construction.

Each traction power substation shall be supplied from a single PEPCO -substation by two (2) feeder circuits with no other customers cbnnected to the circuits. Each circuit shall be capable of carrying the entire load at each traction power substation. The circuits shall be separated at the PEPCO substation by a minimum of two (2) station bus tie circuit breakers where possible. Unless otherwise mutually agreed adjacent traction power substations shall not be supplied fron the same PEPCO - substation. - - - The provisions of meters, delivery points, voltages, loads and operational dates, etc., -shall be as specified in Aependix D unless otherwise mutually agreed. - II. The maximum calculated short circuit duty at the traction power substation shall not exceed 750 MVA with the traction power station bus tie closed and the minimum calculated short circuit duty should not be less than approximately 250 MVA with the traction power station bus tie open. The minimum duty (250 UVA) shall be based on the loss of the largest transformer at the PEPCO supply substation. III. Passenger stations, yards, shops shall be fed from PEPCO's nearest available cor~ercisl feeder in accordance with Appendix D, except as otherwise mutually agreed. - IV. The various classes of service that may be provided to permanent HETRO facilities will have characteristics as follows, unless otherwise mutually agreed. - Class of Service Characteristics 13 KV - Unregulated 13 KV nominal, three phase, three wire, - - - 60 Hz alternsting current. Allowable short tern v~ltage regulation is ±5% around a nominal value. - The nominal value will fall between 14437 and 13063 with changes of nominal value limited to two or less - per year for traction power and between 14437 and 12420 for other uses: - 265/460 volt * Regulated 265/460 volt nominal, three phase, four wire, 60 Hz alternating current.

This -is done in two parts, with * end without Technical Provisions, as stated in Section 111 2 of the Agreerseit: 2. PE~CO's Transmission and Distribution System Engiree~'ing Depar~eent takes the System Planning plans and determines feasibility, working with System Planning to make adjustments if necessary. Once the plans * are agreed to be feasible, cost estimates for the "outside plant" portior.s.of the Utility Project are determined. `Outside Plant" is everything beyond the supply station feeder cable terminations. * In making these estimates, I & D uses its standard unit cost estimating -. books to apply costs to the ph~'sical units of conduit, cable, poles, wires, etc. determined necessary. Time-cost escalation will be applied to reflect costs at times of actual work by using indices derived from PEPCO's historical experience. - - . - * 3. The T- & D estimates are then passed to PEPCO's Civil and-Substation Engineering Department where cast estimates of the "inside plant" portion of the Utility Project are made in a similar manner. - Civil and Substation Engineering then forwards the complete Utility Project estimate to the Building Seretces Department where a proposal to W~ATA is prepared. . - - 4. The formal proposal consists of a statement of the estimated costs - - with and without the Technical Provisions, with the difference being - identified as the "Estimated Cost" of the Contributioh in Aid of . - * Construction; a series of engineering and construction cost "S" curves; - and a schedule of monthly payments to be made by W~4ATA to PEPCO. * 5. After the Utiiit~' Project is cemoleted in the field, actual costs `~;ill be determined in accordance with standard PEPCO accounting practices. Once - the actual cost of the Utility Project is known it will be divided by the estimated cost of Utility Frojact for service in accorda;ice with the * * Technical Provisions, as found in the formal proposal, and the resulting * quotient will be multiplied by the estimated cost of Utility Project for service without the Technical Prcvisicns. The revised esti;eate derived free this multiplication will be used as the "Estimated Cost" for cosip~ring with the `Actual Cost" in determining the "Actual Cost" of Contributions in Aid of Construction.

Present were: Di rectors Staff Others u~Jj metro PAGENO="0484" 1166 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Minutes of June 6, 1974 were approved as submitted. REPORT BY GENERAL MANAGER: Mr. Graham reported that Metrobus public hearings 25 and 26 were held as scheduled June 10 regarding Montgomery County Project Trip, and June 12 concerning route changes for Kennedy and Nicholson Streets. Mr. Graham referred the Board to furnished copies of his June 13 reply to Senator Frank E. Moss concerning the status of the petroleum supply situation affecting the supply and costs for Metrobus operations. Discussion followed wherein Mr. Harris requested that a Resolution be prepared for Board adoption on June 20 requesting (1) the Department of Justice investigate the supplying of fuel for Metrobus operations and the possibility of restraints in trade with respect thereto; (2) the Federal Energy Office be advised as to the effect of the programs which have been oper- ating, and requested to develop a program to return competition to this field, especially with regard to public operations; and (3) Congress be asked to consider legislation to regulate the petroleum industry as a utility. Mr. Graham reported that Mr. Robertie would work with Mr. Harris in preparing the Resolution to be presented June 20. Mr. Graham called on Mr. Dodge who referred the Board to furnished copies of a tabulation covering the opening of bids June 12 on Section K-3. REPORT BY WSTC, NVTC AND D.C.: Mrs. .Garrott inquired as to the status of Mr. Neal Potters request as presented June 6 concerning construction of a second temporary pedestrian bridge in the vicinity of Juniper Street. Mr. Dodge reported that the contractor had been contacted and it was believed the staff could negotiate a cost estimate of $35,000-$k0,000 for the temporary structure. -2- PAGENO="0485" 1167 Discussion was held as to whether this would be an add-on cost or a system cost. Mr. Dodge noted that final determination of financial responsibility in the changes requested by Montgomery County was yet to be made, and that the temporary facility could be constructed and be considered in the overall negotiations with Montgomery County concerning the replacement of the planned vehicular bridge with a permanent pedestrian bridge. Following discussion Mr. Barnett moved, seconded by Mr. White, that the construction of a second temporary bridge in the area of Juniper Street be approved with the question of financing to be taken up along with other changes requested by Montgomery County, as noted above. Ayes: 6 - Mr. Barnett, Mr. Moore, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Robinson, Mr. White and Mr. Beatley. Noes: None. Mr. Alexander reported that the Dial-a-Ride service in Fair- fax City was going very well and that a staff report would be available at a subsequent date covering the service. Mr. Moore made inquiries concerning new Metrobuseshe had observed broken down, and older Metrobuses with nonfunctioning air conditioning. Mr. Graham requested that Mr. Moore provide the staff with the bus numbers which he had recorded so the staff could make specific checks on the equipment, and referred Mr. Moore to the June 5 memorandum which had been the subject of discussion at the Board meeting on June 6 covering air conditioning deficiencies and other problems. Mr. Moore also requested that the staff provide him back- ground information concerning a report he had *received of discriminatory firing of black employees by a Metro construction contractor. Mr. Dowdy reported that this information would be available following the meeting and would be provided to all Board members. -3- PAGENO="0486" 1168 APPROVAL OF FY 1975 BUDGETS: Mr. Barnett presented the Board's Budget Committee report and reviewed the committee's findings and recommendations con- cerning the FY 1975 Budgets for Metro Management, Metrobus Operations, Metrorai 1 Operations, Metrobus Capital and Metrorai 1 Capital. Following discussion, at the request of the District of Columbia, final action was deferred to June 20. BOARD CONSIDERATION OF TAKOMA SITE PL~~N: This item was deferred to June 20. BOARD CONSIDERATiON OF STAFF. REPORT ON METROBUS PUBLIC HEARINGS NOS. 18-24, DOCKET 74-14, PHASE III PLAN AND PROGRAM: Mr. Russell noted that the staff recommendation had been presented on May 30 and that the Board had requested a two week deferral to allow further local review of the staff report on the Phase III Plan and Program. Mr. Russell reported that changes had been requested as result of the jurisdictional review and that those changes had been incor- porated and were being recommended for adoption. Mr. Russell referred the Board to furnished copies of a pro- posed Resolution which, if adopted, would approve the recommendation. Mr. Barnett reported that the Montgomery County Council and Planning Board had requested WMATA to take recognition of discrimina- tory fares in Montgomery County and take measures to establish equity in fares with the other jurisdictions. Mr. Russell reported that in order to change the structure the ring zone fare system would have to be revised through the public hearing process. Mr. Barnett requested that Mr. Kennedy address the situation from a legal standpoint and that the staff present a proposal on June 20 with regard to the fare discrimination. STATUS REPORT ON NEGOTIATIONS WITH WMATA AND PEPCO: Mr. Garrett gave a detailed summary of actions and negotia- tions with PEPCO concerning Authority electrical needs for Phase I Metro operations, involving voltage regulation, cash advances and rate schedule. -14- PAGENO="0487" 1169 Mr. Garrett reported that it was the opinion of the staff, as result of recent meetings with PEPCO, that the rates for power could be successfully negotiated and that it would not be neces- sary to invoke the jurisdiction of the D.C.

Delmer Ison, Secretary -6- PAGENO="0489" 1171 STATUS REPORT , / TALKING PAPER 4~7 WMATA-PEPCO NEGOT 1 AT I ONS On February 7, 1973 a proposed new e1ectric~:service agreement was sent to the Potomac Electric Power (PEPCO). In March 1973 the Authority opened discus- sions with PEPCO concerning the sale of electric energy to Metro. After an exchange of communications, a meeting followed at which WMATA's proposed agree' ment and PEPēO's proposed agreement were discussed. PEPCO at that time requested that negotiations be postponed since its staff was involved in hearings for an electric rate increase before theConimissiors in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Contact was re-established on November 23, 1973 when a revised WHATA proposed agreement was sent to PEPCO, and a meeting date of December 5, 1973 was set. PEPCO again requested a delay of negotiations since their staff was heavily involved with the energy crisis. Afterr contacting PEPCO in early January 19711, a meeting date of January 21, 1971i ~ias set The items relating to the Metro procurement of electric services that were - agreed upon at this meeting include 1. General responsibility of the Authority for public transportation and PEPCO's responsibility concerning the sale and delivery of electrical energy. 2. Definitions. 3. Examination of records concerning the sale of electrical energy to the Authority. 4. Conflict of interest terms 5. Equal opportunity terms. -~ 6. Disputes. PAGENO="0490" 1172 S 7. Term of Agreement 8. Responsibility as a result of an Act of God The unresolved items were: 1. Voltage Regulations: WMATA purchased power transformers for its Phase 1" operations based on PEPCO's recommendations received in a letter dated January 23, 1970. PEPCO stated that these transformers were not suitable because the voltage rating and transformer tap settings did not S conform to PEPCO's system voltages and voltage regulations. PEPCO's present position was not in accord with their recommendations. The Phase- I" electric power transformers as installed were designed for normal operation within the range of 13110 to 11+1+90 volts. This is a normal voltage of 13800 volts with taps at ±5 percent. A letter from PEPCO's Legal Counsel, Jack E. McGregor, dated February 11, 1971+ stated that PEPCO's voltage regulation was established at 13200 volts + 7.5 percent. The actual voltages of their system, therefore, could range from 12210 volts to 11+190 volts. S Further, PEPCO implied at the January 21, 1971+ meeting that the normal voltage of 13200 volts could be further reduced as an energy saving requirement to a normal voltage of 12540. This would mean that the operating voltage could range from 11600 to 13480 with taps at + 7.5 * percent. A letter from PEPCO's Legal Counsel, Edward A. Caine to John R. Kennedy dated May 16, 1974 referred to a PEPCO voltage regulation of ÷ 10 percent. -2- PAGENO="0491" 1173 The voltage of their system could, therefore, range from 11880 volts to l~520 volts. In order to clarify the voltage regulation problem, PEPCO has been requested to provide nameplate data relevant to the transformers that PEPCO is currently purchasing and what data is PEPCO furnishing to other users of 13KV for customer purchase as required for compatibility with the PEPCO system. WMATA position was that PEPCO dhould be required to replace \IMATA's existing ~ransformers, if necessary, to make them acceptable to PEPCO. WMATA would purchase future power transformers at whatever standard voltage and regulation PEPCO requires for future phases. 2. Cash Advances: In a letter of intent executed July 7, 1972 by PEPCO's Director of Consumer Services, the basic understanding covering service connection to Metro facilities was established. The letter of intent provided for "cash advances" from WMATA to PEPCO at eppropriate inter- vals as the work by PEPCO progressed. WHATA's final obligations and liability with regard to compensation would be subject to negotiation and refunds were to be made in cases of overpayment. PEPCO proposed to consider cash advances as non-negotiable, non-refundable, "Contributions. in Aid of Construction". Ongoing construction of the Metro System must be continued for Phases II, Ia, Ill, IV, V and VI. However, before cash advances are made for these phases, we must have a clear under- standing that all cash advances are to be subject to final negotiation. -3-- PAGENO="0492" 1174 3. Metro Rate Schedule: With respect to a rate schedule, it is the Authority's position that all purchases of electric energy are merely ancillary to its responsibility to provide a rapid rail transit system. Therefore, a single rate scbedule should be developed for rapid rail transit facilities with incorporation therein of all of the Authority's rapid rail transit system electric service requirements. PEPCO planned to develop a rate only for the propulsion power portion of Metro with presently published rates applying to the passenger stations, chiller plants, and repair shops. WMATA's position is that the Federal Power Commission's Account 41~6, "Sales to Railroads and Railways", is appli- cable to the rapid rail transit system and that necessary tariff rules and regulations should be developed by WMATA and PEPCO for filing with the Commissions. This account includes the billing for electricity supplied to railroads and interurban and street railways for general railroad use including the propulsion of cars or locomotives. WMATA is expected to consume approximately 1,506 million kilowatt hours- per year when the entire system is completed in 1980, as served by PEPCO, VEPCO and BG&E. Metro will consume approximately 1,205 million kilowatt hours or 80.01 percent of the total electrical energy from PEPCO, 277 million kilowatt hours or 18.39 percent from Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) and approximately 2~ million.kilowatt hours or 1.6 percent from Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E). PEPCO said that WMATA could not use their standard published rates for its traction power service and that rates would have to be developed -4- PAGENO="0493" 1175 PEPCO inferred that the traction power demand would warrant a higher KWHR rate than the now published rates for large power customers. Esti- mates as to how much PEPCO developed rates would cost is unavailable. WHATA and PEPCO agreed that they would meet on January 28, 197k and decide if an impasse had been reached. On the morning of JanLary 28, 197k PEPCO called WMATA to cancel the meeting saying that they had nothing further to discuss. A letter to PEPCO from WHATA signed by the General Manager dated February L~, 1974 requested that they begin serious negotiations and send a representative with the authority to act on their behalf. WMATA reaffirmed its previously stated posi- tion to PEPCO. On February 11, 1974, WMATA received a letter from PEPCO's General Counsel saying that the discussions had reached an impasse. A copy of the letter was sent by PEPCO to the Regulatory Commissions of the three jurisdictions. On March 19, 1971+ WMATA responded to PEPCO's letter of February 11, 1971+ with a copy to each of the Commissions (Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia). WMATA, in an effort to advance the negotiations, called PEPCO's Legal Counsel on April 22, 1974. We were informed that a letter was forthcoming from PEPCO by Friday, April 26, 1974. On April 30, 1971+, John Robertie suggested that WMA'FA go ahead with its plans to put the issue before the Public Service Commission. On May 16, 1974, WMATA received the promised letter from PEPCO's Legal Counsel in which PEPCO reaffirmed their original position. On May 30, 1974, the staff briefed the Board in Executive Session on the contents of this paper. The Board approved the general plans for requesting the Public Service Commission to arbitrate the apparent impasse, if necessary. On June 6, 1971+, PEPCO responded to WMATA attempts to meet with them by agreeing to meet on Friday, June 7, 1974. -5- PAGENO="0494" 1176 During this meeting, attended by Mr. Frank Walters, PEPCO's Vice President of Rates and Regulatory Practices, two of the three unresolved areas were agreed upon. 1. On the issue of voltage regulations - both parties agreed that the dif- ficulty in reaching an agreem~nt was a difference in the published rules and regulations and PEPCO's actual installation and operating practices of their system. Legally PEPCO's voltage regulation could range from 13.2KV + 7.5 percent in Marylai,d and 13.2KV ± 10 percent in the Distri&t of Columbia. Actually the voltage range would be 13.8Kv +5 percent in * Metro Phase I area of the District of Columbia. In practice, PEPCO is purchasing its transformers at 13.8Kv + 5 percent and all of PEPCO's customers are purchasing their transformers at 13.8KV + 5 percent in the same service area as Metro's Phase I. This fact makes it academic for PEPCO to have a voltage swing of 13.2KV + 10 percent. It was agreed that the Authority's transformers as procured for Phase I will be suit- able for operation on PEPCO's electrical system. 2. The misunderstanding with regard to cash advances was resolved by the parties agreeing that the "cash advances" were actually cash advances In aid of construction. It was further agreed that the total amount that the Authority would contribute would be based upon actual cost of the facilities to PEPCO less the estimated cost of the normal facilities as * agreed by the parties that would be at PEPCO's expense. The difference between the actual cost and the agreed PEPCO's cost of normal facilities would be paid by the Authority. The total amount of the Authority's advance payments would be adjusted either by a credit or by an-additional payment as the case may be so that the total payment would reflect the total cost that should be paid by the Authority. -6- PAGENO="0495" 1177 3. On the issue of a Metro rate PEPCO stated that they desired to charge Metro fair, reasonable, non-preferential and non-discriminatory rates. WHATA stated that it would seek the best possible rate for Metro. Both parties agreed that we would begin a series of meetings starting June 26, l971~ and would work together on the development of PEPCO's cost for providing service to ~4MATA. This would be the basis for the determina- tion of a rate that would be fair and equitable to WHATA and PEPCO without being unduly preferential or discriminatory with respect to the Utility's other customers. Conclusion and Recommendations In view of the progress made at this negotiating session with PEPCO, that is the resolution of two items of contention and the setting in motion a series of meetings for resolution of the third, we feel thatit will not be necessary at this time to proceed further with the Commission.

QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET Question 1. In their July report GAO found that the Authority underestimated their program for 1976 by $312 million. Please provide estimates of the FY 76 and EY 77 programs reconciling this amount. You may recall that the study of the FY 1976 program was initiated because neither the Administration nor Congress had acted upon the $4,454 million finan- cial plan and W~IATA was facing a $211 million shortfall in FY 76 funding. In May 1975 we advised Congressman Diggs that our total funding need was ~734 million, which included several unfunded FY 75 contracts which, because of rising escalation costs, had to be carried over. GAO's statement, "WTe concluded the cost estimate for projects planned in Fis- cal Year 1976 was understated by $312.9 million . . .~, is very misleading. The Com~tro1ler Generals letter to Congressman Mazzoli on this subject clearly shows the following: [In thoussnds[ . WMTA programed amount GAO amount Difference Fiscal year program Fiscal year 1975 carryover Startup costs Total ~584,857 149, 358 0 ~699,393 180, 413 18, 050 $114,536 31, 055 18, 060 734,215 897,856 163,651 When WMATA was first presented GAO's findings we pointed out a number of errors of fact. These errors of fact included: 1 WMATA is now working on a system of reporting which will provide this Information on a regular basis. PAGENO="0503" 1185 1. Miscalculations of design estimates by GAO. 2. Incorrect Section Designer estimates for structural aoid stage contracts. 3. Failure to account for inclusion of betterments, add-ons and handicapped facilities in the Section Designer estimates, all of which are funded 100% from other sources, and 4. Failure to recognize $28.5 million in contingencies which were included in the $734.2 million. At that meeting it was agreed that the staffs of WMA.TA and GAO would work together to resolve the errors of fact to their mutual satisfaction. Substantial progress was made when GAO suddenly ceased and reverted to their previous position. We feel that, had GAO corrected their errors of fact, the letter to Congressman Mazzoli would have read as follows: [In thousandsj WMATA programed Corrected amount GAO amount Difference Fiscal year 1976 program $584, 857 $637, 035 $52, 173 Fiscal year 1975 carryover 149,358 163,455 114,087 Start-up costs 0 18,060 18,060 Add-ons 1 0 (2, 190) (2, 190) Handicapped facilities 10 (14,682) (14,682) Total 734,215 801,678 67,463 I Separately funded.

Question 1. In their July Report, GAO found that the Authority under- estimated their program for 1076 by $312.0 million. Please provide estimates of the Fiscal Year 1976 and Fiscal Year 1977 programs reconciling their amount. Answer. The $312.9 million referred to in your question represents the dif- ference between the WMATA estimates for the Fiscal Year 1976 prograsn sub- mitted in May 1975 and the total GAO unadjusted amounts for the Fiscal Year 1975 carryover program, the Fiscal Year 1976 program and start up costs. Table 1 summarizes the difference. Detail sheets supporting Table 1 are attached. PAGENO="0504" 1186 TABLE I [Dollar amounts in thousands( WMATA programed Description amount GAO amount Difference Fiscal year 1976 program $584, 857 Fiscal year 1975 program Start-up costs $699, 393 iso, 413 18, 060 $114, 536 180, 413 18, 060 Total 584, 857 897, 866 313, 009 You may recall that the study of the Fiscal Year 1976 prograsn was initiated because neither the Administration nor Congress had acted upon the $4453.7 million financial plan and WMATA was facing a $211 million shortfall in FY 76 funding. In May 1975 we advised Congressman Diggs that our total funding need was $734 million, which included several unfunded FY 75 contracts which, because of rising escalation costs had to be carried over. If the GAO had followed the intent and main objective of the report vis-a-vis a funding need of approximately $734 million for work rather than conveying the impression that we had underestimated the work, the summary table would have appeared as follows: TABLE II (Dollar amounts in thousands( Description WMATA programed amount GAO amount Difference Fiscal year 1976 program Fiscal year 1975 carryover Start-up cost Total $584, 857 149,358 0 $699, 393 180,413 18, 060 $114, 536 31,055 18, 060 I 734, 215 1 897, 866 163, 651 I The detail sheet supporting table II is attached. Table II shows a difference of $163,651 w'hich represents the difference between GAO unadjusted figures and our programmed estimate, a difference that has never been accepted by the Authority. When WMATA was first presented GAO findings, a number of differences of opinion arose between our staff and the GAO. The principal differences included: (1) Miscalculation of design estimates by GAO. (2) Use of latest Section Designer estimates taken at face value which in many cases included amounts for betterments, jurisdictional add-ons and handi- capped facilities, all of which are funded by other sources. Also, many of these estimates have proven to be overstated as evidenced by recent bids opened by the Authority. At that meeting it was agreed that the staffs of WMATA and GAO would work together to mutually resolve the major differences. During the period of negotiations between WMATA staff and GAO, the dead- line to report back to your committee became critical and none of the differences were resolved when the letter from GAO to Congressman Mazzoli was for- warded. At a subsequent hearing on November 18, 1975 before your committee, several of the differences of opinion mainly the approval for calculatinz design estimates had been resolved. The major difference of opinion which is still not resolved is the use of unadjusted Section Designer estimates, and we are cur- rently at a standstill w-ith GAO concerning this matter. The "Current Amount" Column in the attached detail sheet reflects the latest updated estimates and bids received thru January. Since the Mazzoli letter, bids have been taken for Contracts 1B0066, 1G0031, 1F3012, 1F3011, 1GOO11, 100021, and 1LOO11. Cumulatively these bids are $35.4 million under the section designer estimates contained in the letter to Congressman Mazzoli. PAGENO="0505" 1187 If this trend continues during the next six months we firmly feel that we will have a legitimate case for not using the updated section designer estimates at face value without the benefit of detailed analysis.

Qvestion 2. In the Authority's August program control report, an increase in the total system cost of $139.9 million was reported. Please comment on the source of this increase. Was any part of the increase from contracts not yet obligated? Answer. The $139.9 million increase is basically two categories. $34.6 million is to complete work already obligated and $105.3 million is for contracts not yet obligated. Question 3. What changes were made In the contracts programmed for FY 77 and FY 78 since the Airlie meeting of November 1974 and what were the reasons for these changes? Answer. The Vienna Route from K-4b on outward has been deferred approxi- mately 18 months due to the I-GO controversy. The Springfield contract 3-3 has been realigned to the Franconia line as H-2 and redesign is underway. The final design of the Branch Route from F-4 on outward and the Greenbelt Route from E-4 on out are deferred. Studies are presently being made on these two route alignments. Question ~. Explain how the revenue bonds were issued, how the Interest Is paid and who is liable for the debt service. The Authority has sold 5 revenue bond issues with a total value of $997 million. Four issues, with a value of $820 million were sold through a competitive bid- ding process during the period October 1972 until April 1074. All four Issues were PAGENO="0506" 1188 purchased by an underwriting syndicate headed by Merril Lynch Government Securities, Goldman Sachs Company, Salomon Brothers Trust Company. All issues had at least two bidding syndicates competing, and on two occasions there were three. Bidding on all four issues was extremely competitive.

The fifth issue, totaling $177 million was sold to the Federal Financing Brtnk, an agency of the U.S. Treasury, at a negotiated rate of 8.35% in March, 1975. There are no securities of this issue on the public market. It is held exclusively by the U.S. Treasury. Interest is paid on all public issues, Series A through D, on January 1, and July 1, of each year through the Federal Reserve Bank of Xew- York, the fiscal agent of the Authority. Interest on Series E, the issue sold to the Federal Financing Bank, is payable on the same dates. This payment is sent directly to the U.S. Treasury. Debt service on all revenue bond issues is the primary obligation of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. All issues have been guar- anteed by the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to Public Law 92-349, approved July 13, 1972. Question 5. Are add-ons and facilities for the handicapped included in the $4651 billion estimate? Provide a breakout of these amounts. Answer. No, these items are not included in the $4651 billion. Estimates of these items are as follows: 3f11110n8 1. Facilities for the handicapped ($52 million Federal and $13 million local $65. 0 2.

Please reconcile the figures contained in statement #16 of the August and September 1975 Comptroller's Reports. Answer. The item in Statement #16 of the August and September 1975 Comp- troller's reports which may cause an apparent misunderstanding is the line "Available for Obligation and Commitment". The September amount for this item is one total of $151.2 million, but includes funds restricted for handicapped facilities, 80% Federal-20% local match funds and for purchase of real estate. The amount indicated in the August report under the same caption does not include these items-rather they are called out separately. Accordinglo-, all of these items must be added together to determine the total amount of funds available for obligation and commitment in the August report as follows: Funds restricted: Millions Handicapped $26.3 80-20 match 60. 4 Real estate 8. 0 Available for obligation and commitment (all other) 30.7 Total available for obligation and commitment 125. 4 PAGENO="0507" 1189 Reconciliation of the amounts, therefore, Is as follows: Million8 Available for obligation and commitment (August report) $125. 4 Capital funds received (September 1975) 297. 8 Total available (September 1975) 423.2 Funds obligated and committed during September 1975 272. 0 A~vailable for obligation and commitment (September report) 151. 2 Question 7. Please explain why the amount for FY 1979 and beyond in the METRO Capital Budget (Office of Budget November 10, 1975 Revision No. 2) has been reduced from the Airlie Program. Answer. The Airlie Program was $246.6 million for FY 1979 and beyond re- lated to the $4,454 million program presented at that time. The total program has been revised upward to $4,650 million. The requirements for FY 1979 and beyond were consequently increased to $424.9 million. The comparison between the Airlie Program and the present program is as follows: [In thousands of dollarsj Present Airlie approved program program Fiscal year: 1973 and prior 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 and beyond Total $1,460,800 470,300 410,300 585,000 645,000 645,000 246,600 $1,460,800 470,300 307,700 697,000 645,000 645,000 424,900 4,454,000 4,650,700 1 Round-off (actual amount was $4,453,700,000). The increase from the $4,454 million to the $4,650.7 million program-$196.7 million is reflected in major part in the present program line for FY 1979 and beyond. Under the $4,454 million program this line was $228.2 to which the $196.7 million is added to bring the line total to the $424.9 million level. Question 8. Please explain the dc-programming of $94 million from FY 1975 in the Metro capital budget summmary. Answer. In discussions with staff of 0MB, DOT, and UMTA, it was agreed that the Authority's internally generated funds comprised of interest generated from investment of non-Federal monies, are eligible for matching Federal grants. Through fiscal 1975, an amount in excess of $100.0 million in internally generated funds had been provided for the capital program but not as a match to any Fed- eral grants. An analysis of the program indicated items which had not been obligated totaling approximately $94.0 million could be deferred or eliminated altogether which would free up this amount in internally generated funds for matching purposes of direct Federal grants on a %_1/3 basis and UMTA grants on an 80%-20% basis. Accordingly, this was done to provide $34.0 million in matching funds on a %_1/3 basis for the $68.0 million Federal grant in fiscal 1976 and $60.0 million in snatching funds on an 80%-20% basis for UMTA grants made with the substituted interstate highway funds. Question 9. Please provide a reconciliation of the Metro Office of Budget Novem- ber 10, 1975 Revision 2 Capital Budget Summary and statements 15 of the September Comptroller's report. Answer. The Capital Budget Summary of the Office of Budget shows a pro- gram through 1975 of $2,238.8 billion while statement #15 of Comptroller's report shows a total of years programs prior to 1976 of $2,292.6.

Please explain why the Transition Quarter funding of $26.7 million was included in FY 1978 instead of FY 1977? Answer. The fiscal years indicated on the Metrorail Capital Summary are those of the Authority. In the Authority's fiscal 1977, Transition Quarter funding of $26.7 million and Federal fiscal year 1977 funding of $90.0 million will be avail- able. However, the Authority will obligate only $90.0 during its fiscal 1977 leaving $26.7 to be applied to its FY 1978 program. Since these Federal funds are avail- able until expended, it makes no difference which period the funds are designated from. Indicating the funding from the Transition Quarter was thought to be more readily identifiable. Question 11. To date, only $286.6 million of the $476.0 million in "highway fund transfer" have been transferred to the Authority. Provided l)reakdown of funds to be transferred and those already transferred.

During its fiscal year 1977, the Authority will utilize the $26.7 million Federal appropriation made for the transI- tion period plus $63,359,000 of the $90,059,000 Federal grant appropriated for the Federal fiscal year 1977. Matched on a two-thirds Federal/one- third local cost-sharing basis, local grants of $45.0 million will provide funding of $135.0 for the 1977 program. An additional amount of $510 million is required from sources yet to be determined, Including funds available through transfer of interstate highway funds. The Fiscal 1978 Capital Construction Program is currently planned at a $645 million level which includes the $15,421,799 in Federal funds contained in this budget request as the Federal grant. Appropriation of this amount will complete the appropriation of the total Federal authorized grants for the rail rapid transit system of $1,147,044,000 enabled by the National Capital Transportation Act of 1969. This $15.4. million coupled with $26.7 million remaining from the Federal fiscal year 1977 appropriation will provide a total Federal grant of $42.1 million for the Authority's Fiscal 1978 construction program. With local match- ing grants of $20.9 million, total available funding for 1978 will amount to $63.0 million leaving that part of the program to be funded from sources yet to be determined In the amount of $582 million.

PAGENO="0513" 1195 3:30 p.m. January 30, 1976 Revised February L~, 1976 AIRLIE WORKSHOP XII Sununary Of Financial Impact On Jurisdictions-Five Year Program Problems Bearing On A Supplemental Financial Plan The proceedings of the last two days provides us with the facts to understand the causes and the magni- tude of the changes which have occurred in the financial posture of the Metro project since the initial plan for financing was adopted in 1969. That plan was designed to finance only rail construction and operations since it was the contemplated that the bus service would con- tinue to be provided by the private carriers. The capi- tal costs for acquisition of the private bus companies, the upgrading and expansion of the bus fleet and related facilities and the Metrobus operation have been super- imposed on the original financial plan. Moreover, the original plan has been eroded by unprecedented and un- PAGENO="0514" 1196 expected inflation which has been compounded by delays from a variety of causes. It was recognized from the outset of the transit project that as the development of the system progressed, supplemental financing arrangements would be required. This is an inevitable consequence of the fact that the project is to be constructed over a decade, that initial cost estimates necessarily are based on preliminary en- gineering data and that estimates of operating costs necessarily had to anticipate future conditions some years ahead. The Capital Contributions and Guaranty Agreement, which implements the Financial Plan and Pro- gram adopted November 1969, recognized `that definitive net project costs for the transit system will not be determined until the transit system is completed and that, accordingly, Capital Contributions provided for herein are based on estimates." In order to assure the availability of necessary funds the Capital Contributions Agreement provides for recomputation and re-allocation of costs among Political Subdivisions five years after the start of construction and from time to time thereafter at least at two-year intervals. The prescience which foresaw the need for rolling adjustments could not fore- -2- PAGENO="0515" 1197 tell the magnitude of those changes brought on by the unanticipated and dramatic changes in the general eco- nomic conditions. Costs To Be Financed Formulation of a supplemental financing plan must be undertaken in the context of the costs which are to be financed. These include capital costs for completion of the rail system, including facilities for the handi- capped, expenditures to pay for operations and debt ser- vice on $997 million of WMATA's revenue funds. For pur- poses of this discussion it is assumed that both capital and operating costs are to be shared on an 80-20 federal- local basis. Based on the data presented at this meet- ing, the local obligations for Capital Contributions during the five-year period 1976-1980, inclusive, aggre- gates $317.4 million, reflecting estimated net project costs of Metrorail at approximately $4.6 billion. The breakdown by jurisdiction of each element of the capital costs for the five-year period is shown as follows: -3- PAGENO="0516" 1198 ~ ~ ~i ~1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~c1~ ~ J ~ TI !~il !~Iil !~1iI ~I1E~ !~HI ~ PAGENO="0517" 1199 Based on the data' which has been presented, the share of each jurisdiction for operating and debt ser- vice payments on WMP~TA revenue bonds for each year 1976- 1980, inclusive, on the alternative assumptions that 1) fares will remain constant or 2) fares will be increased for the years 1978, 1979 and 1980 to reflect cost of living adjustments, is presented in the following tables.

In order to determine the total annual burden on each jurisdiction, the annual cost for interest and cur- tail on the bonds issued to meet the capital grant obli- gations must be taken into account. No such figure, however, can be developed which would be accurate for each jurisdiction due to differences among the jurisdic- tions with respect to the term of bonds and repayment provisions. We can, however, establish rough area of magnitude figures by assuming a 20-year term at an ef- fective interest rate of 6% with a level annual curtail. These assumptions would produce an average annual expen- diture for curtail and interest of approximately $8,600 per million of bonds. Using this figure as a factor, the average annual repayment costs for the $317.4 million, representing the aggregate of the capital contributions to be made by all of the local jurisdictions under the 80-20 plan, would be approximately $27.2 million. As in- dicated in the first table, above, the total bonds to be -8- PAGENO="0521" 1203 issued for capital contributions is approximately $110 million for the District of Columbia1 $100 million for the NVTC jurisdictions and $106 million for the WSTC jurisdictions, resulting in average annual expenditures for debt for each of these jurisdictions in the range of $9-$lO million for years after 1980 when all the bonds are outstanding. Since these costs for capital contributions are for years after 1980 when all the bonds required to finance the capital contributions have been issued whereas the annual expenditures for operations and WMZ~TA debt ser- vice, as shown in the table first presented, above, are for years ending 1980, combining the two sets of figures results in an overstatement of the estimated annual pay- ments for the 1976-1980 period. Keeping this in mind, the combined figures produce the following range of annual costs, depending on the assumption made for fare levels: District of Columbia $31.3 million to $48.4 mil- lion; NVTC $23.3 million to $38.3 million; and WSTC $15.7 million to $29.9 million. Possible Revenue Sources In view of the general concern these days about in- creases in the level of taxes on real estate, this paper -9- PAGENO="0522" I 1204 focuses on non-property taxes as a source of revenues to fund the supplemental financing plan. This does not preclude the possibility that an equitable supplemental financing plan may reflect a mix of property and non- property taxes. Our purpose here, rather, is to explore in a general way the feasibility of utilizing non-pro- perty taxes to support the estimated additional costs of the transit project in whole or in part. There are a variety of non-property taxes which may be considered. Some are rather traditional excise taxes, such as sales, gasoline, auto titling, auto licenses, tobacco, alcohol, utility and amusement taxes. A piggy- back on State income taxes or a payroll tax may be de- vised. Possibilities in this category are a tax levied on the privilege of driving a car to work anywhere with- in the Transit Zone or a parking tax levied in each Political Subdivision. The selected tax, or combination of taxes, must not only have the necessary revenue potential but efficiency and economy in tax collection and administration strongly suggests that the existing tax infrastructure be utilized. Another possibility is to put designated public ser- vices on a profit-making basis and to use the profits to - 10 - PAGENO="0523" 1205 support the transit service which, as a matter of policy, is not to be operated on a self-sufficient basis. The Port of New York Authority is an example of this type of financing arrangement. That Authority operates toll tunnels, bridges, airports, docks, the World Trade Cen- ter and the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad which provides trans-Hudson service between Manhattan, Jersey City and Newark. Although such a wide range of facilities are not available here, the airports, sewer and water, and appropriate real estate development of Metro property may be considered. The fact must not be overlooked that tte rail tran- sit system may well have significant, if not dramatic, impact on the value of real estate, particularly in the vicinity of stations. Since these values are created by the transit project, it may be considered appropriate to tax the favorably affected properties so that the tran- sit project can share the windfall gains with the pro- perty owners. The tax could be deferred until sale or the rate of the annual tax on such properties could be increased. Either method could be implemented by creat- ing transit development districts. Last, but perhaps not the least, is a lottery for - 11 - PAGENO="0524" 1206 transit. I understand that all, or a portion, of the revenues from the Illinois lottery are earmarked for transit in Chicago. A lottery could be devised which would minimize the competitive aspects with the State- wide Maryland lottery and could be designed with a speci- fic orientation to the promotion of transit. It is beyond the scope of this paper to analyze in detail the various non-property taxes levied by each of the component governements in the Transit Zone and to determine the potential of each such tax to produce meaningful additional revenues. For background purposes, however, there is set forth below a table. showing tax rates on selected State and local taxes in-the Metropoli- tan area. - 12 - PAGENO="0525" SELECTFJ) STATE AND LOCAL ES ill Tilt ~ 1914 Salea and Dun C&nerai Kate Cro~i.i [cx ioteltu. !iot~1~ lndivids*l lacuna t:,e1ucat ion lacuna her (per band) SpiiILC (par g~lion) Wex (per geUc) Li11t tic 1v7 Cigretnea .~L/ (per pack) lilac Vehicle Excise t~asx1iiie (per gallon) AZ AZ 3. 02-7. 52 7' $2.19 $1.50 $1.50 $(.ibiiCti Cuparlanof Ua~orSate a cc a in SalccLt4 Wa hi~ ct r2p~l ~ Juri.idicLlo~/D.C.

There has not been, however, any clear delineation of how such tax would be administered. Several possible administrative arrangements are com- pounded within the concept of a regional tax. The tax could be regional in the sense that one or more specified types of excise taxes would be ear-marked for transit and would be separately levied by each of the component gov- erriments embraced within the Transit Zone, or by NVTC and WSTC, and the revenues generated by such tax or taxes would be available only for financing the activi- ties of WMATA, the regional transit agency. The other principal alternative is that the responsibility for administering the tax would be delegated to a regional agency, such as WMATA, or to a specially created regional agency. The centralization of the taxing powers in a regional agency, of course, would require cooperative action by Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Congress through the device of an interstate compact --either as an amendment to the existing Compact or the enactment of a separate compact. - 15 - PAGENO="0528" 1210 Consideration of the regional tax concept involves political, practical and legal problems. This paper, however, is limited to the practical and legal aspects, an understanding of which should facilitate cons idera- tion of the political problems inherent in the concept of a regional tax. A principal advantage of delegating the taxing power to the Political Subdivisions or to the sub- regional agencies is that an excise tax ear-marked for trans it would provide a separate source for funding transit operations and, thereby, preserve the traditional taxes for services historically supported by general re- venues. Lodging the power to levy the transit tax at the Local Government level would not, however, eliminate the complexities inherent in the present arrangement for cooperative funding of deficits by the Political Subdi- visions. The continuation of this arrangement would re- quire each Political Subdivision to enter into an agree- ment with WMATA for the annual purchase of services. Even though such agreements would be funded by the ear- marked transit tax, the obligations would be subject annually to the budget and appropriation processes of each participating Government and to the uncertainties - 16 - PAGENO="0529" 1211 arising from such procedures upon the development and implementation of long-range programs which are essen- tial to effective transit service. Moreover, such pay- ments would be considered debt, particularly under Vir- ginia law, unless the purchase was made on an annual basis, subject to cancellation by the Political Subdivi- sion at the end of any year. The grant to WMATA of the power to levy a transit tax on a regional basis would be equally effective in providing the necessary revenues to supplement the farebox and would avoid the unfavorable features inhe- rent in the local tax approach. Thus, this arrangement would eliminate the need for the execution of purchase of service agreements, would remove the transit obliga- tion from the budget and tax structures of each of the Political Subdivisions and, thereby, would avoid any fiscal impact on the Political Subdivisions arising from the transit project. The grant to WMATA of power to levy a regional tax would be consistent with the basic concept of the Com- pact to create an entity with power co-extensive within the Transit Zone to provide transit facilities and ser- vice and would achieve the essential centralization of - 17 - 62-418 0 - 76 - pt.2 - 34 PAGENO="0530" 1212 the responsibility for determining the service and fare levels with the capacity and ability to carry out policy decisions on these matters. This arrangement would es- tablish a self-sufficient regional framework for provid- ing transit service and would provide the most effective and efficient means of responding to and meeting transit needs of the public. The levy of such a tax by WMATA, however, presents novel legal and constitutional issues. A detailed dis- cussion of these issues is presented in the Appendix attached to this Memorandum. For our immediate purpose, a summary statem~nt of the situation will suffice. There are no constitutional inhibitions in any of the jurisdictions to the levy of an excise tax by the Political Subdivisions. In Virginia, however, authori- zation would be required by the General Assembly and in Maryland such authorization may be required for the levy by Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties, depend- ing on the specific tax to be utilized. In Maryland, there appears to be no problems of substantive law prohibiting the delegation to WSTC of the power to levy non-property taxes. The situation with respect to NVTC is not a clear-cut. Although there - 18 - PAGENO="0531" 1213 are substantial grounds for concluding that NVTC is an eligible entity to levy a non-property tax, test litiga- tion would be necessary to resolve the uncertainties. The delegation to WMATA of the power to levy a non- property tax throughout the Transit Zone would require legislative authorization by each of the Signatories. It is to be recognized that delegation of a taxing power to an interstate compact agency would present a question of first impression. There does not appear to be any express prohibitions against the arrangement in either the Virgin±a or Maryland Constitutions and the judicial evaluation likely would reflect the general attitude of the Courts on the appropriate limits of State power in dealing with urban problems in interstate areas. As set forth in the more extensive discussion in the Appendix, the revised Constitution of Virginia gives explicit re- cognition to the problem of financing interstate regional projects and empowers the General Assembly to authorize any unit of government to participate with any other unit of government within or without the Commonwealth in f i- nancing the exercise of any of its powers or functions (Article VII, Section 3). It is, therefore, not to be concluded that such an arrangement is constitutionally - 19 - PAGENO="0532" 1214 precluded but only that the novelty of the issue requires a judicial test to determine its legality. Legalisms aside, the principal objection to be overcome is the reluctance to delegate an unfettered taxing power to a non-elected body. This suggests the possibility of the creation of an interstate taxing dis- trict, governed by a board to be elected on a regional basis. There are devices which may be utilized to miti- gate this problem. One such device is a certification of debt arrangement. Under such an arrangement, WMATA would not levy the tax but would certify annually to each Political Subdivision the funds required and the tax would be levied by each Political Subdivision. Such an arrangement is provided for in Section 14 of the Washington Suburban Transit District Act. In Maryland, the power to certify debt is tantamount to the power to tax. Although debt certification apparently has not been judicially construed in Virginia, it is to be observed that this technique is utilized in the Virginia Area Development Act (Code of Virginia, Title 15.1, §15.1- 1420). Conclus ion In view of the changes which have occurred since - 20 - PAGENO="0533" 1215 the transit project was initially authorized, it is clear that a larger revenue base than is presently available will be required to complete and operate the rail-bus system. The purpose of this paper is to direct attention to the utilization of an ear-marked excise itax as a supplemental base of revenue. If this approach is politically acceptable, then in-depth consideration promptly should be given to the tax to be utilized and to the legal and practical problems in determining the entity to levy the tax. - 21 - PAGENO="0534" 1216 APPENDIX Constitutional And Legal Aspects Of Transit Tax The legal issue involved in the utilization of a tax for transit will vary depending upon whether the power to levy the. tax is delegated to the Political Sub- divisions, NVTC and WSTC or WNATA. Each of the alterna- tives present somewhat different legal considerations in each of the Signatories. Each alternative, therefore, has been analyzed under the laws of each Signatory and a condensed summary of that analysis follows. The analysis has been directed primarily to the utilization of non-property rather than property taxes and this limitation reflects legal considerations, as well as the general concern over increasing assessments and levies on real estate. Property is subject to local taxation in each of the Signatories, but it is extremely doubtful that NVTC or WM~TA would be regarded as local governments under Virginia law eligible to levy a pro- perty tax. In this regard, it is to be noted that, un- der Article X, Section 4, of the Constitution of Vir- ginia, property taxes are segregated for local taxation. Section 1 of Article X of the revised Constitution desig- PAGENO="0535" 1217 nates counties, cities and towns as units of local gov- ernment and a new entity of government designated as `regional government," which is defined as "unit of gen- eral government." The Report of the Commission on Con- stitutional Revision explains that the term "denotes a unit of government organized with a sufficient range or nurn:ber of powers and basic functions so as to be con- sidered organized for `general purposes.' It is con- trasted with units organized for `special purposes,' such as authorities." Although there are some precedents to the contrary antedating the constitutional revisions, it would appear that for the future neither NVTC nor WMATA would be considered governmental entities eligible to levy any form of property taxes. Levy Of Non-Property Tax ~ Political Subdivisions - It appears that the levy of non-property taxes at the local government level presents no substantive problems in any jurisdiction, and the only legal question is whether the Political Subdivisions may unilaterally levy the tax or whether authorization to do so must be obtained \ N from the State Leg~islature. In Virginia, the Political Subdivisions would.require authorization by the General Assembly to levy such a tax. In Montgomery and Prince -2- PAGENO="0536" 1218 George'5~.c~flfl~tieS, the question will turn on the specific tax sought to be utilized. Under Home Rule, the District of Columbia has general taxation powers, except for taxes on the personal income of non-residents, subject to the right of Congress to override any legislative enactment by the Council. - Levy by WSTC and NVTC With respect to taxation by the State Transit Districts, in Maryland there appears to be no problems of substantive law prohibiting the delegation to WSTC of the power to levy non-property, or, for that matter, pro- perty taxes. In this connection, it is to be recalled that Section 14 of the WS.TD law authorizes the Corrmiission to certifyto Montgomery and Prince George's Counties the tax to be levied against all assessable prope±ty in the Counties. Since the power to certify debt is considered in Maryland to be tantamount tothe power to tax, WSTC presently is exercising the power to tax property. This power could be expanded by the General Assembly to compre- hend non-property taxes, as well. The situation is not as clear-cut in Virginia. The problem turns on the general question of whether NVTC is the kind of governmental entity which may exercise a taxing power and reflects the uncertain status of special districts under Virginia law. (Makielski, "The Special -3- PAGENO="0537" 1219 District Problem in Virginia," 59 Va. L. Rev., 1182, 1192). The problem must be considered from the standpoint of several constitutional provisions. (a) Absence of Constitutional Prohibition Except for taxes on property which, as stated above, are segregated for local taxation by Article X, Section 4, of the Constitution, there is no express con- stitutional limitation on the type of government entity which may be the recipient of the power to levy a tax. Moreover, the Constitution affirmatively provides that the General Assembly may exercise all powers not denied to it under the Constitution (Article III, Section 14). (b) Representation asAffectin9. the Right Article I, Section 6, of the Bill of Rights, which prohibits taxation of the people "without their con- sent, or that of their representatives duly elected," must be considered in determining whether NVTC is a proper recipient of the power to tax. There are several relevant statutory precedents delegating the power to tax to agencies composed of non-elected persons. A service district created under the Virginia Area Development Act, which has the power to certify debt to its component governments, is governed by a Commission composed of a majority of elected - ___ ___ members and a minority of members of the governing bodies of the governmental subdivisions within the district (Code -4- PAGENO="0538" 1220 of Virginia, Title 15.1, § 15.1-1427). Under the Water- shed Improvement Districts Act, the directors of the soil and water conservation district or districts in which the watershed improvement district is situated, constitute the governing body of thewatershed improvement district (Code of Virginia, Title 21, § 21-112.9). The governing body of a soil and water conservation district, however, is composed of both elected and appointed officials (Code of Virginia, Title 21, § 21-42 and 43). It is not to be concluded, however, that the governing body of a district which is empowered to levy a tax must be composed, at least in part, of members who are elected to the governing body. In upholding the validity of a drainage district whose non-elective officials exercised taxing powers, the Supreme Cou~t of Appeals rejected the contention that the arrangement was unconstitutional, pointing out that the district was authorized under the Act of the legislature, that in assessing and levying the tax, the district was acting as agent of the State, and that, therefore, consent of the representatives duly elected had been obtained (Strawberry Hill Land Corp. V. Starbuck, 124 Va. 71, 97 S.E. 362 (1918)). Although this doctrine is equally applicable to NVTC, the * validity of the delegation of the power to levy a tax need üot rest solely on this rationale for, in the case of NVTC, -5- PAGENO="0539" 1221 a majority of the Commission is composed of elected members of the governing bodies encompassed within the District and members of the General Assembly. Cc) Uniformity of Taxation The laws of both Maryland and Virginia contain a uniformity of taxation requirement. The Maryland courts have held that this principle requires only that the tax be equal and uniform within the affected area. Under this rule, a tax may be levied in less than the entire geograph- ical area of the levying authority~ so long as it is uniform in the affected area. Article X, Section 1, of the Constitu- tion of Virginia imposes the requirement that all taxes "shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects within! the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax." The supreme Court of Appeals held in a case arising under Section 168 of the Constitution, which is substantially similar to Article X, Section 1, of the new Constitution, that non-property taxes are excluded from the effect of Section 168. Thus, in Virginia, there may be a differential in assessments of non-property taxes under justifiable circumstances. It is to be recalled that in 1968, the Transporta- tion District Act of 1964 was amended to authorize NVTC to N issue bonds and tq pay the interest and principal thereon N by such taxes as shaii~be levied or authorized to be levied -6- PAGENO="0540" 1222 by the General Assembly. The legality of that provisionS was thoroughly studied at that time and it was concluded that there was no constitutional inhibition to the delegation by the General Assembly to NVTC of a* power to levy an excise- type tax. It was recommended at that time, however, that the validity of such a delegation should be established through test litigation. Nothing has occurred in the interval which suggests a change in that recommendation. Although the specific reference to a taxing power was eliminated in the 1972 revision of the provisions dealing with financing by Transit District (Article 4.1), that revision stemmed from considerations unrelated to the legality of the delegation of a taxing power to NVTC. Levy by WMATA WMATA, as a multi-jurisdictional district, is subject to the same principles as WSTC and NVTC in deter- mining its eligiblity to levy taxes. In addition, other principles applicable to its status as an interstate agency must be taken into account. At the outset, it is to be recognized that there is no reported decision, State or Federal, on the question of whether a State may delegate taxing power to an interstate body.. (a) Prohibition Against Separate Government In Virginia, Section 14 of the Bills of Rights of the Constitution (Article I) prohibits the establish- -7- PAGENO="0541" 1223 ment of a separate government but there is no similar provision in the Maryland Constitution. The Virginia pro- vision has not been judicially construed so that its mean- ing is enshrouded in uncertainty. It would not seem, however, that the provision condemns the delegation to an interstate agency of the power to levy a specified tax in Virginia, even though the agency is a body containing pre- dominantly non-Virginia representation. Although the power to tax is a critical element of sovereignty, that power alone, circumscribed by the limitations upon WM~TA as an agency of the Signatories, would not seem to elevate WM~TA to the status of a separate government. In searching for the meaning of the prohibition against separate government, it is pointed out that the new Constitution of Virginia states that the General Assembly may provide that any "County, City, Town or other unit of government may exercise any of its powers or perform any o,f its functions and may participate in the financing thereof jointly or in cooperation with the Commonwealth or any other unit of Government within or without the Commonwealth." (Article VII, Section 3). The express *reference to joint financing arrangements with units of government outside of the State is new to the Constitution. The significance of this provision is not to be minimized. In the Potomac River Fisheries Compact (Code -8- PAGENO="0542" 1224 of Virginia, Title 28.1, Secti~-2-8-.1-203; Annotated Code of Maryland, Title 6, Article 66(C), Section 261(A)), criminal jurisdiction for violations committed on the Potomac River, which lies wholly within Maryland, was con- ferred upon the Courts of Maryland and Virginia. Against a claim of improper delegation and abdication of legisla- tive power by Maryland, the Maryland Court of Appeals stated that `TThe use of a Compact for the execution of governmental functions is not an abdication, but an exercise of government." (Dutton v. Tawes, 225 Nd. 484, 500, cert. den., 368 U. S. 345 (1961)). Since WMATA is performing a function of government in cooperation with the Political Subdivisions, it is not unreasonable to consider that the* Virginia Court may construe Article VII, Section 3, of the new Constitution to support the delegation of a taxix~g power to WI4ATA as a means by which the Virginia Political Subdivisions may participate in the financing of the transit function in cooperation with the District of Columbia and the Maryland Counties. (b) Prohibition Against Delegation of Police Power Another frequently referred to constitutional doctrine is that a State may not delegate it~ police power to another State. This doctrine, however, has not been construed as a bar to participation by States in inter- -9- PAGENO="0543" 1225 state compacts, many of which, such as WM~TA, involve the joint exercise of police powers. Virginia, of course, is party to a number of compacts in addition to the transit compacts. West Virginia, which, together with Virginia. and six other states, is a party to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact (54 Stat. 752, July 11, 1940), sought to be relieved of its commitment to appropriate for the expenses of the Compact Commission on the grounds that, among others, the Compact constituted an unlawful delegation of the police power of the State. The Supreme Court rejected that argument and held that the delegation of power to the interstate agency does not contravene the West Virginia constItution merely because the delegation is to a body outside the State. (West Virginia, ex. rel. ~ Sims, 341 U.S. 22 (1951)). It would not seem that the difference between the power .to compel an .appropria- tion, which was the issue involved in Y~E v. Sims, and thepowerto levy a tax would justify a contrary holding. It is also significant that the prohibition in the Constitution of Virginia against the delegation of police power is a rather limited one. Article IX, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, provides that "The police power of the Cornnionwealth to regulate the affairs of corporations, the same as individuals, shall never be abridged." Section 7 of Article IX expressly excludes - 10 - PAGENO="0544" 1226 "all mu~iicipal corporations, other political subdivisions, and political institutions owned or controlled by he Commonwealth" from the definition of "corporations" in Section 6. There is, therefore, no express limitation on the police power of the State to participate with sister States in the joint exercise of police power on.problems transcending the borders of each. (c) Uniformity of Taxation The principle of uniformity of taxation discussed above with reference to NVTC and WSTC ~5: also relevant to the levy of a tax by WMATA. As stated above, the Maryland Court has held that the rate of assessment must be uniform in the area in which the tax is levied but the tax need not be levied over the entire geographic area of the levying p~ auhority. In Virginia, there is judicial precedent to the effect that the rate of assessment f or non-property taxes need not be uniform in the area of assessment, but the tax must be levied over the entire area of the levying authority. The differences in the uniformity rule in Maryland and Virginia, however, would.not affect the power of WMATA to levy a tax but, as most, would require that *the rate of that tax be uniform. Since WMATA is an agency and instrumentality of each of the Signatories and would derive its taxing power from the General Assembly of each of the Signatories, it - 11 - PAGENO="0545" 1227 is also relevant to question whether in Virginia the tax must be levied statewide. The levy of taxes by special purpose districts, which, as a matter of general practice, are referred to as subdivisions Of the State, are limited to the area of the district. The practice with respect to taxation by special purpose districts provides a rather good indication that the answer should be in the negative. District of Columbia And The Taxing Power The status of the District of Columbia as a federal territory presents the novel question of whether that Government may participate through WMATA in the levy of a regional tax. Article 1, § 8, Clause 1, of the Con- stitution of the United States provides that "all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States." Since Congress has exclusive legislative power over the District of Columbia under Clause 17 of that Section, it is pertinent to consider whether legislation by or on behalf of the District of Columbia which provided for the levy of a tax on less than the entire United States would be valid. Although this precise question does not appear to have been previously considered, the trend of decisions would seem to support the validity of such an arrangement. In Binns v. United States, 194 U.S. 486 (1904), a license tax levied by Congress only in the Tern- - 12 - 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt. 2 - 35 PAGENO="0546" 1228 tory of Alaska was upheld on the ground that the tax was a local tax for the purpose of defraying the expense of the territorial government and not "to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and welfare of the United Stites." The Court held that only taxes for the latter purpose are subject to uniformity requirements. The rationale of that case was that Congress was acting in its capacity as the local legislature for Alaska and, in such capacity, the Congress, like any state legislature unrestricted by constitutional provisions, has plenary power over the levy of taxes. Although the District of Columbia is N not a State, it has been judicially dete~ined that the District may enter into compacts with the States. Thus, it would. seem that, with respect to the delegation to ~iATA of a power to levy a regional tax, the District of Columbia presents no problem different from, or in addition to, those applicable to Maryland and Virginia. - 13 - PAGENO="0547" 1229 November 2~+, 1975 Request Submission #4 Local Jurisdictions Question 3b. Submit a legal opinion on whether the local jurisdictions are liable for operating deficits and capital costs if local funds have not been appropriated. The local jurisdictions' legal liability for METRO capital construction costs is presently limited to the amounts reflected in a Capital Receipts Schedule appended to a Capital Contributions Agreement executed among WMATA and all participating local jurisdictions in 1970. The amounts allocated therein to each jurisdiction were based upon the originally estimated cost of construction of the METRO system. However, section 3.3 of that Agreement recognized that the capital contributions provided for therein were based upon estimates and would be subject to subsequent adjustment. Each jurisdiction pledged in the contract to each other jurisdiction and to the Authority its faithful cooperation and best efforts to obtain all authorizations required by law to provide any subsequent increase in its allocation of capital contributions. The Agreement also requires the Authority to take all reasonable measures permitted by the Compact or otherwise by law to collect and enforce prompt payment to or for its account of all capital contributions to be made by each jurisdiction in accordance with the Agreement. With respect to operating subsidy allocations to the various local juris- dictions, the Authority annually budgets in advance the amounts required from each jurisdiction. A Transit Service Agreement, designed to commit each jurisdiction to its respective allocated share of the operating subsidy, has been executed by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission on behalf of the Northern Virginia jurisdictions. Similar Agreements are awaiting execution by the District of Columbia and the Maryland jurisdictions. Should any juris- diction elect not to accept its full allocated share of the operating subsidy, the alternatives would be an offsetting fare increase, reduction in service, or a combination of both within that jurisdiction. Further, it is the Authority's position that, to the extent service has been rendered to a particular juris- diction, the Authority has a valid legal claim on a quantum meruit theory for sums sufficient to pay the operating expenses related to providing such service, less revenues derived from the operation.

Transit System shall mean the facilities, including all real and. personal property and all rights, interests, property and appurten- ances incidental thereto or used or useful in connection therewith, constructed or acquired by the Authority pursuant to Article II of this Agreement. SECTION 1.2. The Authority and the Political Subdivisions each hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. ARTICLE II CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION OP TRANSIT SYs~M SECTION 2.1. The Authority shall proceed with all practical dis- patch to construct and acquire the Transit System substantially in accordance with Adopted Regional System-1968 (Revised), as the same may hereafter from time to time be altered, revised or amended * in accordance with the Compact; provided, however, that the Authority shall not construct or be under any obligation to construct the facilities * specified in any such revision, alteration, or amendment of Adopted Regional System-1968 (Revised) until and unless this Agreement is appropriately amended or other arrangements are made, which, in the opinion of the Authority, assure the availability of adequate funds to finance the Transit System substantially in accordance with Adopted Regional System-1968 (Revised) as so revised, altered or amended. No such revision, alteration or amendment which would reduce the facilities to be constructed in accordance with the Adopted Regional System-1968 (Revised) within any Political Subdivision (or in the case of the City of Fairfax and the City of Falls Church, reduce the facilities serving such Political Subdivision) shall be adopted without the consent of such Political Subdivision. PAGENO="0553" 1235 ARTICLE III CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS SECTION 3.1. Each Political Subdivision shall contribute to the capital required by the Authority for the construction and acquisition of the Transit System by making Capital Contributions to the Author- ity in the amounts and on or before the times specified for such Political Subdivision in the Capital Receipts Schedule provided for in Section 3.2, as the same may he revised from time to time in accordance with said Section 3.2. SEcTIoN 3.2. There is appended to this Agreement as Schedule A, a Capital Receipts Schedule showing the amounts and due dates ~f the Capital Contributions to be made by each Political Subdivision under this Agreement, including those portions of the Capital ContributiOns of the Washington Suburban Transit District guaranteed by Prince George `s County and Montgomery County, respectively, as provided in the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto, and the estimated amounts and estimated dates of receipt of Capital Contributions to the Transit System by the Federal Government. The Authority retains the right to revise the Capital Receipts Schedule from time to time as may be necessary in the ~udg~ent of the Authority to provide the timely flow of funds necessary for the acquisition and construction of the Transit System; provided that (i) no such revision shall increase the aggregate amount of all the Capital Contributions required from any Political Subdivision without its written consent, (ii) no revision shall be made ~vhich would increase by more than 20% the amount (as set forth in the initial Capital Receipts Schedule attached to this Agreement) o~ the Capital Contribution to be made during any Fiscal Year by any Political Subdivision without its written consent, and (iii) no such revision which increases the amount or advances the due date of a Capital Contribution to be made by a Political Subdivision shall be effective with respect to such Political Subdivision unless the same is submitted to such Political Subdivision at least nine calendar months prior to the beginning of the fiscal year of such Political Subdivision in which such increased Capital Contribution is payable or such advanced due date occurs. Each and every revision by the Authority of the Capital Receipts Schedule shall he promptly transmitted to each Political Subdivision and such revision shall become part of the Capital Receipts Schedule under this Agree- ment. PAGENO="0554" 1236 6 SECTION 3.3. (a) It is understood and agreed that defiuitjve net project costs far the Transit S stem will nat he determined until the Transit System is completed and that, accordingly. the Capital Con- tributions provhlecl for herein are based on estimates. In order to assure the availability of funds to finance project costs, it is hereby agreed that on a date five years after the start of construction of the Transit System, or July 1, 1974, whichever is the later date. the Capital Contributions required from each Political Subdivision will he recom- puted. Such recomputation shall be made by the Authority by comput- ing the local share (one-third) of the net project costs of the Transit System, as then estimated by the Authority, and applying thereto the forniulae attached hereto on Schedule B utilizing the then latest avail- able information for the formulae factors, as obtained by the Authority. (b) In the event that such recomputa.tion establishes that the com- mitment of a Political Subdivision (the Capital Contributions of such Political Subdivision paid or to become clue) pursuant to Section 3.1 exceeds its allocable share of said local share of net project costs result- ing from such recomputation, then no adjustment shall be made at that time to its commitment. (c) Inthe event that such recomputation establishes that a. Political Subdivision's allocable share of said local share of net project costs resulting from the recomputation exceeds its commitment made pur- suant to Section 3.1, then such excess shall be allocated to such Political Subdivision.. (d) The Authority shall make subsequent recomputations from time to tithe and at least every two years and it shall make each such recomputation by computing said local sha~e of net project costs as then estimated by it and by determining each Political Subdivision's allocable share thereof by applying the same percentage of said local share of net project costs as shall have resulted from the computation under the formulae made pursuant to paragraph (a) above. (e) In the event that any such further recoinputation establishes that said local share of net project costs is greater than the sum of the commitments made pursuant to Section 3.1 as the same may have been modified pursuant to said Section 3.1 or paragraph (h) of this Section 3.3, then any such excess shall be allocated in the same n~auner as pro- vided in paragraph (c) hereof. PAGENO="0555" 1237 (1) In the event that any such further recomputation establishes that said local share of net project costs is less than the sum of the commitments made pursuant to Section 3.1, as the same may have been modified pursuant to said Section 3.1 or paragraph (h) of this Section 3.3, no adjustment shall be made at that time of the commitment of any Political Subdivision under Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement contained, no Political Subdivision shall be required to pay Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 3.1 in an amount in excess of its allocable share of said local share of net project costs as then recnmputed pursuant to this Section 3.3. (g) If, upon such a recomputation which shall be thade as provided in paragraph (d) above after definitive net project costs shall have been determined, such local share of net project costs is less than the aggre- gate amount of Capital Contributions paid by all the Political Subdi- visions pursuant to Section 3.1, then the amount of such excess payments shall be refunded to each such Political Subdivision in the ratio that the Capital Contributions paid by such Political Subdivision ~ursuant to Section 3.1 bears to the total Capital Contributions paid by all Political Subdivisions pursuant to Section 3.1. (h) In the case of the allocation of any excess pursuant to para- graph (c) or (e) above to one or more Political Subdivisions, each such Political Subdivision hereby pledges to each other Political Subdivision and to the Authority its faithful cooperation and best efforts to obt~in all authorizations required by law to provide the increase in itS Capitat Contributions resulting from such allocation. If and when such. Polit- ical Subdivision shall have obtained all such authorizations the amount of the Capital Contributions payable by each such Political Subdivision pursuant to Section 3.1 shall he increased by the amount so allo~éated to such Political Subdivision and the Capital Receipts Schedule shall be revised by the Authority accordingly. (i) Each recomputation pursuant to this Section 3.3 and any re- sulting allocation of increases and refunds of Capital Contributions shall include and set forth the portions of any such increase or refund of the Capital Contributions of the Washington Suburban Transit District allocable to Prince George `s County and Montgomery County, respectively, as provided in the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto. Srciiox 3.4. As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year during the acquisition and construction of the Transit System. the PAGENO="0556" 1238 8 Authority shall furnish each Political Subdivision with a progress re- port showing the progress made during such Year in such acquisition and construction and the amounts expended therefor. SECTIoN 3.5. With the written consent of the Authority, any Politi- cal Subdivision may satisfy its obligation under this Agreement to make Capital Contributions, in whole or in part, by the transfer to the Authority of real property and such real property shall be valued at its market value as of the time of the transfer. In the event the con- tributing Political Subdivision and the Authority do not agree on the value to be assigned to the real property to be contributed, such value shall be determined by an independent valuation of the property made by an appraiser acceptable to both the contributing Political Subdivi- sion and the Authority. Such valuation shall be in accordance with terms and conditions agreeable to the contributing Political Subdivision and the Authority and shall be binding on them. The cost of such ap- praisal shall be borne equally by the Authority and the contributing Political Subdivision. SECTIoN 3.6. The Authority shall at all times take all reasonable measures permitted by the Compact or otherwise by law to collect and enforce prompt payment to or for its account of all Capital Contribu- tions to be made by each Political Subdivision in accordance with this Agreement. If any Capital Contribution or part thereof due to the Authority from any Political Subdivision shall remain unpaid after its due date, such Political Subdivision shall be charged with and shall payto the Authority interest on the amount unpaid from its due date until paid, at the rate of 6% per annum. SECTION 3.7. The liability of the Political Subdivisions to make Capital Contributions under this Agreement shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the Capital Contributions to be made by each Political Subdivision pursuant to this Article. ARTICLE IV PAYMENT OF EXCESS REVENUES TO POLITICAL SUBDmSI0N5 AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SECTION 4.1. As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year in which the Transit System (ex- PAGENO="0557" 1239 9 clusive of any extension thereof authorized by amendment, revision or modification of Adopted Regional System-1968 (Revised)) is flrs~ put into substantially full revenue service as shall he determined by the Board of Directors of the Authority, any Excess Revenues for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Federal Government and the Political Subdivisions by paying to the Federal Government and each Political Subdivision that portion of such Excess Revenues which bears the same ratio to the total of such Excess Revenues as ithb `ag1g~gate amount of the Capital Contribu~ions made by such PRhtical Subdi~isn~& or the Federal Government, as the case may be, beds to the~įggregate ;~\ amount of all Capital Contributions made by the ~Federal.aovernthent ~ and the Political Subthvi~ion~ Such payment shall be acoomp imeci by an appropriate accounting by the Authority sh~vi~g the~niputa~ tion of such Excess Re~ enue~ and the allocation thereof ui ad~c&idance with this Section ARTICLE V MIscELLANEoUS SECTION 5.1.

In order to assure the availability of funds to finance project costs, it is hereby agreed that on a date five years after the start of construction of the Transit System, or July 1, 1974, whichever is the later date, the Capital Contributions required from each Political Subdivision will be recom- puted. Such recomputation shall be made by the Authority by comput- ing the local share (one-third) of the net project costs of the Transit System, as then estimated by the Authority, and applying thereto the formulae attached hereto on Schedule B utilizing the then latest avail- able information for the formulae factors, as obtained by the Authority. (b) In the event that such recomputation establishes that the com- mitment of a Political Subdivision (the Capital Contributions of such Political Subdivision paid or to become due) pursuant to Section 3.1 exceeds its allocable share of said local share of net project costs result- ing from such recomputation, then no adjustment shall be made at that time to its commitment. (c) In the event that such recomputation establishes that a Political Subdivision's allocable share of said local share of net project costs resulting from the recomputation exceeds its commitment made pur- PAGENO="0572" 1254 6 uant to Section 3.1, then such excess shall be allocated to such Political subdivision. (d) The Authority shall make subsequent recomputations from ime to time and at least every two years and it shall make each such ~ecomputation by computing said local share of net project costs as hen estimated by it and by determining each Political Subdivision's tllocable share thereof by applying the same percentage of said local ;hare of net project costs as shall have resulted from the computation inder the formulae made pursuant to paragraph (a) above. (e) In the event that any such further recomputation establishes ;hat said local share of net project costs is greater than the sum of the 3ommitments made pursuant to Section 3.1 as the same may have been nodified pursuant to said Section 3.1 or paragraph (h) of this Section 3.3, then any such excess shall be allocated in the same manner as pro- vided in paragraph (c) hereof. (f) In the event that any such further recomputation establishes that said local share of net project costs is less than the sum of the commitments made pursuant to Section 3.1, as the same may have been modified pursuant to said Section 3.1 or paragraph (h) of this Section 3.3, no adjustment shall be made at that time of the commitment of any Political Subdivision under Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement contained, no Political Subdivision shall be required to pay Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 3.1 in an amount in excess of its allocable share of said local share of net project costs as then recomputed pursuant to this Section 3.3. (g) If, upon such a recomputation which shall be made as provided in paragraph (d) above after definitive net project costs shall have been determined, such local share of net project costs is less than the aggre- gate amount of Capital Contributions paid by all the Political Subdi- visions pursuant to Section 3.1, then the amount of such excess payments shall be refunded tą each such Political Subdivision in the ratio that the Capital Contributions paid by such Political Subdivision pursuant to Section 3.1 bears to the total Capital Contributions paid by all Political Subdivisions pursuant to Section 3.1. (h) In the case of the allocation of any excess pursuant to para- graph (c) or (e) above to one or more Political Subdivisions, each such Political Subdivision hereby pledges to each other Political Subdivision and to the Authority its faithful cooperation and best efforts to obtain PAGENO="0573" 1255 7 - all authorizations required by law to provide the increase in its Capitai Contributions resulting from such allocation. If and when such Polit- ical Subdivision shall have obtained all such authorizations the amount of the Capital Contributions payable by each such Political Subdivision pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be increased by the amount so allocated to such Political Subdivision and the Capital Receipts Schedule shall be revised by the Authority accordingly. (i) Each recomputation pursuant to this Section 3.3 and any re- sulting allocation of increases and refunds of Capital Contributions shall include and set forth the portions of any such increase or refund of the Capital Contributions of the Washington Suburban Transit District allocable to Prince George `s County and Montgomery County, respectively, as provided in the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto. SECTION 3.4. As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year during the acquisition and construction of the Transit System, the Authority shall furnish each Political Subdivision with a progress re- port showing the progress made during such Year in such acquisition and construction and the amounts expended therefor. SECTION 3.5. With the written consent of the Authority, any Politi- cal Subdivision may satisfy its obligation under this Agreement to make Capital Contributions, in whole or in part, by the transfer to the Authority of real property and such real property shall be valued at its market value as of the time of the transfer. In the event the con- tributing Political Subdivision and the Authority do not agree on the value to be assigned to the real property to be contributed, such value shall be determined by an independent valuation of the property made by an appraiser acceptable to both the contributing Political Subdivi- sion and the Authority. Such valuation shall be in accordance with terms and conditions agreeable to the contributing Political Subdivision and the Authority and shall be binding on them. The cost of such ap- praisal shall be borne equally by the Authority and the contributing Political Subdivision. SECTION 3.6. The Authority shall at all times take all reasonable measures permitted by the Compact or otherwise by law to collect and enforce prompt payment to or for its account of all Capital Contribu- tions to be made by each Political Subdivision in accordance with this Agreement. If any Capital Contribution or part thereof due to the PAGENO="0574" 1256 8 Authority from any Political Subdivision shall remain unpaid after its due date, such Political Subdivision shall be charged with and shall pay to the Authority interest on the amount unpaid from its due date until paid, at the rate of 6% per annum. SECTION 3.7. The liability of the Political Subdivisions to make Capital Contributions under this Agreement shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the Capital Contributions to be made by each Political Subdivision pursuant to this Article. ARTICLE IV REPAYMENT OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS SECTION 4.1. As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year next succeeding the Fiscal Year in which the Initial Operation. Date shall occur, any Excess Revenues for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Political Subdivi- sions, as a repayment of their Capital Contributions, by paying to each Political Subdivision that portion of such Excess Revenues which bears the same ratio to the total of such Excess Revenues as the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions made by such Political Subdivision bears to the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions made by the Political Subdivisions; provided however, that there shall be de- ducted from such Excess Revenues and paid over to the Federal Government, as a repayment of its Capital Contributions, that amount required to be so paid therefrom by Federal law in force and effect upon the effective date of this Agreement. Such payment shall he accompanied by an appropriate accounting by the Authority showing the computation of such Excess Revenues and the allocation thereof in accordance with this Section, including the allocation of any such payment made to the Washington Suburban Tra.nsit District between Montgomery County and P.rince George's County as provided in Section 4 of the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto. ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 5.1.

PAGENO="0580" 1262 14 SUBALLOCATION FORMULAE The suballocation formulae for distribution of the Maryland and Virginia shares of local net project costs, shall be the formulae adopted by the Washington Suburban Transit Commission and the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, respectively, as follows: A. The Washington Suburban Transit Commission adopted the formula set forth above, including the weight given to each factor, for allocation of the Maryland share of local net project costs between Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. B. The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission also adopted the formula set forth above for allocation of the Virginia share of local net project costs among Arlington and Fairfax Counties, and the ~Cities of Fairfax, Alexandria and Falls Church. However, the weight given to each factor comprising the formula was established by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission for, purposes of the Virginia suballocation at 25% for each factor. PAGENO="0581" 1263 15 GUARANTY AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made as of the 9th day of January, 1970 by and between the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Maryland (hereinafter referred to as "Prince George's County") and MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Maryland, (sometimes hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the "Guarantors" and, individually, as "Guarantor") and WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY (hereinafter referred to as "Authority"), a body corporate and politic created by interstate compact between Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia; W I T N E S S E T H WHEREAS, the Washington Suburban Transit District (hereinafter referred to as "District") is authorizedby the Washington Suburban Transit District Law, constituting Chapter 72 of the Montgomery County Code of 1965 (being Article 16 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland), as amended, and Chapter 83A of the Code of Public Local Laws of Prince George's County (1963 Edition, being Article 17 of the Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland), as amended, to enter into the foregoing Capital Contributions Agreement of even date herewith (hereinafter referred to as the "Capital Contributions Agreement"); WHEREAS, pursuant to said Washington Suburban Transit District Law the obligations imposed upon the District by the Capital Contribu- tions Agreement shall be guaranteed by Montgomery County and Prince George `s County in the proportions herein provided; and WHEREAS, the Guarantors are desirous that the Authority enter into the Capital Contributions Agreement with the District, among others, and are willing to enter into this Agreement as an inducement to the Authority to enter into the Capital Contributions Agreement; Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and as an induce- ment to the execution and delivery by the Authority of the Capital Contributions Agreement, the Guarantors do each hereby agree wifli the Authority as follows: SECTION 1.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY By [SEAL] Attest: PAGENO="0584" 1266 18 COUNTY Co~rIssIoNERs FOR PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY By [SE~u~] Attest: Accepted this day of , 1970, WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY By [SEAL] Attest: PAGENO="0585" 1267 November 21+, 1975 Request Local Jurisdictions Question 2:Please provide any studies done by the Authority on driving disincentives, e.g., parking spaces, gasoline taxes, automobile excise taxes, etc. The Authority has not undertaken specific studies on driving disincentives. It has, however, promulgated programs and policies which will provide a viable alternative to depending upon the automobile. In addition, NVTC has developed a paper on parking policies and the Authority is coordinating with a District of Columbia study of staggered working hours. The Authority believes that driving disincentives should be initiated -- after a viable alternative is available. Consequently, the Authority feels that driving disincentives must be closely correlated with the completion of Metrorail. PAGENO="0586" 1268 November 2k, 1975 Request Submission #4 Local Jurisdictions Question 14: Land around a proposed Vienna subway stop was rezoned to increase its value as a means of cutting Fairfax County's financial obligation to Metro. What action has the Authority taken to assure this does not happen in the future? Please include a description of the process Metro uses in acquiring land. Re: Rezoning Actions by Fairfax County: On August 25, 1975, in a new preliminary plan, Fairfax County recommended 4-5 units per acre for the Bowman (Lot 94) and Clifton, Heinzman, et al (Parcel 90) properties (as identified on the attached portion of Fairfax County Tax Map 48). On the De Luca Tract (Parcel 2, Block 1), the County granted RM2O zoning, with the provision that the WHATA and VDH requirements would be dedicated to the County. All of the development potential of the entire site has been reserved to the remainder, after VDH and WMATA requirements are deducted. Fairfax County has suggested a substantial credit to their capital contributions for the land area proposed to be dedicated to the County by the owner for transit purposes. Wfrt4TA"is proceeding with a direct taking from the owner at a nominal value based upon its approved appraisal since credit to Fairfax County is not considered justified. On the American LH.M. Province, Inc. (Parcel 89), the County granted townhouse zoning for 8 units per acre (on January 12, 1976) with the owners dedicating to the State all right-of-way for Metro access roads. All the property required for the north side of the Vienna Station has now been zoned. Re: Land Acquisition Procedures: Negotiations with property owners as well as all other acquisition actions are conducted in strict compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act of 1970, P. L. 91-646. (continued) PAGENO="0587" 1269 November 2~i, 1975 Request Submission #~i Question 1+ continued Local Jurisdictions The quantum of the estate acquired for stations, station entrances, permanent parking facilities and locations where substantial permanent improvements and other transit facilities are conducted takes into consideration planning, architectural and operational factors necessary to exercise control over the immediate environment as well as purely physical requirements. Generally, where possible, fee estates are acquired. Action to acquire an interest in real property (whether a fee or a lesser interest) is initiated when the Director of Engineering certifies to the Director of Real Estate that the interest is necessary to lay-out, construct, operate or maintain the rapid transit system. After a property interest is certified, appraisals by an independent contract appraiser and by a staff appraiser are obtained and acquisition ne- gotiations are started. To the extent possible, all property interests are acquired by voluntary conveyance through negotiations based on fair market value as estimated by the appraisals. If acquisitions by eminent domain proceedings are necessary, the Department of Justice acts for WMATA, filing the condemnation assembly and handling the case in the same manner as for Federal agencies. PAGENO="0588" (~) PAGENO="0589" 1271 November 219, 1975 Request ~1i~ Question 1: Please supply the average operating speed, the average headways, average expected trip lengths, average vehicle occupancy, fleet utilization, fares as seen for the rail system in 1972 and 1975. This question posed under "DOT Policy" can not be answered by staff. As part of the 19719 NIA Study for the year 1990, the following responses are g i yen: a.

Assuming this request refers to Section 5(d)(2) of the National Transportation Act of 19714 the following information is submitted. On September 17, 1975 the Secretary of Transportation promulgated rules and regulations for the Transportation Imporvement Program (Federal Register, Vol 40 No. 181 p. 4297642984) effective October 17, 1975. These regulations among other things made the Metropolitan planning Organization in cooperation with the State and with publicly owned operators of Mass Transportation services responsible for carrying out the Urban Transportation Planning process. Therefore the Washington Council of Governments is developing the Transit Improvement Program (TIP) including the Transportation Systems Management (TSM) element. These regulations also established a target date of March 30, 1976 for the development of the TSM element and the programming for its implementation. Accordingly WMATA is developing information and plans for those categories of items under the direct control of the transit authority. Suggestions for actions to ensure the efficient use of existing road space and actions to reduce vehicle use in congested areas are being submitted to the appropriate govermental agencies. WMATA pians to submit during January the componets for the TSM e 1 emen ts. These will include: A. Actions to increase Internal Transit Management efficiency 1. A description of the Metrobus radio equipment and Vehicle Locating Facility. PAGENO="0595" 1277 (2) Beginning early in 1976 two-way radios will be installed on all operating equipment. With this installation, service to the public will be vastly improved. Through two-way communication, ability--in the areas of schedule adherence, service dependability and public safety--can be maintained. WMATA also proposes to install a vehicle locating facility which will provide continuous monitoring capability for the entire bus fleet without the need of voice transmission. Installation of this system will require funding through the UMTA Capital Grant Program. As of this date, UMTA is not providing funds for the system. 2. Bus Route Map *WMATA has developed a large scale transit map showtng bus routes and fare zones for use of Infcrrmation Personnel , Bus Drivers Orientation and route planning purposes. 3. Revised Bus Condition Report In an effort to more completely and effectively report mechanical defects observed by operating personnel, a revised bus condition report and a new reporting procedure was implemented on September 28, 1975. L4~ Issuance of Operators Guide In September 1975, a revised operation Guide was distributed to all operating personnel. The guide includes an outline of the peak/offpeak fares, fare zone maps, hours of peak/off peak fares, off peak senior citizen and handicapped fares, rules and regulation concerning ticket sales, scrips, fare transportation, issuance and acceptance of transfers and others. In addition the guide include.~a listing of all Metrobus routes and the fare zone boundaries on each route. PAGENO="0596" 1278 (3) 5. Standard Block Number Systems A standard block number system is being developed consisting of a leading letter and three numerals. Such block numbers are to be displayed on permanently affixed roll type signs on the bus. This program will be an improvement over the present system in that it will assure the presence of a block number on the bus at all times, thus facilitating positive identification. This ~,ill improve the efficiency of the traffic checking function and supervisory control. It will also serve as the base for identification of buses in radio communication upon installation of two-way radios. 6. Metrobus Courtesy Program The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has initiated a systemwide campaign to bring meaningful recognition to all Metrobus operators they find to be especially courteous in their duties. This program is geared to improve and stress courtesy, attitude and morale which in turn will improve the efficiency of transit services. 7. Metrobus - Standard Operating Procedure~ Goals of the program are to improve the operating safety record, operating fuel consumption, relations with other users of the street and to facilitate and standardize the training of bus operators. The method for achieving the stated goals are to issue the procedures in a convenient package to each operator and supervisor for ready reference and to use the procedures as a base for the training of new operators. "Standard Operating Procedures" create a common base of communications between operaters~ and supervisors that can eliminate misunderstandings when supervisors4o~bS~rve improper operations requiring correctjvp !n~rI!c~'~r~. PAGENO="0597" 1279 (14) 8 System Sa et~Pr~ ram `4MATA is developing a system safety vrogram wnicn will include the following: 1. Development and distribution of a written system safety master plan 2. Establishment and maintenance of a data base 3. AccIdent/incident investigation 4. Assessment of training needs, development of safety training resources and programs and the conduct and evaluation of safety training programs. 5. Development and review of written safety procedures 6. Development and review of safety standards 7. Conduct safety inspections of system installations and work practices. 8. Conduct hazard analysis and evaluation 9. Documentation of safety engineering data, hazard data catalog, safety analysis reports and data, risk assessment reports, accident/i ncident safety performance comparative data 9. Revised Maintenance Program On January15, 1976, WMATA instituted revised maintenance procedures which will assure faster turnaround maintenance and bus repairs, thereby improving the efficiency of the system. - B. Actions 1o Improve Transit Service Throygh: 1. Simplified Fare Collection Systems and Policies On September 1, 1975, the Authority implemented a new unified fare/zone structure throughout the Metropolitan area. PAGENO="0598" 1280 (5) Prior to the time. t ~uLhori ty hed been oper~t leg under the fare/zone structures with minor exceptions implemented by the private bus companies. The fare zone structure approved by the WMATA Board, eliminated many of the inequities which existed under the old fare/zone structures. In addition, the Authority established a peak/off-peak fare which provides for a low off-peak fare to encourage off-peak patronage when ridership is low and to divert peak period riders to the off-peak hours. A reduced senior citizen and handicapped off-peak fare was also established which provides for a flat 20 cent fare when traveling within any one jurisdiction (D.C.,Md., and Va.) plus an additional 10 cents when crossing a state boundary. 2. Bus Shelter Program WHATA has underway a program to install 200 bus shelters a year. As of October 1975, 454 site plans had been prepared with 209 approved and 171 shelters installedor under contract. It should also be noted that 109 of the proposed sites have been rejected for a variety of reasons. 3. Bus Priorities To achieve a reduction in vehicular emissions within the next few years to meet air quality standards as required by EPA, the Authority staff has identified specific areas and streets where bus priority treatment appears justified to expedite the movement of traffic and to speed the flow of buses through congested areas. PAGENO="0599" 1281 (6) Seventeen specific corridors were identified for bus priority treatment. These corridors are located in the downtown Central Business District where approximately 75°~ of all Metrobus trips are oriented. The bus priorities include a variety of new treatments designed to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and public transit vehicles. Major emphasis is directed toward the inauguration of a one-way Street system with contra-flow bus lanes. Other priorities include center lane designation for express bus operation, unbalanced traffic lanes with contra-flow buses operating on the opposite side of the median, additional standard curb lanes and strict enforce- ment of all bus priority measures. Bus Stop Signs To make it easier for prospective riders to use bus transportation, standardized bus stop signs have been designed and are presently being installed throughout the metropolitan area, replacing the bus signs of the private companies. The signs are readily noticeable, painted red, white and blue, and show a listing of all bus routes which serve each particular stop. In total, approximately 12,000 bus stop signs will be installed of which approximately 1,200 have been installed through December 30, 1975. PAGENO="0600" 1282 (7) C. Prg rams to Improve Ridership The 1976 objectives of WMATA'S Office of Marketing program i nd ude: 1. Mobile Sales Office To expand the number, broaden the geographic distribution and increase the use of sales/information facilities while avoiding high permanent construction costs and to provide an important convenience incentive to customers and expanded visibility for Metrobus. 2. Promotional Fares To provide monetary and convenience incentives for attracting new riders without increasing operating costs and to enhance the image and expand the visibility of Met robus. 3. Pentagon Sales Office Remodeling To expand and modernize this facility in keeping with the design and decor of surrounding facilities in the Pentagon in order to serve adequately the 35,000 employees in the area while enhancing the image and visibility of METRO. Timing is especially important because of the impending interface of METROBUS and METRORAIL at the Pentagon location. L~. New National Visitors Center Sales Office To provide a permanent sales and information facility for the convenience of visitors to the National Capital Area, for rail commuters entering Washington through adjacent Union Station and for resident commuters using Phase of Metrorail.

LOCAL JURISDICTIONs Question Sa. Submit a complete schedule of local payments, noting those that will require a bond issue or additional local legislation. Answer. The current financial plan in support of the $2977 billion estimate of system cost provides for the payment of $720 million by the local jurisdictions. The Maryland jurisdictions have paid $175.2 million from a total obligation of $248.9 million. The remaining $73.7 million has been authorized by the state but not appropriated. The District of Columbia has a total obligation of $266.7 million of which $211.7 million has been paid and $55.0 million is authorized but not appropriated. The Virginia jurisdictions have a total obligation of 8204.9 million of which $135.1 million has been paid. The remaining $69.8 million due to the Authority is in various stages of availability. Alexandria has a balance of $12.3 million and available funds of $2.6 million. The remaining $9.7 million requires City Council action. Arlington has a balance of $27.1 million and available funds of $4.6 million. The remaining $22.6 million will require a bond referendum. Fairfax County has a balance of $29.2 million and available funds of $9.2 million. The remaining $20.0 million will require a bond referendum. Fairfax City and Falls Church have sufficient funds available to meet their obligation of $1.2 million. MARKETING AND THE MARKET PLAN Question 1. Describe how the fare structure fits into the marketing plan. Answer. The new Metrobus fare structure was fashioned by the Office of Plan- ning with substantial participation by representatives of the local jurisdictions. Although the general effect of the new structure was an increase in revenues from fare boxes, the manner and method of implementation was such that the customary attendant drop in ridersl1ip was avoided. In fact, the unique nature of the fare adjustment permitted a completely candid marketing effort with emphasis on the positive aspects of the new- fares. As a result, Metrobus has experienced the phenomenon of an increase in ridership at the time of a fare increase which is extremely rare if not wholly unprecedented in the industry. The most obvious and fundamental "fit" between the fare structure and the marketing plan is its emphasis on and encouragement of ridership during the non-rush hours. In effect, what might have been viewed as a penalty charge for riding during the rush has received fairly general acceptance as a reduced or incentive charge for not riding during the rush. This perception on the part of customers and potential customers is vital to the long-standing key marketing ob- jective of expanding non-rush ridership. A sub-benefit for the marketing effort arising from the fare structure is its positive effect on what had been an almost unexplainable structure inherited from the four private companies. Rush-hour fares are still not simple to understand but they are essentially logical and explainable. Non-rush fares have been materially simplified, a fact which is being exploited in the ongoing marketing program pitched at stimulating rides during the so-called base day. Question 2. Describe how special and charter services and services to special events and distant areas fit into the marketing plan. Answer. The non-fare box revenue producing function of the Office of Market- ing w-hich embraces charter and special services is tailored toward the traditional approach of profit-and-loss centers in private enterprise. Recognizing that all "profits" derived from charter and special services serve directly to defray the subsidy requirements of regular route service, every effort is made to expand business which produces significant net return to the Authority. Among other things, this means that sales emphasis is directed tow-ard service during the non- rush hours when manpower and equipment is available and when the cost of providing the service is minimal. This requires finely tuned selling techniques which have been modestly successful in a highly competitive marketplace. In spite of WMATA's general inability to write charter orders for business which intrudes into the rush periods, the Authority remains one of the largest charter- PAGENO="0613" 1295 ing bus entities in the country with sales of charter and contract service ex- ceeding $5 million annually. To assure that this activity remains both profitable and competitive, the tariff (at Attachment A) is updated periodically and sales personnel are not permitted to deviate even slightly from the approved quotations in the tariff. The latest tariff was approved by the Board of Directors in Decem- ber 18, 1975, and went into effect on January 1, 1976. Services to special events are best exemplified by the Redskins Specials and charters, racetrack service-and as a example of service for a one-time event- the Folklife Festival of 1975, service for which was operated under contract for the National Park Service for ten days in late June and early July, 1975. The Folklife Festival service, a shuttle service from fringe parking at the Pentagon to the Lincoln Memorial, grossed approximately $10,000 from operating 88 buses during the contract. During the recent football season the Authority again op- erated special Metrobus service to Redskins games from various established pick-up points in the transit zone as well as regular charter service for groups attending the games. The Redskins Special service grossed $125,000, carrying over 40,000 passengers during the seven season games and exhibitions. Revenue from group charters for Redskins games accounted for another $91,450 during the same period. It is assumed that the term "distant areas" refers to WMATA's so-called com- munity-type service. Regular route service is, of course, restricted to the speci- fied Transit Zone and charter service is confirmed within a 250-mile radius of the District of Columbia. Community-type service, currently being offered to three Virginia communities, departs from the general "profit-and-loss center" prin- ciple of the office because it is administered on a cost-equals-price basis. The pro- gram is of questionable value and the majority of this service is currently being phased out. (The above response also applies to Question #4 which is related to this question.) Question 3. Describe how promotions and promotional fares and material fit in to the marketing plan. Staff recommendations on promotional fares are outlined in considerable detail in the report titled "A Program of Promotional Fares" (at Attachment B) which is submitted herewith for the record. The report was delivered to the Board Committee on Revenue and Operations in August and was, in turn, circulated to all local and sub-regional jurisdictions for reaction and comment. Suburban reactions have generally favored the concept. The District of Columbia has not yet responded. It should .be noted that the incentive elements of the proposed approach lean heavily on the convenience and status factors and only slightly on bargain pric- ing. This approach is consistent with the Authority posture of treading lightly in areas where subsidy requirements could be affected negatively. The entire promotional fare approach is keyed to the new fare structure with its somewhat complicated zone fares-as related in the first section of this response. Several aspects of the promotional fare program lend themselves to promoting ridership in general, specifically the unlimited usage of the passes during their valid periods. It is intended that once adopted the promotional fare program would be used as the primary theme for promoting the various benefits of public transit. A promotional scheme has been developed along with the promotional fare program, a brief description of which is incorporated in the attached document. The underlying philosophy of the promotional program has been to provide consumers with hard information about public transit on the theory that the more people know about using the system the easier it is for them to use it. Most of the promotional activity for Metrobus has been both informational and motiva- tional. Make it easy to use the system and give people reasons for using it. The promotional fares program is a large step in the attempt to provide that ease, while making possible the multiple sale of rides by selling a full month's worth at one time. Because the program itself is unique to this area, it lends itself to a number of attention-getting approaches for promotional programs and at the same time provides a method for focusing attention on how each individual can use the system to his or her best advantage. The program is predicated on selling both value and convenience to the con- sumer. Value in this instance is not simply price, but all of the benefits a pass holder can derive from his purchase of a pass for unlimited usage on Metrobus PAGENO="0614" 1296 throughout the region-tailored to the individual's hours and needs. By associ- ating the benefits attendant to public transit with the pass, those benefits can be defined for the consumer through planned informational and motivational promo- tions. The promotional fares program as developed is not a gimmick, but is a well-structured program aimed at providing real value to the consumer and at the same time providing an opportunity for the Authority to increase its overall revenue sales by levelling off downward fluctuations on day-to-day sales and by increasing utilization of the off-peak hour capacity. This kind of effort is fertile ground for promoting transit because it helps develop the "transit habit" in people by encouraging them to commit themselves (their money) to a certain number of rides over a period of time. Once committed and once they have used the system for any length of time, the easier it is for them to make the de- cision to buy again. The basic approach is to reduce the buying decision for a decision to buy again. The basic approach is to reduce the buying decision for a great number of people down to twelve decisions a year as opposed to any number of potential yes or no decisions that a consumer could make for each potential trip. The individual decision of the passholder whether to ride the bus or use some alternative mode becomes moot in terms of revenue to the Authority, yet the benefit of the pass resides with the consumer throughout the month for the full validated zone and time period. Thus focusing promotional attention on the sale of the pass, the benefits of transit can be expressed in an even more appealing package of values to the consumer. It might be added, that reduction in price is not a sufficient incentive for people to use transit if they perceive it as a valueless item. Current pricing, which is already substantially discounted, seems to have little or no effect on consumption of the service. If pricing were a significant factor, ridership should have decreased after the recent increase in some passenger fares. The actual results w-ere to the contrary, thus giving support to the premise that metropolitan area consumers are being attracted to Metrobus by other perceived values. Therefore, the promo- tional fares program relies on motivating consumers to use Metrobus by creating and reinforcing other benefits of public transit. Various promotions (information and motivation) and the promotional fares program are geared to the element of the marketing plan which is directed to increasing revenues from and usage of public transit in the metropolitan area without increasing operating costs or subsidy requirements. Most successful retailers consider promotional expenditures of this type to be an investment from w-hich a return can he anticipated, as opposed to being an ex- pense item. The entire promotional effort of the marketing plan is predicated on this same philosophy. The revenue and ridership increases speak for them- selves. Question 4. Describe how services to distant areas, special events and popula- tion centers fit into the marketing plan. (See Question 2.) Questien 5. Submit a comparison of marketing expenditures as a percentage of total expenditures before and after submission to the Director of Budget, Comp- troller/General Manager, and Board. Answer. The budget for the Office of Marketing is prepared at the section level within the office by expensing the projected work plan for each individual section prior to submission to the Director. The various section and branch work pro- grams and budgets are then reviewed and consolidated at the Director's level. Once the work plan is approved by the Director, it is expensed and submitted as the budget request to the General Manager/Comptroller where it is reviewed before submission to the Board Budget Committee. For FY `77, the office requested $1,418,000 for operating expenses exclusive of salaries or less than 1% of total Metrobus operating expenses of $131 million. After review of the office request by the General Manager/Comptroller and Office of Budget, certain planned programs and personnel requests were elim- inated from the work plan and the total operating request reduced by some 20% to $1,068,000. The Budget Review Committee of the Board of Directors further reduced the overall budget (both personnel and nonpersonnel items) by 12~%. for an operating total of $990,000, or less than 1% of the total operating budget which was also reduced by an overall 6%. These reductions in operating budget for the office have been reflected in the reduction in staffing of the office as well as the reduction in certain work plan elements. PAGENO="0615" 1297 Of this total operating budget for the office some $161,000 are expense items ~hicb are reimbursed by charter clients. This includes bridge, highway and tunnel tolls for charter trips; certain commissions which are provided for in the tariff which are paid to travel agencies who place charter orders with the Au- thority; and other attendant charter costs which are reimbursed by the charter- ing parties. These items are not really operating expenses for the office, but are listed in the office budget for accounting purposes. Actually, the higher the amount of these particular expenses, the greater the revenue to the Authority from charter sales since these reimbursable expenses are proportional to total charter sales. During this current fiscal year the office has instituted a strict budgetary con- trol system on all units by placing the accountability for fiscal control on the section level within the office. The office also engages in an ongoing and expanding program to defray costs wherever possible through cooperative promotion or the sale of advertising on certain publications and timetables. In FY `77 it is estimated the office will gen- erate some $6.8 million in non-f areboa~ revenues from concessions, charter and contract sales and advertising sales. This is over 600% of the total marketing operating budget and 5% of the total operating expenses for Metrobus. Question 6. Provide a comparison of some of the larger transit systems (New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles) marketing expenditures and revenues and explain any material differences in marketing department structure. Answer. Data on the expenditures for marketing by other transit properties is not readily available. However, the Office of Marketing has undertaken a survey (at Attachment C) of major properties to develop this data. When the information is collected and assembled it will be available to the Committee. It should be noted that transit properties have not organized their marketing efforts along parallel lines, thus making comparisons difficult. Many of the func- tions found in WMATA's Office of Marketing, such as charter and contract sales, telephone information service, consumer activities, consumer sales, market re- search and other functions either do not exist at other properties or are not necessarily found within the market organization. Many properties do not even have a formal marketing department and expenditures for various marketing activities are difficult to distinguish from other activities. WMATA is one of few transit properties that house most marketing activities within a single office. Questio~n 7. Describe how media is selected for various promotions. Answer. Media selection for effective advertising requires extension current market and media research data. Media recommendations for Metrobus adver- tising are generally presented to the Office of Marketing by the Authority's advertising consultant for review and analysis. However, prior to any selection, extensive research of the target market segment is conducted to determine specific demographic characteristics of the audience to be reached, i.e., potential buyers of transit service. The market is then segmented by various characteristics such as age, education, geography, ethnic background, income levels, etc. The market is continually researched to determine where and among which market segments the greatest opportunities lie for selling transit services. The segments are then given priority and again analyzed to determine what characteristics of the service offering would appeal most to each particular segment. The creative strategy is then tailored for those specific market segments, such as teens, house- wives, businessmen, students, secretaries, etc. Against this research and creative strategy the virious media are researched to determine where advertising should be placed to reach the greatest number of people within a particular market segment at the lowest cost. Because advertis- ing effectiveness relies heavily on the cumulative effect of the advertising mes- sage on a potential buyer, a mix of media, each reinforcing the other, is often employed against a single market segment. For example, a combination, Of print media (such as newspaper or magazine) and broadcast (such as radio and television) may prove to be the most effective combination of media for reaching the desired market segment. Therefore, in addition to analysis of various audiences of specific media, consideration is also given to where the greatest reinforcement and cumulative effect of the message can be obtained in a combination of media at the lowest dollar cost. Media are selected on this basis after careful research of the media available in the market. Certain research tools which are available to media analysts are employed to determine the most efficient media buys. These include, but are not PAGENO="0616" 1298 limited to, use of data provided by Arbitron, Pulse and Nielson which rate various broadcast media and breakdown their various audience characteristics by age, income level, sex, etc., and give the audience figures for each time seg- ment during the broadcast day. In print media various tools are also available from Standard Rate and Data Service, the Audit Bureau of Circulation which provide the same type of research as the broadcast research firms. By employ- ing these tools and obtaining other market and media data, an objective evalu- ation of the media can be made to base the selection of specific media for pur- chase on purely an efficiency basis. The amount of advertising dollars invested in advertising to any particular market segment is directly proportional to the amount of potential that segment represents for selling transit services. The posture of the Director of the office has been to make such media selections strictly on the basis of effectiveness and not for the purpose of creating good public relations with the owners or opera- tors of various media or other persons interested in advertising placement. Question 8. Describe how specific marketing inputs such as survey data, rider- ship studies, idea generation, and implementing and reviewing plans fit into the overall management structure. Answer. A distinction is draw-n on the management level between the program for the Office of Marketing and the Authority's marketing program. On the one side of the coin is the Authority's overall objective to provide the consumer with the finest transit service feasible within the various fiscal and operational con- straints. This is a consumer-oriented attitude on the part of every level of the Authority's organizational structure that is concerned with bringing services to the marketplace which fill the needs of consumers as perceived by all the various indicators of those needs. That is the Authority's marketing program. The pro- gram for the Office of Marketing is concerned with implementing some of the aspects of the overall marketing program, principally those direct actions which determine the character of the market and attempt to create a selling environ- ment in which consumer acceptance of the product is more readily manifest. Thus, all the actions of the management of the Authority which are concerned with the service offering and the consumers' needs are an integral part of the Authority's marketing program. Since the Office of Marketing sits on equal footing at the top management level with the operating and planning departments, integration and coordination of objectives of the various activities takes place in the development and formula- tion of Authority policies relating to providing a good product which can be sold in the marketplace. Research and market identification takes place both from the pure marketing viewpoint in the Office of Marketing as well as from the plan- ning function w-hich is concerned with, to a large degree, service development and pricing. Service improvement, whether through cleaner buses, better driver re- sponses, better routes and schedules, fare adjustments, better information-are all aspects of the service offering which generate ideas for marketing the product to the broadest possible market. The work plan for the Office of Marketing. Pro- ject 76 (copy attached at Exhibit D) is a reflection of the entire Authority mar- keting effort and represents, to a large degree, the inputs from the various com- ponents within the management structure. Question 9. Describe how market and market potential are identified and how specific segments have been identified and penetrated in the past. Answer. The Office of Marketing identifies its market and potential markets through ongoing consumer and marketing research. This research is conducted in various ways, but the ultimate goal is to develop as much knowledge about consumer habits and market potential as possible and to acquire as much knowl- edge of our product position against the marketplace. Consumer research is con- ducted to identify areas where the Authority can make improvements in the prod- net in accordance with customer needs and preferences. Marketing research is conducted to identify markets and potential customers for various transit serv- ices and to identify the best methods and channels for communicating with them. Research to date has been conducted both by outside market research firms and * by in-house staff. These have consisted of various attitude and market studies some of which are compiled in Exhibit E, entitled "Resident and Rider Attitudes Towards Metrobus," (July, 1975). This report summarizes the research findings through the first half of 1975. These findings and the additional research which the Marketing office conducts have been translated into purposeful actions aimed at penetrating the market PAGENO="0617" 1299 within the scope of the objectives of the Office. The task of the Office of Marketing has been guided by these findings. The objectives of the marketing plan have been established as outlined below in order of priority. 1. To provide meaningful and responsive action to the needs of transportation consumers in the National Capital Region; 2. To make it possible for consumers in our existing service area to use Metro- bus to the fullest possible extent; 3. To attract and persuade them to do so; 4. To measure and report the extent to which this happens; 5. To develop plans and programs which make for even greater growth in serv- ice and patronage; 6. To provide a mechanism whereby all functions within the Authority may co- operate to improve Metrobus services; 7. To provide WMATA with whatever revenue is attainable without damaging or distracting the Authority's primary community service objective. In each area, WMATA has made significant strides since the acquisition of the four bus companies some three years ago and since the inception of the Office of Marketing at that same point in time. Overall, the most telling achievement is contained in ridership increases which have occurred. Prior to the acquisition of the former bus companies, ridership had long been declining at an alarming rate. Since acquisition, and by conscious effort by the Authority, ridership was sta- bilized and began to grow at an increasing rate each year to the point where it is now 4 per cent over last year. Additional revenue has steadily increased. Patronage trend lines indicate continued growth in ridership. Even though the operating fleet of the Metrobus system since September of this year is less than it was previously, revenue and patronage continue to climb upwards. Annual patronage is now at a record 122 million rides. Part of this success can be attributed to meeting the first objective of the marketing effort: providing responsive action to the needs of consumers. One of the most dramatic improvements on the consumer side has been in the area of telephone transit information. At acquisition, the number of calls for transit in- formation was running about 20,000 per week, up to 100,000 per month. Twenty- * seven information clerks and supervisors were then answering under 60% of the total incoming calls. For example, during a typical week in January, 1973, there were 15,000 incoming calls and only 8,000 were answered. Since that time, the office has doubled the number of operators, implemented a training and retrain- ing program, improved the informational materials with which the clerks work and developed an incentive program for the employees. Calls have since in- creased to about 35,000 a week (sometimes approaching 45,000) and the answer rate has increased to well over 90%, at times reaching as much as 98%. What has happened is that twice the staff has been handling four times the amount of work and the quality of information has improved substantially. This has made it easier for patrons to get informaton on routes and schedules, therefore, making it easier for them to ride Metrobus. (Operators Training Manual at Exhibit "F"). Additional materials have been prepared to assist consumers on how to ride the bus in metropolitan Washington. Personalized timetables give specific in- formation to any consumer on request. Couponed advertising allows a con- venient method for consumers to obtain tailored information about riding the bus. Most of the advertising budget is directed to bringing good hard informa- tion into the hands of consumers to help them use the Metrobus system. Some examples include the direct promotion of new lines and service changes through direct mail, special flyers, posters, radio broadcasts, special timetable distribu- tion. Additionally, timetables are widely distributed in schools, offices, employ- ment centers, information outlets, hotels and libraries throughout the region. Advertising has provided a strong impetus to ridership, through motivational and education messages which provide information on riding as well as point out the attractive features of the transit alternative. The improvement of the appearance of the fleet and improved routing and scheduling have also served to attract riders. Promotion of these improvements makes it known to the consumer that transit services in our region are improving drastically to provide them with better and better service. Introduction of a new fare system has helped equalize fares throughout the transit zone and substantial information support went into making it easier for patrons to accommodate to the change. PAGENO="0618" 1300 During the period of March-April, 1975, ridership dropped slightly. Coincident with this decline was a reduction in the amount of advertising and promotion being conducted as a result of a budget squeeze. While evidence that the decline was related to the reduction in the promotional effort is not obtainable, it has been accepted that information support and promotion are closely associated with increasing ridership trends. The premise that information in the hands of the consumer and reinforcing promotion will motivate people to ride the bus has been part of the fundamental objectives of the marketing plan. Consumer research has been conducted on an ongoing basis to determine the needs of consumers and to define marketing opportunities for selling bus service. As experience accumulates within the office and knowledge of the market and its opportunities continues to expand, more plans and programs are developed or others expanded to meet consumer demand and thereby increase revenue and ridership. An aggressive sales promotion program in line with the objective to attract riders and hold their patronage has been implemented and refined over the past few years. Additional programs are constantly being developed to motivate con- sumers to use the system and to use it more often. An annual work plan for the office has been developed and shared with other Authority elements in an effort to guide the consumer-oriented actions of the office toward greater achievement in the area of patron services. The organization of the office was established and is constantly refined to achieve the consumer-related objectives of the office. Consumer Representatives, Transit Information, Consumer Research, Promotion and Information, Mer- ėhandising Sales, Charter Sales, Consumer Sales and Contract Sales are all devoted to bringing better service in a fully responsive w-ay to area reskients. Other consumer services have been initiated such as the "Where and When" program which brings sales and information staff into major activity and em- ployment centers to promote ridership and provide personalized, up-to-date sys- teni information to residents. An example of this approach is the college informa- tion program through which a booth is set up by information staff at college registrations to distribute transit information and sell tickets and tokens to students at particular schools. The office produces timetables for each college in the area with the specific routes and schedules to and from the campus. Each one carries the name and seal of the particular school. The Authority's "Omnibus" is operated by Consumer Representatives who travel to various locations throughout the transit zone to hear consumer com- plaints, suggestions and to help them with particular transit needs. Personalized timetables are offered to riders through couponed advertising and other promotion. The customer simply fills out a simple coupon telling w-here he or she wants to go. A timetable is then prepared clearly marking the routes and transfer points and the fare zones for that particular customers needs. To date, over 9,000 requests for personalized timetables have been filled and sent to customers. In addition, 247 ticket and taken outlets have been established throughout the transit zone for consumer convenience. Sales of fares from these outlets are running about 810 million per year. With the exception of the six manned in- formation and fare sales outlets, there is no direct cost associated with these sales operations. The Consumer Representative program offers consumers an opportunity for direct input into the service operation by providing them a voice within the structure of the Authority. These Consumer Representatives, who serve as om- budsmen for the patron, handle as many as 5,000 calls monthly, many of which are translated into direct action for service improvements. Additionally, the office has constantly improved the non-farebox revenue oppor- tunities for the Authority. Advertising and concessions operations brought in nearly $250,000 to the Authority in net revenue last fiscal year, as opposed to less than $140,000 brought in by the four former companies in the final year prior to takeover. This function has been handled by one Authority staff person who devotes less than a third of his time to the management of these programs. Additional programs are also being developed to increase that total revenue. The revenue producing activities of the office are operated on a profit and loss center basis in order to maximize efficiency and the returns to the Authority. The charter and contract sales section now account for better than $5 million in annual sales. In the first year after acquisition of the private companies, these PAGENO="0619" 1301 sections did 37% more business than the combined total of the four previous com- panies. This increase was achieved with 40% less staff than the combined four companies. In fiscal year 1974, the office did $5.2 million in sales against $4.4 million for the combined total of the previous owners. Of that $4.4 million, approximately $500,000 was from individual sightseeing ticket sales-an activity from which WMATA is legislatively barred. This increase in sales was achieved with a charter and contract sales staff that had been reduced by WMATA from 28 persons to 10, or a 42% reduction. The professional staff was reduced from 20 persons to 11. The net effect was a substantial personnel cost savings as well as an increase in the level of sales activity and profitability. Question 10. Please submit documentation of the correlation between ridership changes and marketing efforts. Answer. Prior to the Authority's acquisition of the four major bus operations in the metropolitan area in 1973, ridership had been consistently slipping down- ward. Since WMATA takeover the trend has been reversed and is now increas- ing at an annual rate of 7 percent. This is perhaps the most telling evidence of the success of the Authority's marketing program-since the Authority believes that better service, more reliable schedules, better routes, cleaner and more attractive buses, new bus shelters and stop signs, more courteous drivers, good promotion and better information distribution are all part of the marketing effort. Certainly each of these improvements have contributed to some degree in the successful attraction of riders to Metrobus. The means that the Authority has to compute ridership is such that it does not allow for a finite analysis of transit ridership, by either geography or market segments. Thus, it is difficult to make precise correlations between specific mar- keting programs and ridership. This is also compounded by the fact that there are so many intervening variables which impact ridership (i.e. holidays, weather, strikes, fare changes, etc.). WMATA is showing a system-wide increase in revenue and ridership in spite of a recent increase in fares. To conclude exact relationships with any specific promotional program and these general ridership increases would be at best circumstantial. We can on specific routes illustrate how a marketing effort has helped to achieve maximum ridership levels earlier than could normally be expected. Examples of this are: 20E- ( Former Trailways Service from Fairfax to Washington) Promotion of this service, which consisted of manning the Trailways buses prior to transfer to Metrobus with information personnel armed with promotional handout mate- rial and support posters, and notices in the buses, was so successful that since initiation of the service in April, 1975, three new buses have been added to this line to relieve the critical overcrowding. M-3-(Union Station-S. W. Mall Rush House Service Shuttle) The inauguration of this service was accompanied by a test promotional cam- paign to determine the effectiveness of various promotional techniques. This campaign employed direct mail along the rail commuter corridor; seat promo- tions on all trains coming into the city; distribution of information materials through citizen community groups along the corridor; use of print media- especially newspaper, production of a special pop-up map/timetal)le which was partially paid for by the sales of advertising space to AMTRAK; and special displays in Union Station. Ridership grew rapidly on this line to the point that within 3 months 80% of operating costs were being covered. On most of these buses standing loads are the normal case. This was a case of highly specialized target promotion which supported the premise that proper information is the best tool for selling transit. T-11- (New all-day and rush-hour service from P. G. County) Again, placement of good information on service in the hands of the right market segment increased ridership. Direct mail to an eight-block corridor (four blocks on each side of the line), posters, on-board information materials and some amount of localized radio commercial advertising helped to achieve maxi- mum standing loads on this line within 3 months of implementation. There are numerous other examples where individual lines, or combinations of lines have been promoted through direct mail, print advertising, handouts, broadcast media that reinforce the basic premise that if the population becomes educated through easy access to information about transit, and if they are moti- vated through promotion, they will use transit. PAGENO="0620" 1302 The measurement of the effectiveness of marketing efforts can be made dnly by looking at the sum total of the Authority~s efforts to gain acceptance for tran- sit in the marketplace. Question 11. How does the impact of national energy and transit policy figure as an input into the future marketing plans? Answer. The relatively recent developments in the energy field, particularly as they related to shortages and increased fuel costa,~fiave spurred marketing ef- forts in the transit industry to create a great level of awareness and acceptance of the transit alternative. As input into transit marketing programs, however, it is difficult to relate to national policy on both counts. Transit policy is at best erratic and multidirectional. National policy on energy is even less consistent and even more difficult to incorporate into long-term programming. The best that can be achieved in planning marketing programs in the long term is to hope to minimize the effect of national policy.

DODGE Chief of Det~gu cod Coot ttuEf `00 RALPH L WOOD Chief efOpestt~ooo cod Ma,ofooauue metro MEIIORANDUM TO: Chairman, Revenue and Operations Comrnittee SUBJECT: Proposed Promotional Fare Programs The promotional or incentive fare is an important tool for marketing public transit. Perhaps more than any other single marketing element, a properly conceived bargain fare can stimulate trial rides by current non-users of public transit. Good performance by the property can then convert them into steady, loyal customers. Bargain pricing during heavily promoted special "sales is the traditional device used by private retailers to cCax new customers into their estahl ishments. lore merchendise is moved at lesser profit per item. The objective cenerally is to induce the new customers, through quality in both product and service, into making return visits end engaging in acdi- tional transactions. The principle is fairly similar with regard to selling transit rides. The one huge difference is that there is no profit to be reduced--only a massive deficit to be considered. Therefore, a simple price incentive, while sufficient for the private retailer, does not appear to be sufficient in itself for the transit operator. Too modest a bargain would have no meaningful impact on ridersnip. Too big a price cut I:ould create an unacceptable increase in the operating aeficit. The transit operator needs to be more inventive in packaging his bargains. He must couple modest monetary incen- tives with something else to create a thing of value in the perception of customers and potential customers. And the perceived value, although tangible and even quantifiable from the vantage of the customer, must not provoke material reduction of gross revenues or significant expansion of oper- ating expenses. 1304 WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY 600 Fiflh Slreot, NW.. Woshinējton. D. C. 20031 (202) 637-1234 August 28, 1975 PAGENO="0623" 1305 This, then, is the challenge which this paper attempts to address. The recommendations contained hereafter suggest that WMATA put forward a thing of value as perceived by the customer, but the value is pegged only partially to price. The convenience factor, very important in the determination of value, should be a minimal cost item to the Authority. The big bargain for the customer is something WMATA can afford to relinquish: seats currently unoccupied during non-rush periods. Mindful that WMATA's dual objectives of increased rider- ship and controlled deficits are inherently conflicting wi~en applied to rush hour patronage, it is believed that the focus on non-rush use provides an important balance between service and cost. To the extent practicable, attempts have been made to quantify elements of anticipated cost based on some rather arbitrary assumptions. Efforts have also been made to identify forseeable problems, including those for which there appear to be no ready solutions. It is recommended that the promotional fare programs out- lined in this document be adopted by the Board of Directors on an experimental basis to permit practical evaluation over at least a six-month period leading to recommended modifications or improvements for inclusion in a permanent arrangement. It is further recommended that implementation commence January 1, 1976, allowing a four-month familiarization period for the general fare changes before introduction of another price-related program. Finally, it is recommended that an evaluation report be presented to the Board not later than June 15, 1976, to permit action on a permanent program by July 1, 1976. / J hn E. Warrington ( /~rector of Marke~y~'~ cc: Mr. Munsey Mr. Beatley Mr. White Mr. Tucker Mr. Coates PAGENO="0624" 1306 WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY PROPOSED PROMOTIONAL FARE PROGRAMS BACKGROUND: The June 25, 1975, report of the Board Fare Committee directed staff to study possible promotional fare programs and to submit a report to the Revenue and Operations Committee. The Chairman of the Board issued a public challenge to the Office of Marketing to develop one or more promotional fare programs. The Office of Marketing moved immediately to update its famil- iarity with promotional fare programs being offered, or which had been offered, by other transit properties throughout the nation. Some of these programs will be reviewed later in this report. It was evident that a major restructuring of the Netrobus fare system was imminent and tnat any such restructuring would have substantial impact on any proposed promotional fare program. Nonetheless, the office moved ahead with its promotional fare program evaluation and into specific program development, withholding recommendations until the fare restruc- turing was complete and adopted by the Board. The recommendations in this report take into account the revisions in the fare structure which go into effect September 1, 1975. The Office of Marketing conducted a series of workshops comprised of personnel from its Research, Consumer Sales, and Promotion and Advertising Sections, plus representatives of the Authority's advertising consultant. This group sifted through many promotional fare possibilities, most of which were dropped from consideration because of financial or operationai difficul ties. PAGENO="0625" 1307 -2- PROGRAMS OF OTHER TRANSIT AUTHORITIES The workshop group reviewed some twenty programs presently being offered by transit authorities. Although the names and some of the details differ, these programs generally can be categorized into four basic groups: Systemwide Flat Fares; Weekend Fares; Shopper Fares; and Weekly, Monthly, and Annual Passes. Some existing programs were analyzed quite thoroughly in the devel~oment of this report's recommendations. BOSTON offers an "Annual Pass," although it is merchandised on a monthly basis and only through a payroll deduction plan with major employers. Approximately 55 employers are now participating in the program with gross monthly sales exceeding 12,000 passes. A prime objective of the program is to increase the volume of up-front revenue collected at the beginning of each month. Boston has just received a DOT grant to study the feasibility of offering over-the-counter sales of the passes. This program has many features which appear to be adaptable and desirable for WMATA. PITTSBURGH offers a "Monthly Pass," which is merchandised through 56 outlets selling over-the-counter on a one per cent commission basis. Monthly sales total approximately 18,000 passes. Pittsburgh is just beginning to merchandise the pass through the payroll deduc- tion plan and currently has fourteen employers participating. This pass program requires use of cash in addition to the pass which has complicated the marketing effort and created problems with 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt.2 - 40 PAGENO="0626" 1308 -3- transportation personnel collecting the additional fare. The Pittsburgh experience provides m number of program facets that are helpful. It also sounds a warning about the operational problems of unnecessarily complicating the fare process. BALTIMORE provides a "Super Sunday Pass." This pass is sold by bus operators for 50 cents and is good for unlimited rides on a Sunday `iithin the base zone, with additional fare required for additional zones. The base Sunday fare is 30 cents. Since the inception of this program, Sunday revenues have held steady. The elimination of zone charges for non-rush rides under WMATA's new fare structure makes special Sunday treatment worthy of cons iderat ion. CHICAGO has offered the "Super Sunday Transfer" since June, 1974. This pass is sold on the bus for 70 cents and is good for unlimited rides throughout the system from 3:00 AM Sunday to 3:00 AM Monday. The Chicago Transit Authority reports rides are up 50 per cent, with a decline in revenue of approximately 10 per cent. Chicago tabulates rides and not pass sales, thus creating some distortion in the figures. The situation is compounded by the multicodal nature of Chicago transit. Chicago's prime objective was to increase rides, with revenue a secondary consideration. At WMATA, ridership and revenue would seem to require equal billing. OTHER PROGRAMS considered include Flat Fares, Dime Time, Free Fare Zones, Stop-Over Transfers, Weekly Passes and Half Fares. These programs were eliminated from consideration for a variety PAGENO="0627" 1309 -`4- of reasons, principally because they were either inequitable ma multi-jurisdictional operation or unrealistic in terms of the financial or operational impl icat ions. PROGRAM CONSTRA I NTS In sifting through numerous approaches for developing promotional fare programs for the Authority, a three-part general test was applied to all schemes in the early stages of consideration. Appr3aches that fell outside the guidelines of the test were dropped. The three principal constraints were: 1. The program must be reasonably equitable for all jurisdictions. 2. The program must be realistic in terms of future ridership distribution and impact on operating costs and revenues. 3. The program must be beneficial to the Authority as well as to the consumer. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES While the constraints exercised a vital negative influence over program selection, the positive influence was provided by three fundamental objectives established at the outset by the workshop groups. These objec- tives were: 1. Increase the perceived customer convenience and value. 2. Stimulate ridership, with emphasis on non-rush service. 3. Increase Authority revenue and hold program costs to a manageable minimum. PAGENO="0628" 1310 -5- PROPOSED PROMOTIONAL FARE PROGRAMS Many hours of spirited workshop sessions resulted in the combining of the best features of several programs into two basic approaches. They are new and they are tailored specifically to the Authority's operation. Since they are new, there is no true yardstick of prior or current exper- ience with which to gauge their potential. However, based on recorded experiences of properties util izing programs with similar elements, the two-part proposal appears to be fully implementable and financially responsible. These programs should be classified "experimental" and operated on at least a six-month trial basis to provide an opportunity to evaluate overall impact on ridership and revenue, immediate end long term. It is especially important to consider the long term impact since new riders acquired through the program may well become regular riders if they find the product to be satisfactory. The programs are presented and described separately. It is recommended, however, that they be considered as a package for offering to the public later this year and for implementation on January 1, 1976. *Although the principal bargain element of both programs is pitched at non-rush ridership and although both are built around a monthly pass concept, they are aimed at distinctly different markets--the rush hour commuter and the so-called base day customer. The names proposed for the passes were selected because they already have publ ic identity (song title and movie title) and acceptance, because they have descriptive and promotional value, and because they are easy to say and easy to remember. PAGENO="0629" 1311 -6- THE DAY TRIPPER (BASE-DAY PASS) This is a monthly pass valid to the bearer for unlimited rides within the entire transit zone during weekday non-rush hours and all day Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. NON-RUSH is defined as the hours from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM and 6:00 PM to 6:30 AM, Monday thru Friday, and all operating hours on weekends and holidays. The DAY TRIPPER pass would be color-coded and boldly imprinted with the MONTH and YEAR for which it is valid. The color selection would change each month but would always be visibly different from the colors chosen for the COMMUTER/BASE-DAY PASSES described in the next sect ion. A monthly charge of $16.00 is recommended for the DAY TRIPPER. This charge is calculated on two base zone (L~O~) rides per day times 20 days. Regulations printed on the pass would clearly state that it has no refund or replacement value. The pass would be available for purchase beginning on the first day of the preceding month through the tenth day of the val id month. It would be on sale over-the-counter at all Metro Sales Offices, Metro Division Offices, and by direct mail by means of a check or money order to the Secretary-Treasurer with receipt in that office no later than the 15th day of th~ preceding month (this time frame was established arbitrarily and may be adjusted). Once the worth of the program has been established, the Office of Marketing will initiate a follow-up effort to expand the merchandising of the pass through the more than 250 off-site ticket sales offices. PAGENO="0630" 1312 -7-- This effort could begin before completion of the evaluation period if early acceptance of the DAY TRIPPER clearly warrants. THE EASY RIDER (COMMUTER/BASE-DAY PAY) This is a monthly pass val id to the bearer for uni imited ridership during rush hour service within the number of fare zones purchased, and for unlimited ridership throughout the transit system during non-rush hour service. In addition, the pass would be valid for Family Sunday Rides (up to four persons). "RUSH HOUR" is defined as servl~e operated from b:jO AM to 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The charge for the EASY RIDER would be based on rides between the base zone and the furthermost zone for which the pass was purchased. Six color-coded passes would be required, one color for each zone (including B zone). The EASY RIDER eould be boldly imprinted ~:ith tOe MOMTH, YEAR and ZOtIE for easy identification. Charges would be computed on the basis of two peak fares daily times 20 days for each zone for which the pass would be valid (the Office of Marketing recognizes the break in the charge formula for the base D. C. zone which is recommended to provide a value/price separation from the DAY TRIPPER). Base Zone $lb.00 O Zone $2A.00 1st Zone 530.00 2nd Zone $36.00 3rd Zone $~2.00 Ath Zone $~8.oo The pass regLilations should clearly state that it has no refund or replacement value. Passes would he available for purchase beginning the first day of the preceding month through the tenth day of the valid month. PAGENO="0631" 1313 -8- They would be on sale over-the-counter at all Metro Sales Offices, Metro Division Offices, and by direct mail by means of a check or money order to the Secretary-Treasurer with receipt in that office no later than the 15th day of the preceding month (this time frame was established aroitrarily and may be adjusted). The follow-on promotion of the EASY RIDER would include a program for expanding the merchandising of the pass through the payroll deduction plan with government agencies and other major employers. This shoula not go beyond the exploratory stage until the program has permanent status. In pursuing tnis follow-on effort, the Office of Marketing would format a program for presentation, outlining the benefits for both the employer and the employee. develop an informational brochure containing the details of the plan, again for both the employer and the employee. supply the necessary subscription forms for implementing the program. a. Employee application cards b. Pass consignment sneets, for orders and accounting of revenue from pass sales c. Computer read-out sheets for monthly transactions An alternate plan would also be made available in the event the employers do not have computer capability. This would entail the direct sale of passes to the employees, with sales handled by a department in the firm or agency, such as the Credit Union, Personnel Office, or Administrative Services Office. The employees' appl icat ion cards and pass consignment sheets would be used with the alternate plan. PAGENO="0632" 1314 -9- BENEFITS TO THE AUTHORITY Some of the foreseeable benefits accruing to the Authority from these monthly pass programs are listed. 1. Will appreciably affect cash flow by providing up-front monies to the Authority thereby reducing the need somewhat for short-term borrowing. The net effect is savings to the Authority in interest payments. Some experience has been gained with generating front conies from the off-site ticket and token sales; however, the amount and duration of the prepayments are not as substantial as they could be from a onthly pass program. Revenue received from pass sales through the sales offices would accrue to the Authority on a monthly average of 20 to 25 days in advance of the ride. In fact, mail purchases ~ould start to provide revenue to the Authority as much as an additional 15 days before the pass is even val id. The full measure of the impact on cash flow and savings in interest payments will, of course, depend on the level of pass sales. 2. Will speed up passenger loadings which could impact oper- ations by providing better utilization of equipment and a consequent savings through operational efficiency. 3. Will reduce the present abuse of transfers by el imiratina the need for transfers for passholders thereby reducing the total number in circulation. i~. Will probably have some leveling effect on ridership in the rush hour by diverting some riders from peak load periods to non-rush ridership. This would create more comfort in rush hour periods and/or provide additional space to accommodate new riders. The hoped-for effect would be to increase total ridership with the major thrust during the base day. 5. Will guarantee the Authority revenue from a minimum of ~i0 rides a month from each passtiolder. This reduces the lost revenue from riders who occasionally drive, who are sick, or for whatever other reason they would not ride the full 20-22 working days each month. It will serve to flatten out the critical revenue dips which always accompany inclement weather. The marginal effects from this benefit could be substantial over the long run. PAGENO="0633" 1315 -10- 6. Will guarantee a certain amount of revenue each month from base-day operations which is now not predictable. The $16 a month base day pass guarantees the Authority revenue from ~O rides a month regardless of weather conditions or personal transportation choices by the consumer. 7. Will help attract new riders and increase the number of rides by present customers during other times of the day. 8. Will help expand the visibil ity and exposure of the transit service and help create a more positive public portrait of the Authority. 9. Will help reduce the amount of scrip issued. 10. Will assist bus operators in determining proper fare and reduce the amount of checking of the fare box for payment of correct fare. 11. Will provide broad promotional opportunities for increas- ing awareness of the transit alternate and a valuable tool for altering attitudes and behavior. 12. Will reduce the volume of cash in the fare box, facili- tate the accounting process and lessen the exposure of cash to theft or fraud. BENEFITS TO THE CONSUMER 1. Convenience and value, both of which should be readily apparent to the consumer. 2. Elimination of the exact fare problem for each ride. 3. Ejimination of frequent trips to outlets to purchase tokens and tickets. li. El iminat ion of the need for and bother of either transfers or scrip. 5. Ease of purchase by mail. 6. Ability to budget exact monthly transportation expenses with cancelled checks for accurate record-keeping. PAGENO="0634" 1316 7. A psychological prestige, as there is a certain degree of status indicated by purchasing the pass in advance that is not readily associated with the change fumbler. The passholder shows his pass end takes his seat, while other passengers pause at the farebox, wait for transfers, and possibly time-consuming scrip. 8. Substantial savings with frequent rides. The cost of the pass is based on 20 round trips per month, and the average number of working days per month is 22, over the period of a year. Therefore, the commuter saves at least two round trips per month, plus all added rides and weekeri service. 9. Opportunity for no-cost family transportation (or very low cost for large families) on Sundays for recreational, educational or cultural excursions anywhere within the service area. These are only partial listings and, of course, do not allude to the community benefits of lessened traffic congestion, pollution abatement and energy conservation associated with increased usage of public transpor tation generally. IDENTIFIABLE PROGRAM COSTS Some aspects of this proposal lend themselves to cost analysis. Others are not as clearly definable. But an attempt has been made to quantify the major areas of cost. Production - Several avenues are available for handling the production of the passes. A card can be printed by an involved silkscreening process which inhibits fraud but would require close examination by operators. The cost of this card would be 3.5 cents. A laminated plastic card can be obtained for 10 cents. The difficulty of printing on plastic requires a process which will make counterfeiting extraordinarily difficult, thus lessening the burden of inspection by the bus operator. Total production cost for 50,000 plastic cards would be $5,000 not including desigi costs. PAGENO="0635" 1317 -12- Distribution - Distribution would be made primarily through the Metro Sales Outlets and Metrobus Division Offices. The current staffing level is sufficient to absorb the anticipated pass sales. The over-the- counter sales may be augmented by direct mail distribution. A bonded fulfillment house would be the recommended approach for this portion of the total distribution. The costs involved would be: first class postage - 13 cents, registration of mail - 15 cents, and handling - $1,500 per month, plus an estimated $20 per 1,000 passes. At various levels of pass sales, the costs would approximate: Mail Costs: 1. l3f for First Class Mail 2. l5c~ for registering mail 3. Handling $1,500 plus $20/M Percentage of Passes Postage Handl ing Total Cost per Pass Average Price~~ 5M $l,tiOO $1,600 $3,000 60f 2.5~ lOM $2,800 $1,700 $Li,500 L15f l.9~t l5M $1~,2OO $1,800 $6,000 ~ l.7~ 20M $5,600 $1,900 $7,500 37.5~ l.6~ 30M $8,~O0 $2,100 10,500 35~ l.5~/~ ~4OM $11,200 $2,300 13,500 33.7Sf ~ 5011 $11i,000 $2,500 16,500 33 (~factored on an assumed average pass purchase price of $2$.00) Promotion - The pass program would significantly impact and bolster Metrobus promotion activities. No additional funds would be required for the program promotion. Administration - The sales outlets are currently being serviced weekly. Staff and internal audits occur monthly. The pass sales would fit this schedule and would require no additional personnel. PAGENO="0636" 1318 -13- Training of Personnel - The passes will be so identifiable and easy to use that bus operators would require no specialized trainina. No special capability would be required beyond that needed for normal fare collection supervision, except an awareness that the Authority is selling and honoring monthly passes. Actually, passes would simplify the operator's job. Opportunity Costs - Certainly the most difficult costs to quantify are opportunity costs. Passes allow for unlimited rides during the month. Tne purchase price of the commuter pass is equivalent to 11Q trips from a Maryland or Virginia zone to the District. The price of the base day pass is equivalent to 14Q intrastate or 27 interstate trips. For those persons who currently pay fares in excess of these amounts, their pass purchase would result in a personal savings end a consequent revenue reduction. No revenue would be lost through the forr~er non-riCer's excess use Of the service on a pass. New patrons attracted to Metrobus, and former irregular riders who increase their use of Metrobus because of the pass program generate compensating revenue to offset the excess use revenue reduction. The number of riders who would begin to use Metrobus as a result of the program is unknown. Similarly, it has not been determined how many current riders would increase their frequency of Metrobus use with a pass. However, research would be undertaken during the trial period to help determine the market impact of the monthly pass program. Although both the revenue reduction and the increased ridership are unknown, the relationship between them can be shown. It is important to emphasize that the new rider does not contribute an incremental cost because PAGENO="0637" 1319 no added service is anticipated. The purchase of a pass by a newly attracted patron compensates for the excess use revenue reduction by the number of inter or intrastate rides indicated in the table. For commuter passes, "pass zone" indicates the number of zones for which the pass would be valid. The "interstate" and "intrastate" columns show the number of rides for which compensation is made by the value of the pass. COMPENSATION FOR Pass Intrastate Interstate Zone Trips Trips Base 145 30 0 60 140 75 50 2 90 60 3 105 70 14 120 80 This means that for every person attracted to Metrobus by the pass program and who buys a zone 14 commuter pass, 120 people can exceed the 140 intrastate base day rides and ride 141 times at no cost to the Authority. If the pass purchaser previously rode half the time, the impact would be only half as great, compensating for 60 rides instead of 120 as in the example above. Carrying the relationship still further, the commuter from zone 14 who had been riding only half the time during rush hour but was paying for 60 rides during the base day, could buy a zone 14 pass with no revenue reduction to the Authority. Incidental Cost Avoidance - Ticket and transfer printing costs would be reduced. There would be reduction in scrip handl ing costs. Improper fare and unpaid fare costs would be reduced, along with a decrease in farebox revenue available to handling fraud. PAGENO="0638" 1320 -`5-- POTENTIAL PROBLEMS There are problems associated with any promotional fare program. Many potential problems have been pin-pointed and considered in developing these programs, although it is not practical to cover all of them in this report. Some, it will be noted, lend themselves to solutions. 1. It will be necessary to develop a formula for allocation of pass revenues to the jurisdictions, since it is not possible at this time to predict which of the jurisdictions will provide the greatest number of passholders. The Office of Marketing developed an allocation formula basea on the deficit allocation formula adopted by the Board, July 2~i, 1975. It is outlined in the ensuing paragraphs. The formula distinguishes between dedicated and non-dedicated revenue. These distinctions are significant to the pass revenue allocation. Dedicated revenue is allocated between the District of Columbia and either Maryland or Virginia. Allocating between Maryland and the District, Maryland receives the zone charges and the District receives the base fare. (Base-cay operation under the new fare system will result in tne District receiving ~ and Maryland 20f from each 60f fare.) iAllocating Virginia-District non-dedicated revenue will be on the basis of the ratio of passenger miles for the two jurisdictIons. (This ratio is currentlyunknown but is being calcu- lated using the May passenger survey data.) When passes are sold the jurisdiction of residence can be recorded. The DAY TRIPPER or base day pass is valid during the peri~d when the vast majority of trips generate non-dedicated revenue. For tnis reason, the purchase price ($16) of the base day pass purchased by a Maryland resident will be viewed as non-dedicated revenue applying to the Maryland-District of Columbia allocation ratio. This allocation formula for base-day is 2:1, District to Maryland. Revenue received when a Virginia resident purchases a DAY TRIPPER pass will be apportioned through the agreed to passenger mile ratio. PAGENO="0639" 1321 -16- The EASY RIDER or commuter pass contains the same riding privileges as the base-day pass plus rush hour and Sunday family features. The value of the commuter pass is then $16 for the base pass (viewed as non-dedicated revenue) and a rush hour balance which should be dedicated revenue for Maryland and Virginia purchasers. This is due to the preponderance of dedicated service operating during the rush hours. District of Columbia residents purchasing a conimuter pass will have systemwide privileges during the base day. For this reason, District pass revenue should be allocated on the basis of District resident travel patterns. The proportion of travel by District residents inside the District compared to rides in other jurisdictions will be available through the May passenger survey. Because the District and Virginia allocations are based on the survey data which is not yet tabulated, only Maryland allocation figures can be cited by way of example. ALLOCATION 1:2 Zone 1 ~~iyjand District District Pass Price $30.00 Base Day 16.00 5.33 10.67 Dedicated 1~4.O0 l~i.OO Total Revenue $19.33 $10.67 36$ Zone 2 Pass Price $36.00 Base Day 16.00 5.33 10.67 Dedicated 20.00 20.00 Total Revenue $25.33 $10.67 3O°i~ Zone 3 Pass Price $~2.00 Base Day 16.00 5.33 10.67 Dedicated 26.00 26.00 Total Revenue $31.33 $TO~7 25~«= Zone ~ Pass Price $148.00 Base Day 16.00 5.33 10.67 Dedicated 32.00 32.00 Total Revenue $37.33 $10.67 22~ PAGENO="0640" 1322 -17- The example shows that the District allocation of the pass revenue is unchanged by the zone of purchase. This reflects the agreement that the District of Columbia would receive the base fare with the zone charges going to Maryland. The example also shows that as the distance of the trip in Maryland becomes longer, the percentage of revenue going to the District decreases. This same juris- dictional equity will exist with the Virginia and District allocations when the passenger mile ratios become available. 2. It is possible that the Authority could experience a loss of revenue with the programs, but there are no solid indi- cators at the present time that can be used as a basis for evaluation. However, as the programs are classified "experimental," if the revenue diversion from the cash customer to the passnolder is determined excessive, an adjustment in the price of the pass is possible. It can be assumed that most passengers mill not ride all 22 days per month, and with the initial investment of the pass received up-front, this added revenue may offset possible loss of revenue due to diversion. 3. It is recognized that there will be pass abuse with those programs. This potential problem is not likely to come from school-age children, particularly with the special school fares. The only students that could benefit from the programs are those living in the suburbs and attendine school in the District. Acults could share the passes with others. However, although another person uses the pass, revenue has already been receivea and the seat paid for. The most serious misuse would involve an out-the-windo.-: loan, conceivably permitting multiple use of the sane pass on the same bus. It is felt that the amount of investment required fora pass will, in itself, deter indiscriminate changing of hands at bus stops. )4~ There could be some ir,itial problems with the operators in determining the color codes of the passes for the ~orrect fare zones. This potential problem could be overcome by providing an operator training course prior to the start-up of the programs, using the color-coded passes and charts as training materials. Fare zone colors would remain constant, however, and operator recognition would soon be automatic. There are several potential problems relevant to internal procedures and operations: PAGENO="0641" 1323 -18- a. Security on the printing contractor of passes to guarantee there is no overprint of passes. This was discussed with Secretary-Treasurer's Office. It was reported they never experi- enced a problem with printing contractors in the past or with the commuter ticket books. b. Proper storing and hand 1 ing of the passes. This problem would be lessened with the num- bering of the passes which would provide accountability and a control ledger. c. Check should be made to determine that all personnel involved in handling and disbursing the passes are bonded by the Authority. 6. Due to the Sunday family privileges with the EASY RIDER commuter pass, there could be soee distortion of passenger ridership/revenue figures. However, this is the same problem that is created by the use of the new Keane Automatic Fare Collection System. The pass program would require just one more assumption. 7. There are problems with fraud and loss associated with the sale of passes through the mails. Therefore tight constraints will be required to administer the program with minimal loss to the Authority. Two alternatives exist for the handling of the sale of passes through the mail. The first, handl ing it in-house, presents a number of drawbacks from the standpoint of internal costs of man- power and equipment. Some of the other problem areas are identified below without.attendant solutions. a. Problem of receiving the pass request and check from the customer after the 15th day of the preceding month. If the request is processed and the pass mailed out to the customer and it is not received by the first day that it is effective, dissatisfaction will result. This could be a severe problem if it occurs on any sizeable scale. b. A customer sends in his request and check for a pass. The pass is mailed back to the customer and check deposited. Then the customer contacts the office and states that he did not receive his pass. 62-418 0 - 76 - Pt. 2 - 41 PAGENO="0642" 1324 -19- c. There is the potential problem of delay in processing the request and possible misnandi ing of the mail in-house, which would result in the pass being received after the effective date. d. Mailing the passes by registered mail, return receipt requested, would deter mail fraud; however, this is logistically and economically infeasible. e. In researching the mail fraud potential, the Postal Inspectors Office was quite unenthusi- astic about merchandising the passes by mail, as loss is very high for this type of program. In view of these potential problems and costs it is proposed the mail fulfillment aspects of the program be handled by an experienced, bonded mail fulfillment contractor. This would not only eliminate the need for additional personnel and reduce money handling and accounting, it would allow the Authority flexibility in determining whether or not to continue with this aspect of the pass program, after an evaluation period, without having to risk investment in personnel and equipment. In the long run, it also appears a fulfillment house would be more economical than establishing an in-house operation since their costs are spread over a number of clients, therefore, making the cost per thousand for handling less to the Authority. A cost estimate for the program is provided earlier in this report. This approach seems to be a potentially effective way of offering the advantages of mail sales to the consumers and avoiding some of the more heady problems involved. PAGENO="0643" 1325 -20- MERCHANDISING THE PROGRAMS Promotional opportunities for these programs are abundant. It is neither practical nor is it especially helpful for the Office of Marketing to spell out a detailed merchandising plan until all details of the pass programs are determined. But any promotional fare program with consumer benefits as those outlined in this report lends itself to widespread publicity potential as well as advertising in all major media. The Office of Marketing proposes to suggest identification symbols for the two pass programs which would lend themselves to interesting graphic treatment in all promotion efforts. Present thinking of the participants of the workshops leans toward a somewhat humorous theme in order to make the program more people-oriented and memorable. The goal is to get people to talk about the programs and if they have fun talking about them, all the better. INTERFACE OF PROGRAMS WITH METRORAIL Staff recognizes that this report does not discuss the interface of the programs with Metrorail. With the various intangibles of the Metrorail operation, it is not practical to pursue the potential problems and resulting impact of the extension of the programs at the present time. There is no doubt that the interface of the programs ~:ith Metrorail would greatly increase the promotional benefits. Therefore, when the Metrorail operation is firm and the fare system resolved, a study will be made to evaluate the feasibility of providing this interface and the resulting impact of this action on ridership and revenue. PAGENO="0644" 1326 -21- As the programs are classified experimental,' corrective action is possible in order to compensate for any existing inadequacies in the programs, as determined from study and experience. SUMMARY The Office of Marketing believes the promotional fare programs out- lined in this report are sound, incorporate the best features of programs in other cities, offer a real advantage to the consumer, and offer the Authority an opportunity to increase both r~dership and revenues. There are potential problems, to be sure, but it is felt that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Some of the problems have been resolved, with other problems to be resolved, and there are some that may never be fully resolved. Close coordination of the offices directly involved and full commitment of those offices to the ultimate success of the promotional fare endeavor will go a long way toward mini- mizing the impact of any lingering difficulties. This report covers a promotional fares package that should exert very positive impact in the marketplace. It demonstrates to the citizens of the region that ~/MATA cares about them, wants their business, and will do something new and bold to attract and hold them as customers. It is an offering of value for the consumer with a commensurate benefit to the Authority. PAGENO="0645" V,p,~ ~ FRANCIS W. WHITE EVERARD MUNSEY WALTER E. WASHINGTON DUtEEI ~t CRIt~tt~bA CLEATUS E.

Is another survey contemplated? YES - It can be assumed that the present ridership distribution is the same as the ridership distribution experienced in 1972. A change in fares was recently implemented by the Authority which may have changed the ridership distribution. This change affected the periods at which time the peak/off-peak fares change. Since a peak/off- peak fare differential was implamented on September 1, 1975, riders able to take advantage of the off-peak may have changed their times in order to pay the lower off-peak fare. In addition, since work hours for most people are not flexible, it is unlikely that the ridership distribution has changed significantly. A study, to determine ridership distributions by hours of the day, would be very costly and require a substantial number of manhours. Due to this, another survey of this type is not contemplated in the near future. PAGENO="0666" 1348 Page 2 14* These data are not maintained on a regular basis by public or private transit systems.

The AutHority acquired the four private transit companies in early 1973 (January and February). For calendar year 1972, ridership of 124,069,000 and revenue of $55,971,617 as reported by the private companies, represents the last full year of operation. During the first 12 complete months of operation by the Authority, (3/1/73 - 2/28/74) , passenger revenues amounted to $54,099,932 compared to $55,971,617 received by the private companies, a difference of $1 ,87l ,685. The reduction in revenue was caused by actions taken by the WMATA Board to unify fares. These actions included: 1. Elimination of interline transfer charge 2. Extension of senior citizen reduced fare to all jurisdictions. Previously only in effect in areas served by the former D.C. Transit System, Inc. 3. Reduction of the District fare in areas served by former WMA Transit Co. to fare charged by former D.C. Transit System, Inc. (WMA fare in the District was reduced by the Authority to 4D~). 4. Equalizing fares charged in areas served by the former WV&M Coach Co. (Arlington and North Fairfax County) to fares charged by the former AB&W Transit Company Alexandria and South Fairfax County). This equalizing of fares in Virginia resulted in a net annual loss of PAGENO="0670" $600,000 in passenger revenues fares were effective 6/1/73. Adjusting the first 12 complete months of revenue received by the Authority for revenue losses due to changes in the Authority fare structure, resulted in the following: Total 1972 Revenues Difference Percentage Difference A A comparison of ridership reported for 1972 and the Authority for the operation show the following: Ridership 1972 (Private Companies) Ridership 3/1/73 - 2/28/714 (WMATA) Difference Percen tage 1352 to the Authority.

The interl me fare provided for a discount of 5 cents when transferring from one company bus to another, therefore, based on the minimum fare in effect (~~O cents), an interline rider would have to pay at least 35 cents when boarding the second bus. When dividing the 35 cents into the revenue difference of $l,295,1486, the interline ridership amounts to 3,701,389. The difference in ridership as shown above amounts to 7,260,000; therefore, it must be assumed that in estimating annual ridership the private companies, aside from double counting interline riders, overstated ridership by 3,559,000 riders. Ridership counts were taken very infrequently by the private companies, therefore, average fares used by the companies to determine ridership could at anytime become distorted, resulting in an overstate- ment of ridership. The Authority, since takeover, has conducted ridership counts in l97L~ and 1975. These counts included the counting of all riders board- ing and paying a full fare. Transfer riders were not counted. Counts were conducted on six different weekdays, three Saturdays and Sundays. It is therefore the opinion of the Authority that ridership reported by the private companies was overstated by at least 5.85% (l2L~,069,000 vs. 116,809,000). This percentage does not consider any growth by the Authority from the date of takeover to the end of the first 12 months of operation. During this period time, however, the Authority did have a ridership growth, which can be substantiated by the increase in revenues collected in FY 75 over FY 7/4 as shown below: PAGENO="0672" Ridership Calendar Year 1968 Ridership Calendar Year 1969 Ridership Calendar Year 1970 Ridership Calendar Year 1971 Ridership Calendar Year 1972 Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/74 Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/75 Ridersh ip 147,513,000 138,601 ,000 128,802,000 121,303,000 116,811 ,000 116,809,000 122,842,000 Percent Increase (Decrease Over Previous Year) -0- (6.o4~) (7.

The long-term effect on transit due to the deletion of a proposed highway segment is a two-edged sword. The projected land use development may be decreased if a proposed major traffic facility is deleted and thus the total number of person trips in the corridor may decrease. However, the deletion of the highway link will also directly lead to a higher proportion of the remaining trips being on transit. In most cases, the sum of the effects leads to a net increase in transit ridership (especially in areas where there is a developed land use plan which is somewhat independent of traffic facilities provided).

Please submit your comment on the CBO analysis in general and this point in particular. The Congressional Budget Office report provides an analyses of alternative fiscal futures under various sets of alternatives. Their base case in most comparisons was published WMATA data. While one may disagree with some.of the assumptions, the report provides a range of possible fiscal impacts. With regard to the specific question on the suggestion that Metro ridership may be 15 percent too high, we agree with the CBO statement that .Metro ridership is sensitive to residential and employment densities.. In each of our studies, WMATA has gone to great lengths to use the latest adopted land use for the Washington area (as provided by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments). If actual land use at some future date differs considerably from what was projected, Metro ridership forecasts will vary -- up or down -- depending upon the revised land use forecasts. PAGENO="0678" 1360 November 2~4, 1975 Request 19714 Net Income Analysis Question 7: How much of the seven percent ridership increase would you attribute to the 600 new buses, and the increased size of the fleet? The Authority has now operated Metrobus service for two full fiscal years. During the first fiscal year ended 6/30/714, ridership totaled ll6,8//,c~o. In the second fiscal year ended 6/30/75, ridership totaled l22,814~,~u~ for a 5.l6~ increase over the previous year. Based on current ridership, the Authority estimates that fiscal year 1976 ridership will total 127,500,000. This amounts to a 3.795~ increase over FY 75 ridership and a 9.l5~ increase over FY 714 ridership. Prior to takeover of the private companies by the Authority, transit ridership in the Washington Metropolitan Area had been declining each year. Since takeover, the Authority has stopped the steady decline in ridership and has increased ridership significantly through new service and good, efficient and convenient service. In 19714, the Authority purchased and placed into service 620 AM General Buses. One hundred of these buses were placed into service to eliminate overcrowded conditions which existed on certain routes. One hundred fifty-one (151) buses were placed into service providing new service in areas where ridership potential existed and appeared sufficient to justify the new service. The remaining 369 AM General Buses were used as replacements for older buses thus providing greater operating efficiency and more attractive and dependable service. Since ridership, prior to takeover by the Authority, had been steadily declining, the increase in ridership in FY 75 over FY 74 of 5.l6~ can be attributed mainly to the new service implemented by the Authority in April (100 buses) and September (151 buses), 1975. However, more reliable service, more courteous drivers, cleaner buses and.other such service improvements have also been effective. PAGENO="0679" 1361 November 21+, 1975 Request Net Income Analysis The attached report covers questions 1, 3 and 5. PAGENO="0680" 1362 REPORT IN BRIEF SUMMARY The objective of this report is to update two prior forecasts of the financial implications of rapid rail transit implementation in the Washington, D. C. area. The 1969 and 1971 reports indicated that the bus and rail sys- tems could be expected to earn sufficient net revenues from operations to pay for a portion of the METRO construction costs. The results in the prior studies were based on the premise that fares would be increased at the same rate as operating costs. However, in this update, the assumed fare levels have not been increased by the amount nec- essary to match rapidly rising energy and manpower costs. Of the three fare systems analyzed in this study, only one can be expected to show a positive net revenue from operations. One system would never showan op- erating surplus, and another might generate modest profits after the year 2013. In no case would revenues exceed operating costs during the early years of rail operations. In 1990, the design year for the rail system, the annual bus and rail ridership is estimated to be between A57 million and 1i8~i million riders,.an increase of approximately one-third over the 1971 estimates. The gross revenues would be $223 million for the lowest fare alternative and $308 million for the highest fare system. The range of estimated operating costs (bus plus rail) is $287 million to $297 million. The first two fare systems would show operating deficits of $A.3 million and $73.0 million; the third would show a profit of $20.2 million. The projections for the full period from 1977 to 2020 are based on new land use forecasts prepared by the Council of Governments, and a rail implementation schedule leading to full system operations by July 15, 1982. REGIONAL GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS Continuing growth in the Washington area is assumed, but at a rate some- what less than that used in the prior update. The compact area population assumed for this study is 3.93 million compared to A.95 million in the 1971 study. Overall the number of households in the study area is projected to increase by 5l~ between 1972 and 1990, and employment- by 5O~«= to a 1990 - employment level of 2.1 million. TRANSIT AND HIGHWAY SYSTEMS - Transit patronage is heavily dependent on the relative levels of highway and transit service. This study has assumed that between now and 1990 sev- eral new freeway segements would be built including 1-66 inside the Beltway, a major portion of the Outer Beltway, and further additions to the Potomac and Inner Loop Freeways in the District of Columbia. PAGENO="0681" 1363 The heart of the transit system will be the 98-mile Authorized Regional System adopted in 1968 and subjected to some minor modifications Since that time.!! An extensive bus system consisting of 236 lines operating 240,000 vehicle-miles daily in 1990 was assumed to feed and complement METRO. The first stage of the Fort Lincoln people mover was also assumed. At 32 of the METRO stations, parking lots able to accommodate a total of 25,000 cars have been assumed. Parking charges for park/ride trips were set at 50 cents to one dollar. Also, 21 fringe parking lots remote from the rail system were assumed, as a necessary supplement to handle the anticipated overload at METRO station lots. Commuter'rail lines feeding METRO in 5 cor- ridors with further parking facilities were also included in the 1990 transit system developed for the analysis. ALTERNATIVE FARE SYSTEMS The impacts of three alternative fare systems were studied and summarized for the complete financial planning horizon. The first fare system charges separate fares on bus and rail. The base fare on bus is 25 cents, with 15 cent charges at approximate 3-mile zone intervals. The rail base fare of 25 cents covers the first three "composite miles"!! and additional miles cost 5 cents. The second fare system uses the same basic rates, but allows free transfers between all vehicles. The third fare system is similar to the second, but assumes higher basic rates of 40, 20 and 7 cents, respectively. The above fare values have been expressed in 1976 constant dollars, the unit for all dollar values.in this report. It should be noted that the fares for none of~these assumed systems have increased over the prior studies to the same extent that basic transit unit operating costs have increased. The bus fares are assumed to be collected with modern conventional fare boxes; automated equipment is assumed for the rail system. At the time, these es- timates were prepared, the machinery permitting joint bus-rail rides had not yet been fully considered. REGIONAL TRAVEL FORECASTS The Council of Governments had the responsibility in this study for pre- paring 1992 forecasts of transit usage. These estimates were then altered to 1990 levels and adjusted to be commensurate with prior work. The daily and annual ridership generated by the three fare systems is presented in Table S-I along with the average system fares. In these estimates the proportion *of On December 30, 1975, the WMATA Board of Directors approved the first major extension to the ARS since adoption in 1968, a 2-to-3 mile extension from Rockville to the proposed Shady Grove Station.

Correspondingly, the percentage of trips in the peak hour is forecast to de- cline from l8.ti?«= in 1968 to l7.l9~. The ridership estimates were projected from 1976 to 2020 following re- gional growth patterns and the implementation schedule for rail operations. A 2020 population of 5.9 million was assumed, based on a conservative trend analysis of jurisdictional growth forecasts. Table S-2 indicates the annual ridership trends for the three fare systems. A set of separate computations of travel by tourists, commuters living outside the study area, and travel to and from intercity rail, bus and airline terminals indicate an additional 17.8 to 19.5 million trips in 1990. This ridership estimate has also been pro- jected over the financial planning period and included in the revenue fore- 1990 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS This study has assumed that bus and rail systems would be completely coordinated under WMATA operation. Separate estimates of bus and rail op- erating costs were prepared for each fare system for each fiscal year from 1977 to 2020. A slight deviation from the prior studies was to identify separately those expense items which could not be allocated to either bus or rail, but which will be part of WMATA's operation. Several offices such as the general manager and general counsel have been included in this category along with other functions related to marketing, personnel, and public re- lations. The expenses in this category were estimated to be $3.1i million in 1990. It is assumed that the rail service will operate 20 hours daily from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Peak period trunk line headways will be at 2 minutes, Z} minutes on certain branches. In the midday trains would operate at 3 and 6 minute intervals. Buses have been scheduled to meet the estimated demands on a line-by-line basis, with minimum service levels set as a policy for light volume lines. The 81-passenger rail cars will be scheduled to eliminate standees during the off-peak, but to allow for maximum loadings of 175 persons par car in the rush hours. The buses have been assumed to contain an average of 50 seats, with maximum loading of l20~ of seats in the peak hours. Spare vehicle. requirements were set at 8.5'~ for rail and l0~ for bus. The labor rates used are those estimated to be in effect during mid-1976. Material costs have also been escalated from their l97~ values so that all expenses would be in terms of 1976 constant dollars. The rail costs and administrative and general costs were estimated in detail for 1990 by func- tional area. To allocate bus operating costs more representatively to in- dividual routes, a four factor unit-cost model was developed from bus expense summaries for fiscal 19714, the first full year of unified METROBUS operations. The model parameters were also escalated to 1976 levels.

The basic patronage forecast includes the trip estimates prepared by COG, along with the adjustments made to allow comparisons with the previous studies. The supplemental category includes tourist travel, non-resident commuter travel, travel to and from intercity transportation terminals, charter and contract revenues, and parking at METRO stations. The trend in net revenues by fare system for the financial planning per- iod is summarized in Table S-u. Fare system would produce a net deficit from operations until 2001. After 2013 a net surplus could be assumed. The second fare system, because of the low fare charges and free transfer privi- leges, would never generate an operating surplus. In the long run, each additional rider would cost more to serve than could be recovered from the farebox. The third fare system would begin to show an operating surplus beginning in FY 1983. There are criteria other than financial which must be used to develop a suitable fare structure. These include maintaining equity amongst the users, service to the transit dependent population, the reduction of auto- mobile travel, and improving the quality of the environment amongst others. The results in this report have indicated the financial and patronage im- pacts for three distinct fare alternatives.

C. metropolitan area. To meet this objective, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority engaged Alan M. Voorhees & Associates (AMy). in 1955, the U.S. Congress authorized studies which led to the formation of the National Capital Transportation Agency (MCTA) a temporary federal agency formed to plan and develop the rail system. As a result of the studies conducted by NCTA, the decision was made to proceed with implementation of the regional rail transit system. Congres- sional legislation and the compact among the -various local jurisdictions, establish-cl in 1966, the Washington lletropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) charged with the task of planning and constructing the METRO rail system. This charge included both physical and financia.l planning for the system. - One of the first efforts conducted by WMATA was a 1968 analysis of Traffic, Revenue and Operating Costs for the proposed system. The purpose of that study was to determine how many patrons would use the system in each year of operation through 2020, how much revenue would be generated, the re- lationship of revenues to operating costs, the amount of revenue which would be available to repay bonds issued for system construction, the amount of capital costs which would not be recovered from operating revenues, the al- location of these costs among the various jurisdictions and the impact of the METRO rail system on the then privately-owned bus companies. The major finding of that study was that fare-box revenues, if fares were increased at the same rate of operating costs, would be sufficient not only to pay for system operation, but also ~o cover a substantial portion of system capital costs. In 1971, a second analysis of system traffic, revenue and operating costs was conducted. This study was initiated because. planning efforts by other agencies had indicated shifts from the projections utilized in the 1968 analysis in projected population and employment levels for the 1990 design PAGENO="0691" 1373 year. Further, it had become apparent thdt both system construction and operating costs would be higher than anticipated in 1968. The projected fare level and ridership, however, were also significantly higher than in the 1968 study, yielding a favorable financial forecast. The timing of the stidy presented in this report was determined by the compact establishing WHATA which called for a review of system costs, and the allocation among jurisdictions, prior to five years after initiation of construction (December 9, 1974). Several other factors also suggested the need for *a new study. By 1973, WMATA had been authorized to operate the transit systems in the Metropolitan area and had completed purchase and consolidation of the previously privately-owned bus systems. Operating costs had continued to rise, but there had been no increase in fares. The Council of Governments had not only prepared new estimates of design year population and employment, but had also developed a new procedure for forecasting transit patronage. . Each of these items suggested the need for a complete re-analysis of both METRO rail and full transit system traffic, revenue and operating costs V over the design period. SCOPE OF THE STUDY In 197475 analysis of WMATA projected patronage and net revenue began with a complete review of anticipated regional land use and travel patterns and new projections of transit travel for the year 1992. These activities were carried out by the Council of Governments (COG). In this projection of transit use, COG took account of the adopted regional highway plan, as well as the planned METRO rail and bus services. Review of prior forecasts and design of a feeder bus system to complement rail operations preceded the forecasting of transit patronage. Three separate transit patronage fore- casts were made - one for each of three assumed METRO fare systems composed of different levels of fares and strictures for assessing charges. The COG transit patronage forecasts for 1992 were then adjusted back to 1990 so that they might be comparable with the prior WMATA analysis. For each fare structure revenues, were computed based on the number of riders and the fare system. In addition, rail and bus operations required to serve the projected patronage were determined, and operating costs were estimated based on current WMATA experience for bus services and on anticipated requirements for the rail services. The patronage, revenue, and operating cost estimates for 1990 were then used as a basis for financial analysis fromopening of the system in 1975 through to the year 2020. This required analysis of areas served as each construction phase was completed, shifts between bus and rail travel and V the potential for growth beyond 1990. PAGENO="0692" 1374 For the cost analysis, a projection was made of cost escalation from the 197~# study year through 1976. Beyond 1976, however, all cost and re- venue analyses were carried out in terms of 1976 constant dollars with no differential between fire and operating cost escalation. The results of the financial analysis were presented at the WHATA-sponsored Airlie House Con- ference in November, l97L~. During 1975, supplemental analysis and docun~en- tation took place. In addition to the overall system analysis, the study also developed data for the various elements contained in the system cost allocation formula specified in the WMATA compact. The final purpose of the study was to up- date data for the planning and design of stations and routes based on the revised land use forecasts prepared by COG. The following chapters in this report summarize the resultsof each major stage of the analysis in the sequence in which they were carried out. A series of nine working papers prepared for this project describe the methodology and results in more detail. The land use and travel demand fore- casts are described in documents prepared by or for COG. A complete list of these sources is contained in Appendix B. . - PAGENO="0693" 1375 NOTE: Chapter II, which follows, is in draft form. A completed final version has been promised by COG for inclusion in the final report. PAGENO="0694" 1376 CHAPTER II - FUTUI~E LAND USE ZiND HIGHWAY SYSTE~1 A. -FUTURE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) was responsible for preparing regional land use activity forecasts for 1990. During 1972 COG had prepared a series of incremental land use forecasts using a mathematical computer-based model known as EMPIRIC.1 The modal assumed an economic forecast of total regional growth in terms of land activity, and predicted by small area, the change in shares of growth for households and jobs during that growth period, the allocation of activity growth was influenced by various assumed policies affecting growth among which was the projected long range highway and transit system. The forecasts used in this study are focussed on an Empiric run known as Alternative 6.2. Transportation facilities were assumed to be tbo~ ~n~odied in the adnptnc~ Long Range Transaortation Plan for the National Capial Region2 Ge~ierally, the plan assumed construction of the Adopt~d Regional Transit System (98miles) plUs extensions then planned by %`ThIATA. The highway system was projected to comprise several additional major freeways such as the Outer Beltway and the completion of Interstate 66. This major increase in the quality of the transportation system resulted in substantial increases in forecasted suburban growth. This particular forecast was the latest in a series of EMPIRIC model runs, and the results were extensively reviewed by COG and its member 1 `Empiric" Activity Allocation Model Application to the Washington Metropolitan Region.

As ~ result of these reviews, a joint resolutioh was passed3 by COG's Land Use Policy Committee and the Transportation Planning Board. In effect this resolution authorized the use of Alternative 6.2 modified results except where local governments provided their own forecasts. The projections used in this study incorporated those local modifications ahd the resultant set of numbers is known as 6.2 modified. These projections were then reduced slightly to reflect anticipated 1990 conditions. Table 1 summarized the set of forecasts used in the Net Income Analysis Study. Significant increases in population and employment were forecasted for the WMATA transit zone. Table 2 summarizes the projected growth in activity betweei~ 1972 and 1990. Since the technical analyses for the NIA Study was initiated in early 1974, the Alternative 6.2 modified forecasts have bean re-evaluated in the light of markedly decreased growth rates. A revised set of forecasts is again being developed at COG as part of the Cooperative Forecasting Process.4 Early indications are that the revised forecasts for 1990 will be substantially lower than those previously developed for planning purposes idantified as Alternative 6.2 modified. 3 4 PAGENO="0696" 1378 TABLE 1 -LAND USE ACTIVITY FORECAST (6.2 NOD) FOR 1990 LAND USE ACTIVITY FORECAST * 1 jurisdiction households Population Virginia . .

FUTURE HIGH~1AY SYSTEM ASSUMPTIONS . . In order to predict the future choice between the automobile and transit it is necessary to have an estimate of the characteristics of travel by the two modes. The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments had responsibility for preparing a computerized network which represented an estimate of average travel times in 1990 on major facilities. As part of its mandate for regional transportation planning, the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board adopted a Long Range Plan in June 1973. A report5, fully documents all of th~ highway and transit elements whcih comprise the plan. The plan represents a substantial investment both -in met~orail and in major highways. Figures 1 and 2 depict the new highway facilities which are assumed operational in 1990. The computerized network was developed to represent an estimate of peak period travel conditions which would occur on the system as planned. In suranary, the NIA highway network assumed the implementation of all of the highway elements of the Long Range Plan as it existed in mid-1974. It should be noted that since that time the T?B has taken action to emend the plan by deleting Interstate 66 as a - major Freeway inside the Capital Beltway. Furthermore the District of Co.urnbia is considering the possible withdrawal of additional - - Interstate freeway elements as shown in the Plan. 5 A Long Range Transportation Plan for the National Capital Region, June 20, 1973.

Higher levels of service - more route coverage, greater frequency - is attractive to the public resulting in more riders and higher fare box revenues. Provision of higher service levels, however, results in higher operating costs. Thus, the transit service, rail and bus, assumed for patronage, revenue and operating cost analysis must be realistic in terms both of providing service to attract riders and of re- presenting a cost commensurate with the ridership gen~rated. AUTHORIZED REGIONAL SYSTEM (ARS) In 1968, VIMATA adopted a 98-mile regional rail transit system which, with minor liodifications, is now under construction. This system is officially designated as. the Authorized Regional System (ARS). The basic service patterns to be offered have been analyzed in detail by WMATA, resulting in the following assumed operation, illustrated in Figure 111-1: * Rockville-Glenmont Line--would operate from Rockville, Maryland, to Glenmont, Maryland, via Bethesda, to the downtown Washington central businesd district, Union Station, and Silver Spring. o Vienna-New Carrollton Line--would operate from Nutley Road in Fairfax County, Virginia, to New Carroilton, Maryland, via Rosslyn, the northerly river crossing, and the downtown central business district. o Huntington-Addison Road Line--would operate from Huntington in Northern Virginia to Addison Road in Prince Georges County, Maryland, via the Pentagon, Rosslyn, the northerly river crossing, and the downtown central business district. The portion of line from Rosslyn to the Anacostia River is jointly used with the Vienna- New Carro-lton line. o Greenbelt Road-Branch Avenue, Franconia, and SDrincfield Line--would operate from Greenbelt Road in Maryland, south via Gallery Place and L'Enfant Plaza in the central businesd dis- tract.

Off-peak service to most stations varies from every 3 to 6 minutes in the midday to every 5 to 10 minutes in the early morning and late evening. ARS Operation Schedule For purposes of this net revenue analysis, it was assumed that the ARS would be constructed and put into operation in eight phases, the first beginning June 30, 1975 and the last on July 15, 1981. Table Ill-I in- dicates the extent and duration of each phase. ~ ot the sun ..~cho~J~icic gJ~.n Jr `Thaptcr Vi Parking Facilities The private automobile used for both park-and-ride and kiss-and-ride tripswill be the access mode for many trips made on the METRO rail system. in recognition of this fact, design of the system has included the provision of patron parking lots at 32 locations providing 25,000 spaces. Table Ill-Il below, presents the parking spaces planned for each station and the parking cost assumed in the study for purposes of estimating use of parking facilities and the revenue generated. ASSUMED BUS SERVICES Bus operations not only will serve as the rail access mode for 6o~ of all rail trips, but it will also serve those transit trips which do not make use of the METRO rail system. As such, the bus network is an integral part of the total regional transportation network. Obj ec t ives The primary objectives in the development of the 1990 bus-routing net- work were to: o Link the residential areas with the rapid-rail system o Link outlying shopping and business centers with the surrounding residential area ~ Provide continuation of certain radial routes within D.C. to serve riders not having direct METRO service, including areas between rapid-rail stat ions o Link high employment areas not served directly by the rapid-rail system with the nearest stations PAGENO="0704" TABLE HI-I ASSUMED ARS INITIATION SCHEDULE Phase Date .

To assist in accommodating this demand, 21 additional fringe parking lots were assumed, based on locations suggested in the Transit Technical Studies. Most of the 21 lots were located beyond the limits of METRO service, however, a number such as Carter Barron and South Capitol Street are closer in. These locations were connected with express bus service which runs to nearby METRO stations or all the way downtown. Figure Il-V lists these fringe lots and the points served with express buses.

Sunday services consist of early-late, operated from 5:00- a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and owl service. PAGENO="0711" I 1393 Chapter IIV Fare Systems Descr~pt~on Several factors must be taken into account in setting fares for transit _~!y~.c~e. Obviously, it is necessary that there be a reasonable relationship between the amount of service used and the fare charged to the rider. Fur- ther, there must be a relationship between the costs of providing service and the fares charged. The Authority, under terms of the compact establishing WMATA, operates under a mandate to recover from system revenues a maximum amount of the capi- tal cost of building the system. This charge, however, must be balanced against the role which transit plays as a public service and the fact that transit must b~e competitive with the perceived costs of other travel modes. In addition, the fare structure must strive for equity among the several classes of users, must be simple enough to be understood by the users, and must be structured in such a way that fares may be collected without undue equipment or collection costs. The original 1969 analysis had assumed afare system based only on the points of entrance to and egress from the transit system without consideration of the specific ways in which charges would be assessed and fares collected. The 1971 study concentrated on the fare system in more detail considering separate charges for rail and bus travel. The study also introduced the concept of rail fares based on "composite rail miles", defined as the average of the over-the-rail and airline distances between any two stations. For this current 1974-75 study, rather than assume a single fare struc- ture, three different systems were considered incorporating.both differing levels of charges as well as differing methods for assessing and collecting fares. The fares charged to a user of the transit system may be thought of as composed of several elements: e Base Fare - An initial charge paid by all users of the system. This charge covers some basic trip distance. For each of the systems considered, the base charge covers bus travel within any fare zone or a rail trip of up to three composite miles. PAGENO="0712" 1394 o Bus Zone Charge - The charge assessed when crossing the boundary between fare zones. A common bus fare zone structure was used for each of the three fare systems. fare zones are approximately three miles in diameter. o Rail Mileage Charge - The charge assessed for rail trips longer than three composite miles. This charge is on a per composite mile basis. o Transfer Charge - The charge assessed for transfer between transit vehicles. This charge covers the same distance on the second vehicle as would the base fare (i.e., one bus fare zone or three composite rail miles for a bus rail transfer). In all systems -----------~------tr~ansfer between rail lines is free and chargeable mileage con- tinues to accumulate through the transfer station. Table V-i summarizes the three systems tested. Fare System No. I (Separate Fares) is structured with a low initial charge (25~) to encourage short trips and provide community service. In practice, there would be no transfer privilege with each trip on a different vehicle being charged inde- pendently with the exception of rail-to-rail transfers. Fare System No. 2 (Combined Fare) also features the low 25~ base fare, but also provides for free transfer between vehicles (i.e., a new base fare is not assessed). . Fare System No. 3 (Combined Fare) features a higher base fare (14O~), but also provides for free transfers.

For the third fare system, a manual estimate of patronage was made by extra- polating the differential results of the first two fare systems at the jurisdiction level. For all three fare systems, the computer was used to assist in computing revenues. For operating costs, only the first system results were computed in detail; the results for the other two fare systems were derived from the first one.

PAGENO="0716" 1398 CHAPTER V - TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING A. TRAVEL DEMAND MODELS The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments was responsible for the simulation of regional travel patterns in 1992, which were then factored to represent 1990 conditions for subsequent ridership and revenue estimates. The purpose of this section is to outline the technical procedures which were used in this analysis. Details of the transportation demand models will be found in the referenced reports. Overview The Transportation Planning Board is responsible for regional transportation planning. As part of this responsibility, a series of methenatical models have been developed which predict the demand for transportation in future years. Figure 1 represents the general procedures. The process sidulates all travel within the region, categorized by different- purposes: home to work travel 2,727,000 * home to non-work tr~vel 5,299,000 * other trips not related 2,2714,000 to the home The different trip purposes are maintained throughout the forecasting process because they exhibit different travel characteristics and in particular the liklihood of transit travel is quite different. Trip Generation Trip Generation is the first procedure in the modeling sequence. Land Use activity induces travel, thus the 6.2 modified land use PAGENO="0717" 1399 forecasts were input, directly. Total trips produced and attracted in each small area (zones) ~as calculated based upon trip making rates datermined from earlier surveys1. Total pprson trips were calculated without regard to the choice of mode. Results are summarized below: Table 1 - Internal Person Trips for 1992 Work Non-Work Non-Home Based Total Trips 2727000 5,299,000 2274000 Trips Attracted to D.C.

The allocation or distribution of trips is has~d upoc the relative sv~ilobility of jobs and the relative travel time between zones. The exact relationships were derived2 from earlier travel surveys, in the metropolitan region. 1 Analysis of Zone Level Trip Generation. Relationships, Technical Report No. 10 (draft).

PAGENO="0718" 1400 MODAL CHOICE During the trip generation and distribution phases of the transportation planning process, demand is quantified in terms of person travel. The modal choice procedure3 allocates transportation demand into three modes of travel; transit, auto driver and auto passenger, based upon the relative attributes of the projected transit and highway systems and demographic forecasts for the rogion. - The model structure considers both the time and cost of travel. by the separate modes. Because. the NIA Study was particularly concerned with transit ridership and revenue, it was important to predict not only the total transit ridership but also the mode of arrival at metro sbat~,as ~aikiug, bus or automobile. mra~TA has aeveloped a "mode of access model"4 which predict~ the mode of arrival at metro stations in a manner which is analogous ~o the modal choice model - the relative cost and time of alternate arrival modes is investigated. The sub-model was fully integrated into the regional modal choice model described eaplier. 3 Development and Calibration of the Washington Node Choice Models.

Three trip purposes were forecast with the mode choice models outlined in the previous section. Additionally, tables with high school student transit trips were prepared using a growth factor technique to update 1968 estimates. These forecasts were prepared for only that transit travel within the area defined by the COG 1968 survey cordon line. Patronage and revenue from the six omitted districts in Maryland are described along with other special estimates in Chapter VI. COG prepared computer forecasts for the first two fare systems as sum- marized in Table V-I. The impact of allowing the transfer privileges (fare system II) was to increase home-based work transit trips by 2.9~ and home- based non-work transit trips by 5.O?~, for an overall increase of 3.6t~. The free transfer privileges also encouraged more patrons to access the rail system by bus. As can be seen, there are lower park/ride estimates for home- based work and for home-based non-work to downtown Washington. The park/ride and kiss/ride classifications include trips accessing points on the bus and commuter rail ~ystem as well as METRO rail stations. In the peak hour, the distribution of 1990 park/ride boarding modes is estimated to be as follows: METRO Rail 7O~ Commuter Rail 3~«= / Bus 27~- As described in Chapter III, these estimates assume extensive fringe parking and commuter rail service in five corridars. The completion of the 1992 transit forecasts for two fare systems marked the end of the direct technical involvement of the Council of Governments. The remainder of the analyses were conducted by AMV with assistance frcm LTKA in the area of rail operating costS.

From the COG land use forecasts, zonal population es- timates for 1992 and 1990 were used to adjust all transit trips at the pro- duction (residential) end. As the design criteria for a transit system, and the operating costs as well, are highly influenced by peak hour ridership levels, it was, therefore, necessary to study ridership variations throughout the day. Accordingly, an analysis was undertaken using the results of the COG 1968 travel surveys. was assumed that the diurnal ridership patterns for each purpose would remain constant over time. However, because of the significant increase in the relative level of non-work riding, the overall peak factor is expected to drop from its 1968 value of l8.4~ to l7.l~ in 1990. The assumed peak and midday hour factors by purpose are given in Table V-Il, and the 1990 patronage estimates (prior to adjustment) are given in Table V-Ill. Manual Adjustments to 1990 Transit Forecasts The forecasts prepared by the Council of Governments and the analyses described above were accomplished with a series of computer programs de- signed for preparing long-range regional transit travel forecasts. Addition- ally, the geographic area encompassed by the COG forecasts does not coincide precisely with the boundaries of the WMATA compact area. Hence, before arriving at the final 1990 patronage estimates, it was necessary to perform a number, of manual adjustments to realistically represent anticipated con- ditions in 1990. - Adjustrrent for Parking Saturation at METRO StationsV The forecasting models uihich produced the 1992 travel estimates assume that adequate parking facilities would be supplied at all METRO stations to accommodate all patrons who wished to drive and park their car to ride the rail system. The current WMATA designs indicate a total of approximately 25,000 spaces situated at 32 of the 82 station sites. The regional uncon- strained parking demand for a typical weekday based on the COG forecasts is 2/ estimated to be 102,607 and 103,243 for fare systems I and II, respectively.- However, assuming a reasonable distribution of vehicle arrivals at the stations, and a logical turnover pattern, the number of vehicles which could 1" This analysis is more completely described in Working Paper No. 5, "Analysis of 1980 Mode of Arrival at METRO Stations," prepared by Alan H. Voorhees and Associates. The 24-hour park/ride estimates contain trips traveling in both directions between home and station. Such 24-hour estimates must, therefore, be divided by 2 to derive travel from home to station. A further division by the assumed occupancy factor of 1.2 yields vehicle arrivals. Note further that the park/ride trips show in Table V-lll do not all go to METRO stations. -- PAGENO="0723" Proportion of 21i-hour trips occurring in: Purpose Peak Hour Typical Midday Hour Based on an analysis of 1968 Washington area transit travel characteristics. 1405 TABLE V-Il DIURNAL VARIATIONS OF WEEKDAY TRANSIT TRAVEL!"

Thus, a significant number of trips would real- istically have to make their journies in some other fashion. If a patron cannot find parking in a METRO lot, it was assumed he would do one of three things: comm by kiss/ride, take a.bus or walk to the station, or not travel by transit at all, either driving all the way or postponing his trip(s). From a regional level analysis, the following distribution of these diverted trips was arrived at: Percent Diverted To Fare System I Fare System I Kiss/Ride 23.5 23.3 __-__--_Bus-(Walk) Access 52.0 52.8 Not Take Transit 21i.5 23.9 100.0 100.0 For financial planning purposes, the regional 1990 forecasts were modified as shown in Table V-IV. Commuter Rail Trips The assumed regional transit system for 1990 contains commuter rail service in five corHdors. As the COG models consider the complete transit system, some of the forecast, transit trips use only commuter rail lines. The number of trips which, therefore, must be removed to arrive at actual WMATA ridership is Ii,468 for fare system I and 14,~95 for fare system II. Non-School Intrazonal Trips The nature of the COG forecasting models dictates that their prime focus is on regional travel analysis. Because of the vagaries of the short intra- zonal transit trip, they are generally omitted from regional forecasts. However, in 1968 just under one percent of all transit trips started and ended within the same traffic zone. Assuming that the same proportion would hold in 1990 the transit trip totals for the two fare systems were increased by 1~i,366 and l1,899, respectively. WMATA Compact Area Extrapolation The region defined by COG for their forecasting models contains the 1314 traffic districts (1065 zones) defined as being inside thetordon line of their 1968 comprehensive travel surveys. However, there are five such districts in Maryland which lie between the cordon and compact area boundaries. It was assumed that these areas would generate travel, predominantly of a park/ride nature, on the \JI4ATA system. Analysis of transit generation rates from adjacent fringe areas yielded estimates of 14,1400 and 14,556 additional trips for the two fare systems.

The patronage and revenue generated therein as well as the costs to serve the riders of course accrue to WIIATA. Excluding the com~nuter rail only trips, these areas should produce 12,035 and l3,~123 1990 weekday trips, which have been included as part of the basic forecasts for the two fare systems. Summary of 1990 Adjustments Table V-V summarizes the four adjustments made to the regional patronage estimates. The impact in revenue estimation has also been considered and is outlined as part of Chapter VI. Where applicable, the operating cost es- tis have also taken account of these adjustments. Table V-V also con- tains the adjustment values for the third fare system which is discussed in the following section. These statistics represent the final 1990 patronage forecasts used for the financial analyses. For planning and design purposes, the mode of arrival estimates were later re-analyzed at a much finer level, as described in Appendix A. Patronage Estimates for Third Fare System Unlike the first two fare systems, the estimates for the third fare system were not developed with the Council of Government's computeriz~d model framework. Rather, the forecasts were prepared manually at the ju- risdiction level using the ridership sensitivitjes to fare changes exhibited between the first two fare systems. The third fare system is identical to the second in structure, except that the fare component values are higher (see Chapter IV). Hence, it was assumed that the distribution of trips produced in each jurisdiction would be quite similar, although the third al~ternative would yield lower rider- ship levels. Fare tables for the third system were constructed by computer and the average fares by jurisdiction for each of the three systems were calculated. The loss in ridership as the fare levels moved from the second system (which had the lowest average fare in each jurisdiction) to the first system were then extrapolated to the computed values for the third system (which had the higest average fare in each jurisdiction). The resulting jurisdictional estimates were then totaled for the region and adjusted as shown in Table V-V. A parallel analysis was used to estimate the number of trips using the rail system. The trip estimates by their submode clas- sifications for a typical 21~-hour w~ekday in 1990 and for calendar year 1990 are presented in Table V-Vl. Annualization of 1990 Transit Trips The previous two net income analyses noted that annualization factors forpublic transit have stabilized since the mid-1960's after a drop-off promulgated by the five-day work week and the advent of home television. This analysis, therefore, employs the same generalized relationship which* was based on the experience of Washington area bus companies and the ex- perience of rail rapid transit in other cities.

Althotgh the prior studies had developed factors for separate areas and for two trip types (rail and non-rail), the analysis conducted herein did not allow an allocation of the 1990 adjustments from which a consistent analysis base could be maintained. Hence, the unadjusted 1990 trip estimates (as in Table V-I) were annualized by jurisdiction and the resultant total annual trips used to compute a single system wide factor. The annualization factor for a given trip class and geographic area is based on the peak 2-hour ratio. To convert the peak 1-hour estimates to 2-hour estimates, a factor of 1.63 was computed using the 1968 survey data. Annualization factors could then be read from Figure V-I, which was developed in the prior studies. An analysis revealed that the rail and non-rail regional factors were virtually identical and, hence, the value of 289.3 was used for all subsequent computations. The annualized adjusted trip estimates are given in Table V-Vl by trip type. PAGENO="0731" 1413 AUTHORIZED REGIONAL SYSTEM H CURE V-i TRAFFIC. REVENUE.

It was then necessary to develop supplemental es- timates for fare box and non-fare box sources not included in those estimates in order to project WIIATAs full revenue-making potential. 1990 DAILY REVENUES The basic 1990 patronage estimates are contained in zone-to-zone trip tables which indicate the number of trips traveling between all pairs of the 1065 zones within the Council of Governments cordon. Similarly, fare oatrices were developed which contain the fares between each pair of zones.! Separate trip and fare tables exist for persons walking to the transit system and those coming by auto (park/ride and kiss/ride) to account for the different boarding points utilized. Revenues for.these trips were com- puted by multiplying corresponding elements in the respective trip and fare tables, and summing the results.Y Weekday revenues for the adjustments described in the previous section were then estimated manually. The 1990 basic weekday forecast for Fare System I contains 1,638,050 trips of which ~,~468 use only the commuter rail system. The revenue from these trips is $881~,887 daily. The four adjustments discussed in Chapter V then involve a net addition of $16,850 to this amount. The park/ride ad- justment has been broken into two revenue charge components: those trips which will not use transit, and those trips which divert to bus access. Note that for fare system I, the revenue gain from the latter, more than balances the revenue reduction of the non-transit persons.. Finally, there is a net technical correction of $7,900 due to anomilies in the forecasting process. In Table Vl-I the basic weekday revenue sources and adjustments are summarized for all three fare systems. Charges for commuter rail rides were not included in the tables used for revenue estimation. - Fare System III revenues were computed at the jurisdiction levels using - average fares and the patronage estimates discussed -in Chapter V.

As part of the financial analysis, the revenues were allocated to the bus and rail systems. It was possible using various summary capabilities to identify the transit mode(s) used by each rider and to break down their fare into the basic components. For Fare System I, no assumptions were needed to allocate the revenues, as the separate fares paid to each mode were readily identifiable. For the second and third systems with a combined structure, however, it was necessary to make an assumption concerning the base fare or boarding charge. When a trip used only bus or only rail, this charge was, of course, allocated to the appropriate mode. However, for combined trips, this component was allocated on a 50-50 basis. Any bus zone charges were allocated to the bus revenues and the rail mileage charges for trips over three miles were allocated to the rail system. In this manner, the allocation was proportional to the amount of service used on each mode. The allocation was applied to the manually adjusted patronage as well as the basic forecasts to yield the final calendar 1990 estimates. As can be seen in Table VI-tI, fare system III would produce the highest revenues in 1990, despite ge~nerating slightly lower patronage. The bus revenue is just slightly more than for fare system 1 however, the rail system generates 18 percent more revenues. The difference in revenues between the first two fare systems can be attributed.to transfer charges. Each time a rider transfers in fare system I, an additional 25f in revenue is collected. The 628,238 daily combined--mode trips, therefore, generate an immediate $157,000 for their mode change; an estimated $72,000 from further bus-bus, rail-bus, or bus-rail transfers is also produced. The total amounts to approximately $66 million of the $258.6 million estimated annual revenue for fare systesi I. Because of its higher component fare levels, the third fare system is able to more than make up this amount. SUPPLEMENTAL REVENUE ESTIMATES Tourists and Visitors Tourists and visitors in a metropolitan area are not part of the re- sident population which is normally included in the development of regional travel models. Many of these persons are expected to use the transit system, particularly as the METRO serves as a tourist attraction in itself. The previous study estimated that 6,300,000 tourists and `~isitors would use the system at an average fare (1971 dollars) of 38f. The base fare in 1976 is 5~ more and, hence, an average fare of l~3f was assumed for fare systemt and II, and 65~ for fare system III. The previous study ridership estimate was used for the first two fare systems, but the fare system III estimate was reduced to reflect the same relative levels of fare systems II and III. These estimates are summarized in Table Vt-Itt.

The estimate of 8,600,000 trips for this category was also taken from the previous study. The average fare was in- creased from 36~ to tIlf to reflect the higher base fare in this study. The fare system Ill ridership was estimated to he 8,120,000 trips at an average fare of 62f. The results are summarized in Table Vt-Ill. External Commuters Because of the anticipated problems of driving to work in Washington and the attractiveness of the regional transit system as a reasonable al- ternative, it is anticipated that the METRO system will attract commuters from beyond the study area boundaries. The COG cordon includes a portion of Loudoun and Price William Counties, which have been included as part of the basic forecasts. The transit generation rate in the remainder of these two counties was assumed to be at the same level as the area within the cordon accounting for an additional 2.17 million annual riders at an assumed average fare of 85.11.~ from Loudoun County and 89.5~ from Prince William.!' The surrounding Maryland region, although larger, contains competitive. destinations in Baltimore and Annapolis. Hence, an equivalent number of Maryland commuters were assumed at an average of 70.5f. The ~stimates for all three fare systems are indicated in Table Vt-Ill. METRO Station Parking The 1990 parking charges at METRO stations are assumed to range from 5Of to $1.00 in 1976 constant dollars. As indicated in Chapter V, these lots would be full most of the day with immediate turnover at midday and early afternoon as spaces become available. Turnover rates of 1.116, 1.119 and 1.113 were computed for the three fare systems, respectively, yielding annual re- venues of approximately $6 million as summarized in Table Vt-Ill. Advertising Based upon the WMATA budget for FY 1976, advertising revenue per bus in the total fleet was computed at $126. This figure was applied to the 1990 bus fleet. Advertising on rail carswill be assumed to raise an amount re- lative to the exposure to ridership. Total advertising revenues were, there- fore, expected to be approximately $500,000 for each fare system. It is assumed that WMATA policies will not allow advertising or concessions in stations. 11 Values for fare system I only have been included in the discussion. A more detailed discussion for all fare systems is contained in Working Paper #8, "Patronage and Revenue Estimates."

WMATA-T~~cf~. ~ ~ ~ PAGENO="0738" 1420 Charter Charter revenues are dependent upon the availability of equipment and, hence, should grow at the same rate as the bus fleet. The 19714 ~1MATA charter revenues of $2.5 million are projected to increase to $5.0 million for 1976, the year of the Bicentennial and to fall off slightly, being at a level of $4.5 million in 1981. A 5?~ overall growth rate is assumed between 1981 and 1990 yielding projected revenues of $14.7 million for fare system I. Revenue for the other two fare systems were adjusted relative to their respective bus fleet sizes. Contract Service Contract service was assumed to grow at a similar rate to charter ser- vice, however, it was assumed that one major account, the Reston comniuter service, would be eliminated. These commuters will be assumed to use the Dulles Access Road regularly scheduled express buses which will feed into the METRO rail system. Projected 1990 revenues for contract service are shown in Table Vt-Ill. TOTAL 1990 ANNUAL REVENUES The estimated revenues for the regional transit services-offered by WHATA forcalendar ~`ear 1990 are summarized *in Table Vt-Ill for each of the three fare system alternatives analyzed. There is some divergence in the three projections showing the strong influence of the fare structure on re- venue potential. The patronage estimates do not show as much variance, showing the relative insensitivity of ridership to fare changes over a reasonable range. Behind these estimates, a set of very critical assumptions must be understood. First, the estimates are in terms of 1976 constant dollars. It is assumed that the fare levels will be adjusted to keep pace with operating costs. Second, Washington area population will grow as forecast by the Council of Governments to a 1990 population of just under 4 million. The revenue forecasts are, of course, heavily dependent on the accuracy of the COG land use forecasts. Finally, highway and transit construction schedules - will proceed as planned to provide the assumed levels of transportation ser- vice to the region in 1990. REVENUE PROJECTIONS (1977-2020) - The full financial implications of the net income analysis require that net income be estimated from the present up to the year 2020. These pro- jections are based. on the METRO rail phase-in schedule assumed at the start of this project which assumes system completion by July 15, 1981. The pro- jections were done in threestages: the phase-in period up to fiscal year 1982, 1982 to 1990, and 1990 to 2020. PAGENO="0739" 1421 Early Year Estimates (1977-1982) During the initial years of METRO rail operations, the opening of each new segment will bring new transit ridership and will divert some present bus travelers to the rail system. From the Council of Governments, a 1980 full system forecast was available which showed 700,1361. weekday home-based work trips, compared with 895,4132 in 1992, or 302,000 in 1968...!! When ex- panded to all-purpose trips, and shifted to the anticipated system completion year, 1982, a weekday patronage forecast of 1,356,970 was computed. In the early years, particular attention was focused on that portion of the system completed to date and on other important ridership characteristics. Amongst the important assumptions are the following: o The rail phase-in schedule is as shown Table Ill-I. o The bus sytem would be altered at the beginning of each METRO rail phase to feed and complement the new segments. o The 1982 bus system would resemble the 1990 system, but with slightly less outer suburban service. o Park/ride capacity will not inhibit METRO ridership as in 1990. o The peak hour factor will fall from .1813 to .170 by 1982 and remain at that level thereafter. o Mon-work trips which account for roughly 33?~ of.all transit trips in 1975 will account for approximately 38?~ by 1982. o Some of the riders projected to ultimately board METRO at outer stations, would begin to use the system early as closer in-stations were opened. o Typical trip lengths will decrease on bus and increase on rail as later phases are opened. o Regional population growth will follow the COG projections used in this study. o An annualization factor of 290 approximating the current value was chosen. The computation of early patronage and revenues were accomplished by phase on an annualized basis. Estimates for each fiscal year were then Values presented are from fare system I PAGENO="0740" 1422 computed considering the proportion of the year each phase would be in op- eration. The fare system II ridership and revenue as allocated to bus and rail are given for each phase in Table Vl-lV. Although bus rider- ship will continue to grow during the early years of rail operations, the shorter trip lengths will result in lower average bus Fares. Fare system Ill with the same fare structure shows a similar pattern, but at a higher level. Fare system I shows revenue growth for both bus and rail during this period. The forecasts of total patronage and revenues by phase for all three fare systems are shown in Table VI-V. Mid-Year Estimates (1983-1990) Patronage and revenue estimates for the fiscal years from 1983 to 1990 were obtained by linear interpolation between the phase seven estimates and the 1990 estimates presented earlier in detail. Allowance was made for the shift between fiscal years and calendar years. Later Year Estimates (1991-2020) The extrapolation of ridership trends beyond 1990 required that certain assumptions be made concerning regional growth. The land use forecasts used for the basic projections extend only to 1992.!! These population forecasts were extrapolated on a jurisdictional basis for the area within the 1065-zone cordon with consideration given to ultimate- holding capacities. The assumed 2020 population was 5,898,000 as compared to a 1990 population of `~,l87,000 for the same area. Patronage and revenue estimates for calendar year 2020 were then prepared for each fare system. The fare system II al- locations, to bus and rail are indicated in Table VI-IV with a summary for all three fare 5ystems included in Table Vl-V.' Linear interpolation was used for the intervening years. Supplementary Estimates - Each of the items identified as a source of supplementary revenue was analyzed separately and assumed to follow the regional patterns in some growth characteristics such as population or transit ridership. Separate consideration was given to the expected-surge in charter work during the Bicentennial celebrations and the replacement of some contract operations by regularly- scheduled service. Linear interpolation was used as necessary between time points for which detailed estimates were prepared.

These positions are not directly related to transportation and support the operation of the agency as an agency, per se. Included, amongst others, are the offices of general manager, general counsellor, treasurer, and controller and directors of personnel, purchasing, planning, public relations, and data processing. Also, functions related to marketing, inter- governmental relations and real estate. A detailed analysis of the staff requirements for these functions was ~undertaken for 1990. The total personnel requirements was estimated to be 178 with a salary budget of $3,0I~2,L~3Lf in 1976 constant dollars. Support costs were estimated at $365,092 (12~ of salaries as in current budgets). For other years, the general and administrative expenses were assumed to be proportional to the number of riders on the system. Equivalent values were used for the three fare systems. PAGENO="0744" 1426 Chapter Vll~ System Oper~thig Costs The year 1990, which was the design year utilized for patronage fore- --~---casting,was also used to prepare estimates of full system operating costs. In addition, detailed estimates were also prepared for the various operating phases as the system is implemented and for each fourth year beyond 1990. Regional transit services for all years were assumed to be a single, unified publicly operated system composed of rail operations of the tIETRO Authorized Regional System (ARS) and the complementary bus services described inChapter III. This chapter presents the operating, maintenance and ad- ministrative expenses estimated for 1990 regional METRO transit operations. Three sets of operating cost estimates are gi\'en; one for each of the fare systems considered. The cost differences arise due to the variations in pa- tronage associated with each fare system. Separate estimates are presented for rail operations, bus operations and general system administration. RAIL OPERATING COSTS Description of the System - For purposes of this analysis the METRO rail services were assumed to be implemented in eight operating phases with the full 98 mile system in op- eration on July 15, 1981. The rail services offered were assumed to be com- posed of four major lines. Rockvillm - Glenmont Line This line would operate from Rockville to Glenmont via the downtown central business district with major transfer stations at Metro Center and Gallery Place. An additional transfer station is located at Fort Totten. Vienna - Mew Carrollton Line This line operates fromMutley Road in Vienna to Mew Carrollton via Rosslyn and the upper river crossing into the downtown central business district and then east to the New Carrollton terminal adjacent to the Beltway High Speed Rail Station. Major transfer stations are Metro Center and L'Enfant Plaza. Also, transfers to other lines may be made at Rosslyn and Stadium-Armory Station. PAGENO="0745" 1427 Huntington -Addison Road Line This line would operate from Huntington in Northern Virginia via Rosslyn and the upper river crossing into the downtown central business dis- trict and then east to Addison Road. The portion of line from Rosslyn to the Anacostia River is used jointly with the Vienna - New Carrollton Line. Major transfer points are Metro Center and LEnfant Plaza. Also, transfers may be made at Pentagon, Rosslyn and Stadium-Armory. Greenbelt Road - Branch Avenue, Franconia, and Springfield Line This line would operate from Greenbelt Road in liaryland into the down- "~towncentral--business district via Gallery Place and L'Enfant Plaza. South of L'Enfant Plaza, one branch of the line extends to Branch Avenue and the other south via the lower river crossing to the Pentagon and then to Spring- field (Backlick Road) and Franconia. Major transfer points are Gallery Place and L'Enfant Plaza. Other transfer stations are Fort Totten, Pentagon, King Street, and Van Dorn. Six interconnected routes will be in operation with trains moving be- tween the following terminal points: ~. Rockville and Gelnmont 2. Vienna and New Carrollton 3. Huntington Avenue and Addison Road 14* Branch Avenue and Greenbelt 5. Springfield and Chillum 6. Franconia Road and Chillum. Turnback facilities to allow frequent service will exist at Grosvenor, Silver Spring and Chillum. The railsystem will include 86 stations, 8 of which.will be paired within common structural envelopes to provide easy transfers between lines. Fare collection and gating will be handled by automated equipment in stations. A shop for major repairs and periodic maintenance will exist at T Street. Addtional service and inspection shops and storage yards will be located at West Falls Church, Duke Street (near King Street station), Greenbelt Road, New Carrol Iton, Glenmont, and Rockvi 1 la Service Patterns - The system would provide a total of 20 hours daily from 5:00 am, until 1:00 a.m. Table Vll-l and Figure Vll-l present the planned headways.

A loading standard of 175 passengers per car during peak hours and a seated load of 81 passengers per car during other times was used for the determination of car requirements. An 8.5 percent spare allowance was used in developing car requirements. Using t/MATA policy headways, approximate schedules were developed to establish train consists based on estimated diurnal patterns of riding. The schedules take account tEam performance, running time, station dwell time and car loading standards. Based upon these assumptions, the estimated system car requirements in 1990 are 5714 cars for fare system I, 630 cars for fare system II, and 5714 cars for fare system III. System Train and Car Miles Table VI I-Il presents th~ estimated train-miles and car-miles for the system, based upon 1990 traffic estimates and assumed headweys. Direct Labor Expenses Estimated labor costs have been based on wage levels from the present WMATA labor agreement for bus operation and main~enance, and salary scales currently authorized by the WMATA Board. The established WMATA operation and maintenance policy standards have been used where available and supplemented as necessary by application of *experience elsewhere in the rapid transit industry. Manpower requirements have been established on the basis of the es- timated operating statistics and reflect the current \ThATA labor agreements where applicable. lndustry standards have been used ~.here \0~ATA experience or policy has not yet been established. A total rail staff of approximately 2,900 people will be needed to serve theestimated 1990 passenger volume. Special attention has been given to the particular characteristics of the WMATA system and service objectiveS in several critical areas. These include: 1. Maintenance of the automatic train control equipment on cars and along the wayside. - 2. Maintenance of escalators and elevators in stations. 3. Maintenance and servicing of automated fare collection equipment. ~ Manning of kiosks in stations.

Those were selected using criteria related to size of mezzanine, structural characteristics and type of installed equipment. Cost Escalation The aggregate l97~ estimates have been escalated to allo~-. for inflation between now and 1976. The escalation includes expected wage inflation at an annual rate of 9S~ during the two-year period, end materiel costs at an average ~~aniiualrate of 7.5~. 1990 Rail Operating Cost Summaries The calendar 1990 rail operating costs as developed for five major func- tional areas are given in Table VIl-lll. A more detailed breakde~:n is avail- able in Working Paper No. 7, "Rail Operating Costs." The differences between the two fare systems can be attributed to the higher patronage estimates for fare system II. The rail cost estimate for the third fare system is $127 million. Since the physical characteristics in most l-Il1ATA stations are not alike, a typical staticn does not necessarily represent the average station. There- fore, cost estimates for fictitious average above-ground and under-ground stations have been prepared for comparison purposes. The average station cost estimate has been established by first aggre- gating the physical and operating characteristics for all above-ground and under-ground stations in the system. Then, these totals have been divided by the number of above-ground and under-ground stations. Cost estimates for average stations have been developed using the estimating procedure discussed for the typical stations. These estimates are in Table Vll-IV. The cost estimate for the typical above-ground station sho-.-:s a decrease of 4~i~ from the average above-ground station while the typical under-ground station shows an increase of 7~ from the average under-ground station. Projected Rail Expenses (1977-2020) For these estimates, it was assumed that rail operations would commence June 30, 1975, with full system operation on July 15, 1961. Estimated rider- ship and operating requirements were used to determine operating costs year by year during the phasing-in for fare system I. Operating requirements were then estimated and costs computed for every fourth year for fare system I from 1982 to 2020. Costs for intervening years were interpolated.

Although fare system II would require more rail cars in 1990 than fare system I, it was assumed that fare system III would require the same fleet size. Operating costs for the remaining years were derived from the detailed early year and fourth year estimates prepared for fare system I. Rail op- erating costs for selected years for the three fare systems are given in Table Vu-V. BUS OPERATING COSTS As 1~ the two previous net income analyses, a detailed examination of bus expenses was carried out using the computer-projected 1990 bus route traffic volumes. In this study, however, it was possible to utilize the 20-months experience of WMATA as the operator of a unified regional bus system to estimate unit operating costs. Bus Operating Requirements As described in Chapter III, an extensive bus system to feed and com- plement the METRO system was assumed for 1990. This system is indicative in terms of level of service and operating costs of what will exist in 1990. to serve the regional growth foreéasts assumed for this project. This ser- vice will satisfy the various trip types anticipated, with schedules tailored to meet ridership deliiands or policy considerations. Where volumes are heaviest service will be scheduled so that ridership never exceeds l2O~ of seats in the peak, or l00~ of seats in the offpeak. Recent screenline counts have in- dicated that in the peak, ridership does not exceed 9l4~ of this capacity and in the of fpeak, approximately 50~. These considerations, therefore, were incorporated into the estimates of service requirements. It was further assumed that the average bus in the fleet would contain 50 seats. A number of other important assumptions based on WMATA or industry ex- perience were required. Operating costs are most heavily dependent on peak period requirements. Hence, the 1990 assigned volumes were used to deter- mine service requirements and cutback points along the length of the 236 assumed bus lines. A similar analysis was carried out for the typical mid- day hour to estimate base period service requirements. The evening period demand was assumed to be one-half base levels and service requirements were again developed on a line-by-line basis. In no case was service scheduled less than hourly where reasonable demands for service appeared to exist. It was assumed that 50 vehicles would be required to operate owl service. Service was assumed to operate at four basic levels during the typical weekday. In this manner, the buildup and breakdown of peak period service would be considered. The hours of operation assumed at each level were then: Peak 6 hours Base 6 hours Might 5 hours Owl 7* hours 211 hours.

As described in Chapter V, over 80,000 daily trips will use bus access because of parking limitations at METRO stations. The bus operating require- ments were accordingly increased by 3 to 14~ to account for this phenomenon. The assumed number of buses on the raod in each period for fare system I is then: Peak 2,116 Base 8145 Night 1467 Owl 50 The peak vehicle estimate for fare system II is 2,198. The daily operating requirements for fare systems I and II are given in Table VI -VI Annual Requirements In consideration of the number of Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays during the year, a factor of 321 equivalent weekdays was used to determine annual vehicle-miles and vehicle hours. The annual operating requirements are pre- sented in Table VIl-Vil. For fare system Ill, the peak vehicle requirement is estimated at 2,115 with a total fleet size of 2,327 in 1990. Bus Operating Cost Model"~ A study was made of the detailed operating expenses of the METRO system, leading to a classification of each operating expense item into one of four major elements which have been used to allocate particular expense items. These four elements are: vehicle-hours, vehi cle-mi lee- peak hour vehicles, and revenue passengers. This "four factor" formula has been developed to simplify the allocation of operating costs to individual routes or sectors of the transit network. Vehicle Hours The wages of drivers and administrative personnel represents the largest single element of the cost of the METRO system, having accounted for 66~ of the total cost per mile in the first seven months of fiscal year 1973-74. Employees engaged in operating vehicles are paid on an hourly basis; allocation of this expense would be most properly made on the basis of hours of service. This is best estimated by the aggegrate vehjcle-hours operated in the system and this is the basis which has been used to allocate the wages of transit A more detailed explanation of this analysis is contained in Working Paper Number 6, "Bus Operating Costs.'

Since operating personnel is the largest group of employees with the bulk of the amount assigned directly to them, these non-payroll labor costs have been allocated in the sarile manner as the direct wages. Vehicle-Miles Garage expenses such as fuel, lubricants, maintenance and servicing of revenue equipment, tires, tubes, and other related costs are directly related to the miles of operation. Engineering expenses has also been assigned to vehicle-mi les. -----Revenue-Passengers Operating costs resulting from personal injuries and property damage have been assigned to total revenue passengers for the system. Since ac- cident costs are directly related to the amount of exposure, revenue pas- sengers is the more appropriate method for allocating these costs. Peak Flour Vehicles Expenses resulting from the provision of operating facilities and .storage is a function of the total number of vehicles required to.operate the system during peak hours. Maintenance of buildings, grounds, service vehicles, shop expenses, and miscellaneous operating expenses. are allocated to peak hour vehicles. The cost model development used data from Metrobus operations statements for 1973-74, with appropriate adjustments for a labor dispute which reduced operations in May, 1974. The unit costs developed were escalated by lO~ to `reach 1975 levels and by 9~ (compounded.) toreach the 1976 constant dollar fi~ures used throughout this report. The unit costs in 1976 constant dol- lars are as follows:!! Annual Vehicle-Miles $ .4980 Annual Vehicle-Hours~ 15.03 Peak Period Vehicles 4,295.00 Revenue Passengers .0114. Metrobus financial summaries include an expense under Administrative and General of costs allocated from METRO Executive Management and Project Management. Those costs have not been allocated in estimating the model parameter unit costs. Rather, a separate category of Administrative Expenses has been developed. PAGENO="0760" 1442 The 1990 annual operating costs were computed by multiplying each cost ele- rent by its respective unit cost and summing. A contingency factor of l.5~ was then added in to yield the estimated expenses for scheduled operations (see Table Vll-VII). WfIATA does not account for depreciation, and it is assumed that WMATA will pay no taxes for providing the services covered by this analysis. Supplemental expenses for charter work were assumed to be at 67~ of revenue and at 8o~ for contract services. Bus Operating Costs (1977-2020) Bus operating costs were projected from 1977 to 2020 in much the same renner as revenues. Separate estimates were made for each phase of early year operations and a special estimate prepared for 2020. Interpolation was ~then~used from 1982 to 1990 and from 1990 to 2020. The early phase estimates and the 2020 estimates considered average trip lengths by bus, the proportion of combined mode trips, and the typical fares generated under these assumptions. Between 1977 and 1982, the length of the average trip on bus was estimated to fall from 4.01/ miles to 2.5 miles. For 1990 and 2020 these values are ex- pected to rise slightly to 2.7 miles as growth continues in the extremities of the service territory. For each phase and for 2020, the operating cost estimates were computed using the cost model and estimates of the four model parameters. Table Vll-VlIl contains some typical projected operating require- rents for fare system II. Table VIl-IX summarizes the bus operating costs by phase for all three fare systems. Although bus ridership increases in t~he early years, much travel is to and from the METRO system. These shorter trips do not require as much in terms of vehicles and man-power. After 1982, bus operating requirements will continue to grow as population grows and overall ridership increases. The mean 1975 trip length is assumed to be 4.5 miles.

Revenue. and Opecating Costs-1975 PAGENO="0764" 1446 ChapterVW System Net Reveni~e Ana~ys~s 1977-2020 This chapter presents net revenue forecasts by fiscal year for three fare -~~systems.---Th~se results have been compiled from data developed in previous chapters. ASSUMPTIONS The projections in this report are heavily dependent on several sets of underlyinq assumptions. The most important of these is that regional gror:th will occur at the rates assumed by the Council of Governments. The early year forecasts are based on Phase 2 being open by July 1, 1976, and the final * phase opening on July 15, 1981. If implementation of the rail system is * further delayed, orif regionalgro~,th proceeds faster or slo~:er then an- ticipated, then the trend in net revenues must be accelerated or decelerated accordingly. The cost and revenue projections are in terms of 1976 constant dollars. It is assumed that f~res will be raised to keep pace with real wage increases and with increases in the general cost of living. The patronage and land use forecasts developed by the Council of Gover- rents for 1992 and by AMV for 1990 and 2020 are assumed to be on a calendar year basis. Appropriate adjustments have been made to represent these results on a fiscal year basis. The early year results (1976-1982) were prepared by phase on an annualized basis, and appropriate proportions alloceted to the respective fiscal years. The WMATA compact requires that peak period ridership be forecast by juri~diction as part of the cost allocation formula. These data, presented in Appendix A, Table , are based on the fare system II forecasts which * were subject to detailed adjustments related to mode of arrival. The pro- cedures for performing these adjustments are outlined in Working Paper Number 5, `Mode of Arrival Estimates." The patronage estimates ore heavily dependent on the relative levels of highway and transit service assumed for 1990. key elements in the assuoed highway plan include 1-66 inside the Belttay, the North Leg of the Inner Loop Freeway, the Potomac Free~ay, and a major portion of the Outer Belt~;ay (Figures lI-I and 11-2). It is basic to the viability of the METRO system that coordinated bus service feed and complement the Adopted Regional System. PAGENO="0765" 1447 NET REVENUE FORECASTS This sectIon summarizes the net revenue results for three fare systems for fiscal years 1977 to 2020. Detailed results are shown in Table VI H-I for fare system II , the system selected by WMATA for further detai led analysis. The projected net revenues for all three fare systems over the financial planning horizon are given in Table VlIl-ll. Because of the free transfer and low base fares, fare system II will never, be able to generate enough revenue to overcome the high operating costs estimated. Early year operating deficits would run as high as $90 million and would never fell below $73 cillion (in 1976 constant dollars). For fare system I, revenues would exceed operating costs by FY 2013. Fare system Ill, with the highest average fares, ``~73uid `shdw ~ositive net revenues from FY 1983 onward.. Net revenues would then rise steadily to $l43.~ million for FY 2020. SUMMARY It has been transit policy in the Washington area that there he a reason- able relationship between the amount of service used by a rider and the fare charged. Additionally, the fare structure must be related to the costs of providing service. There are many other criteria which a fare structure must meet to ensure equity amongst transit users and to foster other civic objectives. In the last few years, Washing.ton area residents have realized the vital role transit plays and have been willing to subsidize `a portion of bus op- erating costs. The extent to which residents will continue such support must be considered by local authorities in setting future fare policy. This project has developed an estimate of the financial future for transit in the nation's capitol, and has given the WMATA Board of Directors three dis- tinct fare alternative to examine.

The Office_of Audit Should Report Directly to the General Manager The Office of Audit is responsible for performing internal auditing of WMATA's operations, in addition to its major role of auditing WMATA contractors for the construction program. The internal audit function entails a review of various financial activities. As a result, the Office of Audit serves as a "check and balance" through its involve- ment in analyzing WMATA's processing procedures and methods, as well as assessing the accuracy of the financial records. However, to ensure the integrity of the internal audit function, it is necessary that the Office of Audit does not report organizationally to any offices that it audits. Under the present structure, in which the Office of Audit reports to the Office of the Controller, a potential conflict exists, since the Controller's Office is an area in which a significatft amount of internal auditing should be routinely performed. Accordingly, to guarantee full independence, the Office of Audit should report directly to the General Manager; in addition to ensuring internal effectiveness, this change will not, in any way, inhibit the Office's external auditing duties.

The Office of Audit should report directly to the General Manager (111-15) In other comments, WMATA has opposed the recommendation that calls for the positions and functions of Comptroller and Treasurer to be combined. The primary basis for opposing this recommendation are the Compact provisions which prohibit the consolidation of the Office of Comptroller with any other office, and the principle of separation of those functions and activities dealing with the collection and handling of funds exercised by the Treasurer from the accounting and audit responsibilities of the Comptroller. While it is presumed that provision of the Compact will be complied with and the Comptroller office remain intact and independent rendering moot the proposal to move the audit function and have it report directly to the General Manager, it is nevertheless desirable to set out the reasons why the audit function should remain as a part of the Comptroller's responsibility. Among the Comptroller functions is a principal responsibility of "watchdog." The Comptroller exercises a substantial degree of independence in carrying out responsibilities dealing with accounting, the auditing of funds, both internally and those of contractors, and in the process of analyzing program effectiveness. In providing for an independent Comptroller, and in requiring that position not be combined with any other, the Compact placed in one of the officer positions of the Authority the broad responsibility for assuring efficiency and integrity in fund accounting and responsibility both within the Authority and outside with those with whom the Authority enters into contract arrangements. Following this concept, the Board of Directors and the General Manager should expect to hold responsible a major officer of the Authority for assuring a thorough, effective, independent audit of all financial activities and involvement of WMATA. It is indeed questionable whether the audit function's directly reporting to the General Manager might weaken instead of strengthen the process. Under current operating arrangements, the Board and the General Manager hold the Comptroller responsible for an effective audit activity. It was realized, however, in 1969 shortly after construction of the rapid rail system began that to enhance completely the integrity of the audit operation, it would be necessary to permit the Director of the Office of Audit to report independently to the General Manager or to the Board of Directors in those instances and on those occasions where his judgment indicated this to be desirable. It is also provided, further to assure integrity, that the Director of Audit submit copies of his reports to the Treasurer and to the General Manager for their information. The organization of the internal audit operation and the method by which the Director of Audit reports was noted and agreed with by Ernst & Ernst in its audit report of WMATA dated April 30, 1969. In the light of the above reasoning, it is believed that the organizational location of the audit function in the Office of the Comptroller best serves the General Manager, the Board of Directors and the constituent jurisdictions of the Authority.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036 April 30, 1969 Mr. Jackson Graham General Manager Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority 950 So'uth L'Enfant Plaza Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Graham: Our examination of the financial statements of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority for the year ended June 30, 1968 included a review of the system of internal control and the accounting procedures of the Authority. This letter presents our comments and recommendations for strengthening controls and procedures already in effect. ~y~ems and Procedures The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Compact, Title III, Article III, `Officers," states that The treasurer shall be the custodian of the funds of the Authority, shall keep an account of all receipts *and disbursements, and shall make paynients only upon warrants duly and regularly signed by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board, or other person authorized by the Board to do so, and by the secretary or general manager; provided, however, that the Board may provide that warrants not exceeding such amounts or for such purposes as may from time to tine be specified by the Board may be signed by the general manager or by persons designated by him. In keeping with the Compact, the Office of Secretary-Treasurer has been the custodian of the Authority's funds, has maintained cash receipts and cash disbursements records, has prepared bank reconciliations and has made payments only upon receipt of signed warrants. The Office of Comptroller prepares all warrints, based on appropriate documenEation, which in- cludea signed purchase requisitions, signed receiving reports, approved PAGENO="0774" 1456 invoices and/or statements from ~0ntracting offices, all as applicable. The Comptroller has been given final authority to sagn Warrants up to $100,000, and his office prepares checks for all signed warrants. These checks and duplicate copies of the warrants then are forc7arded to the Treasurer who examines the warrant copies and signs the checks. The Comptroller's office also has maintained cash receipts and cash disbursements records. Periodi- cally these records are compared to assure that they agree. The Comptroller's office obtains a copy of the monthly bank reconciliation and checks it in detail. - There are several areas pertaining to the foregoing about which we would like to coranent: (1) The Compact does not define `¼arrants duly and regularly signed.' Legal counsel should be asked to study the section of the Compact referred to above and render his opinion on the meaning of "warrants duly and regularly signed." When the warrants are submitted to the Treasurer for signature, is it sufficient to submit just the warrant signed by the Comptroller (or other duly authorized person or persons) or should other documentation be submitted, including approvals by persons responsible for seeing to it that the goods or services actually have been received? (2) If it is deemed sufficien~to have only the warrant, indicating approval by the Comptroller, (or other duly authorized person or persons) submitted to the Treasurer, some provision should be made to assure that the Comptroller is re- quiring proper documentation before his approval. This can be accomplished by having the internal auditor make tests, as deemed appropriate by him, of the documentation (warrants, purchase orders, invoices, etc.) to ascertain that all necessary approvals are present. (3) The Comptroller's office and the Treasurer's office both have been maintaining detailed cash receipts and disbursements records. The Comp- troller's office should continue to maintain such records as part of the general records of. the Authority. While the Compact indicates that the "treasurer .... shall keep an account of all receipts and disbursements," this requirement would seem to indicate that it is for the purpose of maintaining a proper cash balance, rather than a record-keeping function. It would be de- sirable to request a legal opinion on this point t.o. If the Treasurer's office does not inde- pendently maintain such records, it will, of course, be necessary for the Comptroller's office PAGENO="0775" 1457 t'o furnish on a daily basis the information necessary to enable the Treasurer to administer his office. Further, the Treasurer's office has been reconciling the bank accounts, and the Comp- troller's has been checking them in detail. This function should ideally be performed by the Internal Auditor, but as an alternative, could be performed by the Comptroller's office, with periodic independent reconciliations by - the Internal Auditor. It should then be the duty of the Internal Auditor or Comptroller to notify the Treasurer of any adjustments found to be necessary as a result of the reconciliation. Internal Auditor We understand that the Internal Auditor has been performing both external and internal auditing functions, i.e., he has audited the records of outside contractors as they pertain to the Authority and has performed audits of certain areas within the Authority. At the present time he reports primarily to the Comptroller and may, if he deems it necessary, report directly to the General Manager. We feel that ideally the Internal Auditor should report directly to the Board of Directors. However, as an alterna- tive, the present organizational set-up ~f having the Internal Auditor report to the Comptroller can be adequate providing it is always understood that the Internal Auditor may report directly to the Board at his discretion. We also, recommend that inasmuch as the Internal Auditor already reports to the Comptroller on most matters, he should also submit copies of his reports to the Treasurer and General Manager for information. Other (1) At the present time, we understand that the Authority's accounting manual is in the process of being revised. This is to be commen- ded, as this manual will aid immensely, and should be updated on a current basis, (2) At the time of our audit, a separate payroll bank account had ~~not been established. Currently a separate account is being used. However, * amounts transferred to the account to cover the payroll are approximations anddo not equal the amount of the payroll. We recommend that such an account be utilized on an imprest basis, with deposits being made in the exact amount of the payroll. (3) A valuable tool to management is a monthly cash flow analysis, setting forth the cash requirements and the approximate dates required. This analysis should ha prepared by the Treasurer and should provide a guideline for determining cash available for investment and fey forecasting when large amounts of cash are needed (through sale of investments or otherwise) to meet payroll, contract payments, etc. PAGENO="0776" 1458 The foregoing coirrents are subnitted as constructive suggestions to assist you in strengthening controls and procedures.

Very truly yours, PAGENO="0777" 1459 November 214, 1975 GAO HearinN Question 1. Submit for the record your analysis of the costs of dividing bus and rail management along with other documents submitted to the Board regarding this recommendation. The cost of a separate bus and rail organization is dependent on specific organizational arrangement contemplated by the Metro Board of Directors. The organization can vary from complete separation, with the bus and rail organizations maintaining a completely separate organ izational structure to separating the activities to bus and rail, but maintaining integrated common services such as plant maintenance and communication maintenance. The detailed costing must thus wait until the Board's direction has been clearly expressed. PAGENO="0778" 1460 November ~ 1975 Request (continued) Page GAO Hearin~ Question 10. On November 18, 1975 General Graham stated that: "There is not a single case in established transit property where these functions (bus and rail management) have been separately organizationally." Please reconcile for the records the General Manager's state- ment with the Cresap Report, Appendiz A with regard to the Toronto, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia properties. "The three properties cited (Toronto, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia) confirm the General Manager's testimony that bus and rail transit ~perations are not organizationally separated. The three properties do separate ~perat ions from development or construction, as does WMATA. (In SEPTA, the railroad operations refer to commuter rail- roads, properly separated from rail transit.)"

The percentages indicated apply to equip- ment required for Phase I service and not to all equipment included in the construction contracTs. Reporting is by tests with allowances made for uncorrected discrep- ancies. The numbers are intended to represent test time ratios and are not weighted for criticality of the test. A completion status has been assigned to tests conducted by WI~L~TA Start-Up based upon our understanding of the status and not upon reports or data files since these are not distributed to this test group. In special cases an explan~(tory note has been added to explain the meaning of the number given. Two tests have been added (written in) which were not firm at the issue date of the Test Plan.

Included in the plan are two catagories of testing: 1. Contract Acceptance testing. 2. Interface and System testing. Specifically not included are contract acceptance tests for transit vehicles and any tests or procedures that may be required for actual operation and maintenance of the Tran- sit System. In addition, the OCCB and Brentwood Yard installations are not included since they were occupied by WMATA at an early date, except for certain Systemwide con- tract items, 2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES Under the requirements of Article 2, C-(ll) and (12) of the "Scope of Services ~Y 3~975" the General Construction Con- sultant will make recommendations for written Lest procedures for implementation by the Authority in the System Test Plan, coordinate and administer the test plan through the Autho- rity's Start-Up Manager. - Administrative procedures for the two catagories of tests are detailed in the following sections 3.0 and 4.0 and the current status of approved and pendinq tests and procedures are covered in Appendices A and B attached. 3.0 CONTRACT ACCEPTANCE TESTING Contract acceptance test requirements are reviewed to establish that; a. Performance and functional requirements of the contract are being verified. b. Interface and system requirements of the Transit System are supported, irrespective of contract requirements. Recommendations for additional test requirements are processed into the contracts through normal Authority approved contract change channels. -. - PAGENO="0853" 1535 A listing of contract acceptance tests is given (for Phase I construction ) in Appendix A, Contract Tests, Phase 1. GCC Activities in the contract test area included; 1. Scheduling of facilities, not under the prine contractors control, for use during contract tests, 2. Coordinating and providing of inspection and test services, to witness all tests, 3. Identification of problems affecting final systen operation for clarification of intent or redesign (through the GCC Engineering Department) to the appropriate engineering consultant and the Authority for action. 4. Assembly of test discrepancies for correction by the contractor (through the appropriate Resident Engineer) or waiver by the Authority prior to granting Sub- stantial Completion. 5. Docunentation of all tests and discrepancies en- countered. 6. Review, coordination with other appropriate con- sultants, and appro~al/disapproval of contract required test procedures for the purposes C a and b) cited above, when procedures are required by the contract; OR Preparation of test and inspection check lists to satisfy the purposes when the contract calls only for equipment demonstration to the satisfaction of the Engineer. 4.0 INTERFACE AND SYSTEM TESTING Interf ace and system testing requirements are deduced from the Transit System design criteria, contract requirements and performance observations. A listing of interface and system tests is give in Appendix B, Interf ace and System Tests, All Phases. These are organized according to the administrative procedures necessary for implementation, into cmtegories: 0 PAGENO="0854" 1536 1. DTS Functional Tests. 2. Interface Tests (Prime Contract Interface) Miscellaneous interfaces between prime contractor equipments. 3. Special Tests. Actions required for this group include; 1. Identification of test requirements and requests to the Authority, for approval to test. 2. GCC Preparation of test procedures or review and approval of contractor prepared procedures. 3.

Please submit for the record an analysis of possible increases in cost or further delays in the delivery of cars from Rohr Industries. Rohr is approximately six cars behind in delivery according to the schedule submitted to us on August 30, 1975. We do not anticipate serious further slippage in this delivery rate. Actually, after the delivery of the necessary cars for Phase I operations, the need for cars is not critical. In fact, they will present a storage problem. With regard to costs, Rohr will have certain claims against us and we will have to direct Rohr to make certain changes, all of which could increase car costs. However, in our opinion, these increases will be more than covered by our claims against Rohr and liquidated damages. PAGENO="0884" 1566 Submission No. 2 November 24, 1975 Request (continued) Page GAO Hearing Question 8. On November 5, 1975, Metro testified that specifications for the cars must be met before shipment and on November 18, 1975, the GAO testified that Metro allowed shipments with known defects. Please reconcile these statements. The Authority's position is that cars will not be accepted unless they meet specifications. However, sometimes it is in the Authority's interest to make exceptions, particularly when the exception is a missing part which can be installed by Rohr in Washington and will not seriously affect the preliminary prepara- tions prior to testing. For example, when cars are required for ATC testing, it does not seem appropriate to delay that testing because the car air-conditioning does not meet specifications. PAGENO="0885" 1567 November 2!,, 1975 Request GAO He~jj~ Question 9: Please submit for the record a detailed schedule of safety related tests of the subway system and its components. Safety related tests on the transit cars have been forwarded previously. Details of safety related tests on other system components are included in the attached.

Included in the plan are two categories of testing: 1. Contract Acceptance testing. 2. Interface and System testing. Specifically not included are contract acceptance tests for transit vehicles and any tests or procedures that may be required for actual operation arid maintenance of the Tran- sit System. In addition, the OCCB and Brentuood Yard - installttionS are not included since they were occupied by WNATA at an early date, except for certain Systenwide con- tract items. 2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES Under the requirements of Article 2, C-(ll) and (12) of the "Scope ~f Services CY 1975 the General Construction Con- sultant will make recommendations for written test procedures for irnplememtatiofl by the Authority in the Svstera Test Plan, coordinate and administer the test plan through the Autho- ritys Start-Up Manager. Administrative procedures for the two cataqories of tests are detailed in the following sections 3.0 and 4.0 and the current status of approved aqd~pendinq testsand procedures are covered in AppendicmmA_and B attached. - 3.0 CONTR-RCT ACCEPTANCE TESTING Contract acceptance test requirements are reviewed to establish that; a. Performance and functional requirements of the contract are being verified. .1: b. Interface and system requirements of ri-ia Transit System - are supported, irrespective of .coritract requirements. Recommendations for additional test requirements are processed - into the contracts through normal Authority approved contract change channels. PAGENO="0888" 1570 A listing of contract acceptance tests is given (for Phase I construction ) in Appendix A, Contract Tests, Phase 1. GCC Activities in the contract test area included; 1. Scheduling of facilities, not under the prime contractors control, for use during contract tests, 2. Coordinating and providing of inspection and test services, to witness all test~, 3.

For materials for which the manufacturer publishes a yield point, strain gage readings taken as directly proportional to the claimed yield point stress shall be used to determine whether. or not the point has been reached. For materials for which the manufacturer publishe~ a yield strength, strain gage readings corresponding to a clir-ertly cooportional reading for the yield strength * plus 0.002 inches per inch shall be used to determine whether yield has occurred.

With the car located outdoors on ballast-and-tie, at-grade trackbed or indoors in a spad where reflected sound from nearby walls or floors will not influence the sound radiatel from the car body by more than 2dB, the Contractor shall, using aortable loudspeakers in manner approved by the engineer, ereate a random noise of constant level, for th~ * - frequency range encompassing the ~50 Hz to 2000 Hz center frequency octave bands, witi sufficient Sound pressure Level inside the car that the noise transmitted through the ~ body is a least 10 dB higher than the outside ambient SPL in each octave band and witi sufficient diffusion or distribution that the sound level in the car is uniform within 3 dB a .. 12 inches or more from any body surface.

Please provide a description of the current status of these rcutes and your latest estimates of the possible cost consequences cf the variou~ locations possibilities now under consideration. GAO's May 8th report to Senator Byrd addressed possible adjustments to the Authority's November 1974 capital cost estimate of $4,453.7 million due to probable realignments of six routes (B, E, F, H, J and K). At this time, the alignments for Routes B, E and F are still questionable. Routes J and H were the subject of a resolution adopted by the Authority's Board of Directors on December 4, 1975. The location of the K Route in the median of a highway along the -66 corridor is still a possibility. The current status of the six routes discussed in the GAO report is detailed below: B ROUT,E The ARS Glenmont Route between the Silver Spring and the Glenrront Stations was planned to be constructed in earth tunnel. However, the accrued geologic data indicated that the quality of soil was not suitable for tunneling. A number of alternatives were developed of which two were considered to be feasible. One was Scheme A-I which varied from the ARS plan in two respects. The running lines were placed lower in rock suit- able for tunneling and the stations were placed higher to permit cut-and- cover construction. The second alternative, Scheme B was similar to the ASS in that both lire end stations were to be tunneled but the profile was lowered to avoid the weathered and fractured rock characteristic of the ARS profile. Coordination with tine local government and the public has PAGENO="0934" 1616 -2- QUESTIOH 11 (Continued) revealed their interest in a combination of alternatives, i.e., deep tunnel construction for all the line and the Foresrt Glen Station; the liheaton Station Station and Glennont,~-:ould be constructed by cut-end-cover method. The Glcrn'.ont Storage Yard has also been~a greet coroern to the residents in the proximity of the yard site. Their concern has mean reccnciled through en extensive degree of community and local government coordination. A number of revisicns are being considered for the purpose mitigating the impact of the yard on the community. The revisions include enclosing the lesd tracks, e !Hneting the loop tracks and contouring the earth to attenuate yard noises. If a combinaton of the A-i and 3 alternatives is chosen by Montgomery County end adopted by the Authority's Board of Directors, the increase in cost may be cons idmred en add-on funded by the County, as determined by the Board. E ROUTE Several different alignments have been considered for the E Route within the District of Colu-~ia. Between Columbia Heights end Fort Tct~en Stations the Alternative C alignment has been widely regarded as the most desirable alignment. Outbound of Columbia Heights the Alternative C alignment separates the running lines, the outbound on Park Road, the inbound on Monroe Street. The lines merge inbo~nd of Georgia Avenue and follow New Hampshire Avenue to Rock Creek Cemetery. The alignment crossos under Rock Creek Cemetery and continues to the Fcrt Totten Station. The running lines are planned to be constructed in earth tunnels while the stations will be constructed by cut-and-cover, except for Fort Totten Station which is in retained cut. Outbound of the Fort Totten Station some 2000 feet of the line is on the surface and aerial structure. Thereafter, it is subsurface in a twin PAGENO="0935" 1617 QUESTION 11 (Continued) cell box to be cor-~structed by cut-and-cover. There is coo.-ilunity opposition to the line in Maw l-{aopshire Avenue and to the surface/aerial line in Fort Totten Park. Also Rock Creek Cemetery officials oppose the proposed tunnel across their property and have vowed to litigate. If this alignment is chosen for th~ District of Columbia, there will be an increase of $12.0 million over the cost of the ARS align- cent which may be considered an add-on funded by the District as determined by the Board. The portion of the Greenbelt Route in Prince Georges County recommended by the Authority's staff, after crossing the District line at grade, proceeds in subway in an easterly direction south of Carroll Manor and under Avondale Road. The alignment then turns to the northeast to the aerial Chillum Station near the Queens Chapel Drive in Theatre. lt then proceeds in earth tunnel under Queens Chapel Road to the intersection of Oliver Road and Queens Chapel Road before turning north to the at grade Prince Georges Plaza Station. The alignment continues in earth tunnel under Adeiphi Road before turning into the median of University Boulevard to the retained cut University Boulevard Station located at Stadium Drive. The E Route then crosses over Stadium Drive and the southbound lane of University Boulevard before continuing in subway under the golf course. It than continues in subway under Matzerott Road before swinging to the west of the PEPCO right-of-way end proceeding to the terminal station in the 1-95 and I-~s95 interchange. The service and insoection yard is located north of l-A95 between the north and south bomod lanes of -95. This alignc~ant if approved by Prince Georges County and adopted by the Authority's Board of Directors would exceed the programmed cost for the Prince Georges County segment of the Greenbelt Route by $117 million. Any cost over the $228 million programmed amountwill be considered an add-on totally funded by the County. PAGENO="0936" 1618 F ROUTE- The impact of alignments referenced in the GAO report has been reviewed by the Authority and mitigating recommendations are in order. The impact of "B" alternative would be/the downtc~;n Anacostia and at the Portland Station. The Anacostia Station and its related facilities would be, for the most part, on the grounds of a furniture company that has gone out of business. The alignment, however, upon leaving the station runs southwest along Martin Luther King Avenue and in that area does impact- several residences. The Portland Avenue Station and its facilities would require a full block of well-kept residences and several viable businesses. South of Alobam:a Avenue, prior to entering the right of way of ~hee1er Road, it would pass under a stable single family detached community in earth tunnel. -The Office of Planning has reviewed the basic service area and new requirements - - alignment possibilities under the various service / are definitely limited. The following alignments are proposed: (See attached reap for all the following alignments proposed for study). Alignment I: Serve "3" corridor in both D.C. and Maryland. - Alignment: Use "B" Alignmgnt to Suitland Parkway. Then through St. Elizabeths Hospit~l grounds and under Alabama Avenue. South of Alabama Avenue proceed under private property and the abandoned portion of a public housing project, then over Mississippi Avenue and Oxon Run, under Southern Avenue on the north side of Southeastern Hospi tel and south on surface to rejoin the "B" alignment in Prince George's County. Alignment 2: Serve ARS corridor in both D.C. and Maryland. Alignment: The ASS involves serous major ipoco Cli thrcv;h- the. D.C. portion. In Maryland there minor impact end the route is aconc-micel in cost. One variation in D.C. could be to follow "B" alignment to the Suitlend Park:-:ay end then follo:-i Suitlend Pork-icy to join the ARS in Maryland. The variation would be much more desirable if the Suitiend Park- way scare transferred to the local jurisdiction. Impact wou~d probably be PAGENO="0937" 1619 -5- F ROUTE (Continued) minor (again except for basic impact co~non to any "B" alignment in downtown Anacostia) and could be economical depend~ng on how much work would be necessary on the Parkway and crossings. Alignment 3: Serve "3" corridor in D.C. but ARS corridor in Maryland. Alignment: Only one alignment satisfies this essumotion. This would be to use "B" ccrridcr to Suitland Parkway, then through St. Elizabeth's Hospital grcinds and under Alabama Avenue and the abandoned housing project as in 1 above. Rather than continuing south, however, the line would then turn northeast to a surface station alongside Southern Avenue at Mississippi Aver.ue. It would then continue north east under Southern Avenue to Suitland Parkway where it would portal to surface and rejoin the ARS alignment. It is recorm-ended that the Environmental impact study for Branch (F) Route be amended to include a review and analysis of alternatives I, Ii and Ill as described above and shown on the attached map. The cost of any adopted alignment over and above the ARS may have to be absorbed by the local juris- dictions if. so determined by the Authority's Board of Directors. PAGENO="0938" ~! ~ CD -l 0 1: (1) H C,, C1 r~ 23 PAGENO="0939" 1621 -7- J AND H ROUTES The Authority's Board of Directors adopted a resolution on December 1i, 1975, deleting that portion of the Sprin~fie1d (J) Route west of the junction with the Franconia (H) Route but with provisions for a possible future extension to.;srds l!mst Springfield. The resolution provides for the exten- sion of the H Route along the west side of the RF&P Railroad to the point where the northwest fork of Long Branch passes under the railroad. The Springfield Station :1 il be relocated to the west of the railroad immediately south of 1-495 and t~a Franconia Station will be relocated on the sane side of the railroad between the northwest fork of Long Branch and Springfield Forest Subdivision. Special charter and commuter bus facilities will be provided at the relocated Springfield Station in place of approximately 375 park and ride spaces. These changes to J end H Routes will result in a cost increase of approximately $14.3 million. K ROUTE The portion of the K Route from immediately east of Harrison Street in Arlington County to 1-495 in Fairfax County was to be constructed in the median of 1-66. The ~epartment of Transportation (DOT) made a decision not to construct this portion of -66. However at this time DOT is proposing that a commuter road be constructed with the K Route in its median. The construction of this ccnmuter road is proposed to be accooplished concurrently with the K Route. If this proposal is adopted, there will be little difference in the Authority's projoct now and what was previously planned. IF the commuter rood is not built the Authority may be required to construct bridges and sone surface work at its cost which would have been partially funded by VDH&T. - PAGENO="0940" 1622 GAO HEARING QUESTION 12 The GAO has noted that the Authority's schedule for beginning of service on the various system phases doss not allow for "any tine for delays due to lawsuits, strikes, and adverse weather". Please describe how this has been changed in the Authority's current startup estimates. The Authority has consistently been of the opinion that provision for unforeseen delays is counter-productive. It is to the corn~unities' best interest that all involved in the Metro construction feel the urgency of completing the program as soon as possible. Deliberately stre out the program will cause costs to increase due to escalation -- a force over which the Authority has no control. Provision for 18 months delay has been recognized in the $14,650 million estimate for the E, F end K Routes. Also, the 15 percent or $467 million unfunded contingency should be adequate to provide for increased cost from any source. PAGENO="0941" 1623 QUESTiON 13 -- GAO HEARINGS In the May ~th Report to Senetc: :~e GAO disc~sse~ (cn pa;a 20 to 21) several specific ccntract cost overruns. %ere these reflected in the $139.5 million increase noted in the August 1375 Office of Prc.~-a:i Co~trcl Report.

If so, pleese submit a description of these for the record. The Authoritys staff anticipates that the cost of ccnstruct~on inspection may exceed the amount programmed for this task, however there is no basis for quantifying this increase until a definite trend is firmly established. The staff also foresees an increase in the cost of insurance and possibly in the amounts of contract modifications. These potential cost increases will be closely monitored and the Congress will be advised of their impact when they can be quantified.

Subcornittees The attached Table I to House D.C. Subcomittee Staff Analysis of GAO Report was passed by House staff to the press during the testimony of Mr. Gutmann of GAO before House Committee members-on November 18. The table shows a total Metro cost estimate of $6.125 billion. Meanwhile Mr. Gutrr.snn in his testimony was supportIng a cost estimate of $4.8 billion, about 3 percent over the Authority estimate of $4.65 billion. Following oUr testimony, Mr. Gutmann and I were asked by press for comment on the $6.125 billion estimate, which of course we had not previously seen. Mr. Gutmann's qualified reply to "Well, could the cost go to $6.1 billion?" permitted the Post writer to associate GAO with the House figure. Herewith are brief comments on the main components of the House staff figures: -. $4.453 - WMATA November 1974 estimate. .414 - The GAO May 8, 1975 report to Senator Byrd projected a cost increase ofbetween $46 million and $414 million for construction coiifTii~ency. Staff used upper limit. .273 - The GAO-Byrd report stated "route alignments currently being considered could increase costs hy as much as $273 million." Maryland DOT has earmarked at least $62 million from interstate highway funds for this route. .489 - The GAO-Byrd report concluded that WMATh escalation "was estimated using reasonable procedures, data and judgment," but that, "different judgments could be substituted." They forecast cost due to escalation could decrease $169 million or Increase 5489 million. Again, staff used upper limit. .184 - Source of this figure is unknown to WH.~TA. The GAO- Byrd report states projected cost overruns on current contracts ~ exceed allotted amounts by $19.6 million. PAGENO="0944" 1626 Current Hearings before House D.C. Subcommittees .312 - This figure is from the July 7, 1975 GAO reort ~;hich had a different purpose than the 3yrd re:-ort. The staff included $149 million of "~ouble-ccunting" from the $4,453 million above, as well as betterments, add-ons and handicapped facilities separately funded. it also includes some estimates -ihich G~ recently agreed were excessive. The staff has th~s overstated this line item by 75-80 percent. The GAO-Byrd report recognized that recipients of t~~e report ~uid likely edd all of the high projections and therefore cautiomed: `We believe it is reasonable to assume that sore of the contingencies that will adversely affect rosts will occur. ft is also reasonable to expect that not all will occur and, for this reason, the indi- vidual items of potential cost growth should not all be added to the current estimate to arrive at a completion cost."

DEAR Mn GRAHAM: As a member of the Board of Directors of W.M.A.T.A., I believe you will be pleased to receive our company brochure. W.M.A.T.A.'s Office of Minority Development and especially the efforts of Mr. Pete Brown have made Re-Bar Construction a part of Washington's subway building team. Norair Engineering, Swindell.-Dressler, Healy-Kruse, and Fruin- Colnon have subcontracted to our company, and in the future we hope to include other general contractors. It has been said that minority-owned businesses do not perform to expectations, but in the pages of this brochure you will see that Re-Bar Construction not only did well but is also recognized as a solid subcontractor in the area. Community involvement has also increased according to our resources, yet none of this would have been possible if W.M.A.T.A.'s policy did not include a ten per cent minority participation in the award of all contracts. We acknowledge tl1e opportunities made available to us through this policy and thank WT.M.A.T.A. for their enlightened directives. Yours truly, ISHMEAL HARPS, President.

In the letter, Mr. Harps comments on the experience of his organization as a sub-contractor in Metro construction. We believe that these materials should be of assistance to the Committee in its deliberations concerning the subject and, therefore, respectfully request that they be made a part of the record.

[From the New York Times, Jan. 9, 1976] WASHINGTON TRANSIT PROJECT BOON TO MINORITY BUILDERS (By Ralph Blumenthal) WASHINGTON.-"The color of the game is green," says Charles W. Dowdy, director of minority development for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. More than any other construction effort in recent times, the building of the $5 billion capital area rapid rail system by the authority is providing black and other minority contractors with an extraordinary opportunity to break into the traditionally white-dominated construction field. With minority concerns here now capturing about 5 percent of the contract awards, some $60 million will flow into the coffers of minority builders from work already assigned. At the same rate, minority concerns would capture about $250 million of the total expenditure. PAGENO="0947" 1629 That alone is more than one-sixth of the amount estimated to have been earned by all minority concerns last year in all construction projects across the nation, public and private. On a lesser scale, the same trend toward a significant minority share In public construction is also evident in Atlanta and Baltimore, two other cities building large mass transit projects. "Minority firms missed out on the two biggest construction booms of our time- housing and aerospace," said Mr. Dowdy. Transportation, he added, is the boom of the future-and one the minority concerns, black, Hispanic, and Oriental, will not be permitted to miss. Minority concerns have been trying to break into the field for years and have failed. What is making the difference now is a combination of carrot-large public construction project (transit) -and stick-affirmative action progress for minority participation that have to be applied to such projects under equal opportunity legislation. In addition, says Carl Jones, co-owner of Jones & Artis, the first minority firm to win a substantial contract with W.M.A.T.A. in the capital.. "Metro brought on so much work [thatj the smaller jobs went begging, and we came underneath and took them." Public construction is all the more significant for firms like Jones & Artis be- cause of the dearth of nongovernment work for minority concerns. "Private? Forget it !" said Mr. Jones. "There's almost none of it. We don't even look for it." REQUEST ON CONTRACTS Since last November W.M.A.T.A. has been requesting that 10 percent of the high-value heavy construction prime contracts and 20 percent of the lighter work be directed to minority concerns. The distinction between the two types of con- tracts is a reflection of the relative scarcity of minority concerns at this point prepared to handle the largest contracts. Atlanta, where a $2.1 billion rapid rail system is under construction does not have similar fixed percentage. But the equal opportunity office of the Metropoli- tan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority insists that minority concerns be "meaning- fully" involved in each stage. Thus, a line segment being built through Fulton and T)eKalb Counties with a 29 percent black population is supposed to reflect minority participation roughly to that extent. So far, of construction contracts totaling about $11.5 million, minority concerns in Atlanta have won $2.7 million in subcontracts. In addition, of $8.3 million worth of design contracts for seven subway stations, minority concerns will reap $2.3 million in subcontracts. Baltimore's project is still in too germinal a stage to reflect any fixed percent- age of minority involvement. But of the first three contracts awarded, totaling $31,000, a minoriy concern got one, a demolition job, worth $10,600. LEVELS OF PARTICIPATION The contrast between these levels of participation and those heretofore is striking. For example, the Minority Contractors Resources Center here, a publicly funded agency credited with helping achieve the breakthrough, discovered re- cently after a survey that of $2 billion in Department of Defense construction contracts let last year, only $7 million went to minority concerns. "We were so surprised we called the Pentagon to verify the figure," said Frank Kent, director of the center, at 1750 K Street NW. Nationally, the center estimates minority participation at even less-under 1 percent of the $169 billion spent across the country on pul)lic and private con- struction in 1974. EVASION DETECTED The center and WMATA have been working hand in hand to steer minority contractors to the available jobs. For example, when the authority awards a major contract to a low-bidder-usually one of the larger white-owned con- cerns-Mr. Kent's office is informed. The center then sends a letter congratu- lating the contractor and inviting him in to meet potential minority subcon- tractors. "We parade a bunch past him, and he picks the ones he wants," Mr. Kent said. PAGENO="0948" 1630 On one decision, he said they caught a major contractor in an evasion. After rejcting a number of minority contractors referred by the center, the builder announced that he had found one of his own. However, after looking into it, Mr. Kent's office discovered the man had set up a supposedly black-owned dummy concern under his foreman. Mr. Kent told the builder they knew what he was up to and gave him a week to come up with an acceptable legitimate minority concern-which he then did. Had he refused, W.M.A.T.A. would have been in a dilemma. "We recognize we're not necessarily on the strongest legal ground," said Mr. Dowdy. A low- bidder denied a contract because of his refusal to hire a specified number of minority subcontractors might well sue and win, he indicated. Thus, the center and W.M.A.T.A. try to persuade rather than order. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION The center has been operating on a $450,000 budget this year, provided by W.M.A.T.A. ($100,000), the Department of Commerce's Office of Minority Busi- ness Enterprise ($100,000) and the Department of Health, Education and Wel- fare ($250,000). One happy benefactor of the affirmative action effort is Mr. Jones of Jones & Artis. Mr. Jones, a civil and structural engineering graduate of Howard University, set up the firm with James Artis three years ago. In the beginning, he recalled, it was a struggle. Private construction contracts did not come their way. They were inexperienced. Banks were reluctant to make them loans. "I don't want to hit them with a rap of not lending to blacks, but banks only lend you money if you don't need it." said Mr. Jones, leaning back on a chair in his paneled office in a residential building at 1111 Massachusetts Avenue, NW. "Banks only lend with a strong financial picture, and there aren't many firms like that." The minority contractors center came to their aid with advice on how to set up a computerized cost-control system for running the business. "It brought everything into an established pattern," said Mr. Jones. "It gave us stringent rules to live by. It gave us accountability over all facets of our business." Before winter curbed the construction season, Jones & Artis were employing up to 107 workmen. The annual volume is up to $4 million. The firm has won five contracts with W.M.A.T.A., including one as a prime contractor, rebuilding I Street for $1 million. It also won a significant contract $2.9 million contract from the Federal Aviation Administration for work on the Ford-Lincoln Tunnel. Perhaps even more important than the current contracts going to the minority concerns, Mr. Dowdy and Mr. Kent believe, is the experience the companies are garnering to prepare them for more lucrative contracts. "There's no point getting someone an invitation to a dance if he doesn't know how to dance and doesn't have a tux," said Mr. Dowdy. "This will give them experience for other jobs. Now for the first time, minority firms are being able to say, `Yes, I have the experience.'" U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PBOTEGTION AGENCY, REGION III, Pltiladelpliia, Pa., February 27. 1976. Subject: Air Quality Consistency Determination Between the Section 134 Trans- portation Plan and the State Implementation Plan-Washington, D.C. Urbanized Area. Mr. W. H. WHITE, Regional Administrator, Federal Highway Administration, UJS~. Department of Transportation, Baltimore, Md. DEAR Mn. WHITE: In response to your letter of October 16, 1975 and in accord- ance with FHWA Air Quality Guidelines, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed the determination of consistency between the transporta- tion plan and program and the air quality implementation plan for the Washing- ton, D.C. Urbanized Area. We apologize for the delay in submitting our comments. PAGENO="0949" 1 t~9 I UtJ We have concluded that the transit portion pf the transportation plan is consistent with air quality goals but the highway portion is inconsistent with air quality goals. We have found the highway portion to contain significant deficiencies. Based on our determination of inconsistency of the highway portion of the transportation plan, we strongly recommend that certification of the Transpor- tation Planning Board be immediately withdrawn. We recommend that funding for transit projects and all planning funds be continued. Certification can be reinstated only when the plan provides for expeditious attainment and mainte- nance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). We recognize that this represents a serious step, but air quality is a serious problem. We do not consider decertification a solution to the problem, but view it as a means to force a solution because the planning process is not responsive to environmental quality. We must emphasize that clean air is not an optional goal, but rather a requirement of the Clean Air Act. The planning process and the resulting plan therefore cannot choose to ignore it. The existing air quality in the Washington, D.C. region as published in the District Bureau of Air Quality Reports necessitated a thorough review of the submittal. We find that the submittal ignores our previous comments and the plan has not been substantially changed since last year. Evidence of necessary elements to assure attainment of the NAAQS is not present in the plan. In addi- tion, a major concern expressed in our comments last year was the further prob- lem of maintaining NAAQS once they have been attained. The plan does not provide for this maintenance of standards. We expect the results of the studies being done in the District area will be used to revise the long-range transporta- tion and land use plans so the questions of attainment and maintenance will be addressed. However, the initiation of studies is not grounds for a consistent plan unless the necessary revisions to the plans and the "3C" planning process are made. An inadequate Transportation Control Plan does not relieve the MPO from their responsibility to develop transportation policies and plans which allow for the timely attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS as required by the Clean Air Act. It must again be emphasized that clean air is a statutory requirement and not an optional goal. The air quality analysis performed for the long-range plan indicates that NAAQS will not be attained even in 1992. We have carefully reviewed the air quality modelling procedures and conclude that the models represent the state- of-the-art and have been properly applied. However, we conclude that the 1992 air quality estimates are conservative because of the assumption of full control of CO and HC automobile emissions after 1977 and large reductions of CO and HC from heavy duty vehicles in 1980. Therefore, air quality in 1992 may be worse than predicted by the models. The land use growth pattern assumed in the long-range plan (6.2 modified) resembles a sprawl-type pattern. Implicit in this growth pattern is the assump- tion that highways will be built, such that growth will occur. These projections are thus self-fulfilling. The transportation codes assumed result in patterns and demands indicating more highways need to be built. The land use plan, as a result, is not an independent policy but rather a reflection of the desired trans- portation policies. In addition, this process does not allow for environmental assessment at the proper stage of the planning process. Land use projections require as input policy for water and sewer, transit, highway and open space. Environmental constraints must be considered during development of policy, as well as during later stages of the modelling process. Until the environmental concerns are addressed in the land use planning, main- tenance of the NAAQS cannot be assured by the long-range plan. The short-range transportation improvement program (SRTIP) is inconsistent because it does not provide for attainment of the NAAQS. The SRTIP does provide for increased transit funding due to the metro construction. However, a firm commitment toward continued increased transit funding is lacking. Fur- thermore, the SRTIP does not directly provide a funding level such that timely implementation of the TCP measures will occur. The implementation dates have not been met and although the MPO gives assurance of accelerated implementa- tion, the SRTIP does not clearly include funding for the efforts required to implement the measures. PAGENO="0950" 1632 I would like to meet with you in person immediately to discuss your instruc- tions to the MPO. Transportation Systems Management planning is an excellent mechanism for insuring attainment of the NAAQS. Year 2000 planning, 208 plan- ning and air quality maintenance studies now underway can provide a sound basis for insuring maintenance of the standards. We appreciate the opportunity to review- your determination of consistency and look forward to-hearing from you. Sincerely, DANIEL J. SNYDER III, Regional -Adinini~trator. METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON GROUP, THE SIERRA CLUB, March 4, 1976. STATEMENT OF RIIEA L. COHEN Chairman Mathias and meml)ers of the committee : Of the many urban prol)- lems with which - Washington area residents and their elected representatives must deal daily, the funding of the Metro rapid rail system has been made the most urgent by the recent release of the Faucett report by the Subcommittee on Fiscal Affairs of the House Committee on the District of Columbia. On November 7, 1965, Subcommittee Chairman Romano L. Mazzoli requested the Library of Congress to undertake a study of the proposed Metro rail system, that it be a "preliminary assessment . . . of the desirability of a shift to some short-term funding approach for Metro to allow time for a thorough re-study before proceeding with the longer-term completion of the system." The report w-as to contain three elements in particular: 1. A concise cost-benefit appraisal of one or more possible alternatives to the presently planned 98-mile system, supported by as much detailed data analysis as is feasible: - 2. Documentation of changes in metropolitan area economy, structure and function w-hich may render invalid some original planning assumptions and forecasts supporting the 98-mile adopted regional plan for the rail transit system, and 3. Some assessment of the costs and impacts of the alternatives consid- ered on present system financing agreements betw-een Federal, state and local governments." The Library of Congress engaged Jack Faucett Associates, Inc.. of Chevy Chase, Maryland, on a contract for a study lasting six weeks and costing $4000. Released by the Subcommittee in early February. the study calls for a halt in Metro construction for six to nine months until after a "thorough alternatives analysis" has been conducted. The alternative which the consultants apparently prefer is truncating the Metro to a 68-mile system. - The Faucett report shows a stunning disdain for all of those human and en- vironmental values relating to transportation alternatives which defy easy quantification in terms of dollars and cents, such as air quality, convenience and comfort, access to new' job markets and access to public facilities and serv- ices. With regard to air quality, truncation of Metro rail service would lead to pressure for more highway construction to accommodate those commuters who would otherwise have become rail patrons. Even with the Metro rail system in the region's transportation plan as a basic element, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week has declared the highway portion of that plan incon- sistent with air quality standards. In a letter to the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. EPA Region III Administrator Daniel J. Snyder pointed out, "We must emphasize that clean air is not an optional goal, but rather a requirement of the Clean Air Act." According to the attached Washington Post new-spaper article. Snyder has rec- ommended that the Federal Highway Administrator withhold highway construc- tion funds "until air pollution control measures are strengthened." Clearly, cut- ting back on mass transit for the region would exacerbate air pollution. Two erroneous assumptions are central to the Faucett report: 1) that Metro's operating costs must be met by the farebox, and 2) that only population growth can greatly increase ridership. Then, pointing to the recent downward adjust- ments in population forecasts for the region, the report concludes that it is PAGENO="0951" 1633 infeasible to complete the entire system. It dismisses as insignificant the result- ing increases in auto use and air pollution, and appears to spread out the auto gain over a 24-hour period rather than to show it at rush hours. It excludes from transportation comparisons the monetary and energy costs of operating those additional private auto~nobiles and of constructing and maintaining those added highway lanes which would follow a rail service cut. It is silent on the labor intensive, energy efficient and air quality improving features of rapid rail. It omits consideration of more economical alternatives to the proposed feeder bus system, and it disregards the efficacy of transit incentives combined with auto disincentives to increase ridership. It downplays the likelihood of transfer of federal interstate highway funds to finance Metro construction, and it ignores other sOurces of construction and operating capital, such as federal assistance and a regional transit tax. As described in the following statement which I delivered before the House Committee on the District of Columbia Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee on March 2, the Faucett report is a slight and superficial exercise, a subservient bow to the almighty automobile. We urge your Committee to consider the Fauceft report as a desperate and poorly disguised attempt to intercept the imminent transfer of District of Colum- bia and other local interstate highway funds to Metro. We hope you will thwart this and other last minute efforts to keep superhighway plans alive and to derail Metro just as its first operating line is about to go into service. Your Committee's help is very much needed to assist the region's local governments in developing the package of regional taxes, federal assistance, and the transit incentives plus auto disincentives necessary for the Metro system to serve the present and future residents and visitors of this National Capital area. We thank you for providing the opportunity for us to bring this matter to your Committee's atten- tion, and we appreciate your continuing interest in the prol)lemS of the Metro- politan Washington Region. [From the Washington Post, Mar. 4, 1976] AREA ROAD POLLUTION CONTROL HELD WEAK (By Stephen Kinidinan) The Environmental Protection Agency has found that the air quality stand- ards in the highway portion of the Washington area's regional transportation plan are inadequate and has recommended that the Highway Administration withhold funds until air pollution control measures are strengthened. The EPA finding, which was disclosed yesterday at a meeting of the Wash- ington Metropolitan Council of Governments, must now be reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration, which has the authority to decertify the transportation board and discontinue financing for the highway portion of the plan. The multil)ihlion dollar highway development plan includes the possible con- struction of an additional beltway outside the existing one, the construction of new four-lane arterial roads an(l the widening of existing roads. EPAs findings and recommendations were made in a letter from Daniel Snyder, regional administrator of the environmental watchdog agency, to W. H. White, regional administrator of the highway agency. EPA found the "transit portion" of the plan, which includes Metro, "is con- sistent with air quality goals," but that "the highway portion is inconsistent." According to Dennis Bates, director of health and environmental protection for COG, the kinds of things that would have to be revised would be numbers of car Pools buses, downtown parking spaces and anything else in the plan that affects air quality. Snyder made it clear in his letter that the goal was not to scrap the plan hut to make sure that pollution would be held to an acceptable level. "We must emphasize," lie wrote, "that clean air is not an optional goal, but rather a requirement of the Clean Air Act." Snyder's letter noted also that "the air quality analysis performed for the long-range plan indicates that (acceptable standards) will not be attained even in 1992." Air quality, said Snyder, "is a serious probleni. We do not consider decertifi- cation (discontinuation of funding) a solution to the problem, but view it as a PAGENO="0952" 1634 means to force a solution because the planning process is not responsive to environmental quality." GREATER WASHINGTON CENTRAL LABOR COuNCIL, AFL-CIO, Washington, D.C., March 31, 1976. Hon. ROMANO L. MAzzoLI, House Office Building, Washington, D.C. DEAR CONGRESSMAN MAZZOLI: The Greater Washington Central Labor Council is well aware of the recent debates concerning the Washington Area Metro Rail System. We believe that the present problem highlighted in the report, "Wash- ington Area Metro Rail System; Perspectives and Alternatives", should be given careful consideration. We wholeheartedly agree with the idea of improving the present system. The Labor Council does not agree, however, with the study's proposals and this letter will hopefully explain our opposition. It is our belief that the finance and time constraints associated with this study have prevented a complete analysis of all aspects of this issue. Working with these limited resources, the study was forced to make certain assumptions that were not adequately supported by the data. In the discussion of rising fuel prices, the report suggested that gasoline short- ages and rising prices may increase the demand for mass transportation, but dis- missed any study of this increased demand as problematical. Increasing gasoline costs is an extremely relevant problem and the associated higher costs of car operation certainly merits extensive consideration. The report's discussion of alternative to the proposed 98 mile system is severely hindered by the admitted informational constraint. "It is difficult to estimate how many potential patrons would adjust their travel patterns in a fashion which is consistent with the original WMATA forecast without recourse to com- puter models which were not available within the resources of this study." (p. 39) The Commission would like to stop all Metro construction for approximately six to nine months. During that time period a detailed investigation of the costs and benefits of the proposed system would be undertaken. Though a detailed report concerning the merits of the present Metro system would be beneficial, to halt the construction until such a report could be presented would have serious consequences. What would happen to all the workers presently employed? With clearly high unemployment rates, this effect could only increase the unemployment problem rather than providing some help towards solving it as current Metro construc- tion does. There would be cost incurred from a temporary halt in terms of rehir- ing and training employees to take places of those who had found employment elsewhere during the layoff period. There would also be additional costs due to inflation and because of the increased period of time needed to complete con- struction as a result of the delay. Certainly a drastic halt of the Metro, with all of its attendant repercussions must be based on more conclusive evidence than has been represented in this limited study. Congress should make use of the best methodology and allocate sufficient funds to conduct a comprehensive study because the policies Congress advocates set precedents for all the lesser legislatures. The meager S4.000.O0 study concerning the Metro Rail System establishes a bad precedent. For the U.S. to discontinue or even alter a program on the basis of this type study is totally incomprehensible. In comparison to Europe, our present transportation system is extremely out- dated. Let's not halt construction and further delay a badly needed. efficient. mode of transportation. The costs of a temporary halt of construction would most likely be greater than any benefits that could be the result of such action. Congress approved Metro construction previously and it should continue its support. The Greater Washington Central Labor Council thanks you for consideration of this viewpoint, and urges you to support the continuation of Metro because we desperately need it. Sincerely, ROBERT E.

MAzzoLI, Chairman, Subcommittee on Fiscal Affairs of the Committee on the District of Columbia, House of Representatives. DEAR Mn. CHAIRMAN: This is in response to your letter of December 2, 1975, presenting several questions concerning activities of the Washington Metropoli- tan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). As requested by your staff, we are responding to your request for our opinion on the legal nature of the metrorail capital contribution and operating subsidy agreements in advance of our reply to the other questions. Enclosed is a copy of the legal analysis our staff prepared regarding the agreements between the local governments and WMATA for financing the metro- rail system. We trust that it may be of some assistance, notwithstanding that we perceive no clear or even reasonably reliable legal answer to whether locali- ties would be bound to contribute funds in accordance with revised estimates or construction costs or whether capital contributions must be refunded if the sys- tem is not completed. Sincerely yours, PAUL G. DEMBLING, (For the Comptroller General of the United States). Enclosure. LEGAL ANALYSIS Question. Submit for the record an opinion from your legal staff on the binding or non-binding nature of the agreements local governments have entered to make capital contributions and payments for operating subsidies. Also include com- ments on any obligations for refunding capital contributions if the entire adopted regional system is not completed. Answer. The only formal agreement providing for payment by the various localities to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for rapid rail transit is the Capital Contributions Agreement (CCA). It was signed by the City of Falls Church on March 29, 1969, and subsequently signed by the other Virginia jurisdictions, the District of Columbia, the Washington Suburban Transit District for Montgomery County and Prince George's County, and WMATA. A guaranty by the Maryland counties of the obligations of the Washington Suburban Transit District, which had no independent revenues, was attached. (The Transit District's outstanding capital obligations have been assumed by the State of Maryland. See, Md. Code Ann. art. 94A. § hA (Supp. 1975).) At the time the CCA was signed, WMATA and the localities also entered into a Transit Service Agreement providing for metrorail operating subsidies to be paid in accordance with a prescribed formula. We understand that this agree- ment was intended to provide necessary support for WMATA to issue gross revenue bonds. The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in effect held the Service Agreement in violation of sections of the Virginia Constitution designed to con- trol indebtedness. Board of Supervisors of Fairfa~r County v. Massey, 210 Va. 253, 169 S.E.2d 556 (1969). A revised agreement was held to be constitutional, and if it had been signed by all parties it presumably would have been legally bind- ing. Board of Supervisors of Fairfa~v County v. Massey, 210 Va. 680, 173 S.E. 2d 869 (1970). However, at that time the Service Agreement was no longer thought to be important for bond issue purposes, and there was some concern that the allocation formula was unrealistic. (The governing bodies of each locality have adopted resolutions in various forms agreeing to operating sub- sidies and efforts in general to assure the viability of the financial plan in order for WMATA to obtain Federal bond guarantees.) On Tanuary 8, 1976, the WMATA Committee on Development of Metrorail Deficit Allocation Formula recommended an allocation formula for Phases I and II (17.6 miles in operation, primarily within the District of Columbia), which is presently under considera- tion by the localities. The CCA requires WMATA to construct and acquire the regional transit sys- tem substantially in accordance with the Adopted Regional System-1968 (Re- vised) as it may be amended. (Sec. 2.1) There is no obligation to construct PAGENO="0954" 1636 facilities specified in an amendment until WMATA is sufficiently assured of the availability of adequate funds. Also, no amendment of the plan which will reduce facilities within or serving any local jurisdiction can be adopted without consent of the jurisdiction. (Sec. 2.1) By requiring consent of the local jurisdiction con- cerned, WMATA has limited the authority contained in the Washington Area Transit Authority Compact, Pub. L. No. 89-774, 80 Stat. 1324, allowing amend- ment of the mass transit plan by unanimous vote of the directors representing any two signatories. By its terms the CCA binds the localities to contribute allocated shares of the original esimated costs of construction and acquisition of the metrorail system in accordance with a periodic receipts schedule. In response to requests of WMATA, all localities except the City of Fairfax have accelerated payments under the schedules so that only a small portion of their obligations based on the original cost estimates remains. :WMATA is required to recompute the necessary capital contributions based on revised cost estimates and a specified allocation formula within 5 years of the start of construction (December 9, 1969) or July 1, 1974, whichever is later, and every two years thereafter. (Sec. 3.3(d)) The allocation formula involves four factors: estimated 1990 ridership, population, train miles and stations, and estimated construction costs Section 3.3(h) provides in part as follows: In the case of the allocation of any excess * * * to one or more Political Subdivisions, each such Political Subdivision hereby pledges to each other Poltical Subdivision and to the Authority its faithful cooperation and best efforts to obtain all authorizations required by law to provide the increase in its Capital Contributions resulting from such allocation. Representatives of the localities with whom we discussed the CCA contend that the "best effort" requirement of section 3.3(h) is essentially a political or practical requirement and not a legal one. For example, with the exception of Alexandria, the Virginia juridictions are required to obtain referendum approval for proposed bond issues. Some officials have maintained tl1at one city or county council cannot legally bind subsequent council members to recommend a bond referendum, and thus there is some question whether the "best effort" provision legally requires passage of council resolutions authorizing bond referendums. (To the extent a bond issue referendum authorization is a "governmental" rather than a "business" function, this contention may be meritorious. ~ec 56 Am. Jr. 2d, Municipal Corporations, Etc., §154 (1971). We are not aware of any consideration of this issue by Virginia courts.) It is also contended that state constitutional separation of powers provisions might prevent a court from order- ing a bond referendum to be held. Assuming that a bond issue proposal is pre- sented to the voters, passage may require a considerable effort in tl1e current fiscally conservative atmosphere. Assessing whether a council made its "best efforts" in such a context would be exceedingly difficult. Also, since Virginia cities may not constitutionally exceed certain debt limits, Alexandria's city council may not be legally bound to approve additional bond issues even though no referendum would be required there. ~cc Board of ~vpervisors, supra; But- ton v. Day, 139 S.E.2d 91, 205 Va. 629 (1964) Scofield Engineering Company v. City of Danville. 35 F. Supp. 668 (W.D.Va. 1940), aff'd, 126 F. 2d 942 (1942). Voter approval is not required for District of Columbia bond issues. However, Congress has ultimate authority over the District's bond issue authority, making the District's "best effort" commitment of little strictly legal effect. District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmenal Reorganizaion Act, Pub. L. No. 93-198, title VI, 87 Stat. 813. Another reservation cited by local representatives is WMATA's present breach of the CCA. The failure to recompute capital contributions as required by section 3.3(d) is said to suspend the localities' obligations under the contract, including on the original estimates. Some localities feel that this breach could excuse their performance altogether, requiring a new contract. A similar argument is based on WMATA's failure to provide the financial plan required by section 17(a), title III, of the Washington Area Transit Authority Compact, Pub. L. No. 89-774, 80 Stat. 1324. Some localities believe that they are sufficiently unsure of WMATA's ability to complete the system that they could legally suspend pay- ments until given reasonable assurances that WMATA's obligation will be met. Should the "best effort" provision require judicial construction, the court will be faced with a myriad of considerations and arguments requiring close scrutiny of the laws applicable to each jurisdiction. Any attempt abstractly to PAGENO="0955" 1637 Predict the outcome at present would be more speculation than legal analysis. Moreover, we believe that political and l)raCtiCal considerations, as well as the moral duty to deal fairly with the other localities by acting in accordance with promises made, may be more important to the binding nature of section 3.3(h) than legal considerations. If a recomputation of necessary capital contributions establishes that a locality has paid more than its share, no adjustment of its commitment will be made, and the locality will not be required to pay in excess of its recomputed allOcal)le share. (Sec. 3.3(f)). However, there are no provisions specifying that upon comnpietioll of the system excess contributions will be refunded to the locality concerned. (WMATA has recently proposed a revision of tIme CCA to require such refunds.) An overpayment would mean that another locality had not fully paid its share or that a surplus existed. In either case there would not appear to be significant problems in refunding the overpayment. The City of Fairfax has expressed considerable concern over the absence of an express requirement for overpayment refunds since by some projections it has already paid more than its share even under the latest $4.8 billion estimate. Before accelerating any of its payments, the City required WMATA to contract to repay the accelerated amounts with interest unless the recomnputation required l)y December 9, 1974 was completed on or before June 30, 1975. WMATA failed to complete the recomputation and refunded the payments. A more serious problem would be presented should the regional system not be substantially completed as planned. No cutbacks can be made without approval of the jurisdiction to be affected by the cutback. We presume that a jurisdiction would be reluctant to approve a substantial cutback of services to its citizens without repayment of that portion of the jurisdiction's contribution allocable to the incompleted section. (A jurisdiction's response will of course depend on the reasons for amending the regional system plan.) Absent approval by the affected jurisdiction. WMATA could be held in breach of the contract and the locality could presumably claim its over~)aymeflt. The CCA was not drafted in contemplation of such arm eventuality, and~ pre- sents no answer. The only realistic source of funds for repayment might be the other parties to the agreement. However, any major reallocation based on a reduced system might be objected to on grounds that consideration for any localitys agreement was the other signatories' agreement to contribute capital for a system "substantially in accordance with the Adopted Regional System- 1908 (Revised)." This would appear to be a realistic contention in view of the disproportionately increased burden a reduced systemn could impose on some localities. The respective rights and liabilities of WMATAand the localities and possible judicial remedies for a reduced regional system will depend on the particular factual context of the litigation. As with the question of whether localities are legally bound to contribute funds in accordance with revised construction cost estimates, there is presently no clear or even reasonably reliable legal answer to whether capital contributions must be refumided if the system is not completed.

MICHAEL NEVENS, Committee on the District of Columbia, U.S. House of Representatives, 506 House Office Building Annece 1, Old Congressional Building, TVashington, D.C. DEAR MR. NEVENS: Enclosed is response to question 11 of your November 18, 1975 request. This will complete all questions that you have requested. Sincerely, ECKHARD BENNEWITZ, Director, Office of Budget. Enclosure as stated. QUESTION ii: PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OF THE FY 1775 RAIL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM GOALS AND YOUR PROGRESS AGAINST THESE The Fiscal Year 1975 Rail Capital Program of the Authority as originally sub- mitted in its funding request in Fiscal 1973 was based on the design and con- PAGENO="0956" 1638 struction schedule developed in November 1972 shortly after approval of the revised estimate of system cost which had been developed in November 1970. The goals of that design and construction schedule called for extension of design activities from Metro Center Station in the District of Columbia as follows: 1. Along the "A" route to the Rockville Station in Montgomery County, Md. 2. Along the "B" route to the yard at Glenmont in Montgomery County. 3. Along the entire length of the "C" route to Huntington, Va. 4. Along the entire length of the "D" route to New Carroliton in Prince George's County. 5. Along the "E" route to the station in Greenbelt, Md. 6. Along the entire length of the Branch route (F), Addison route (G), Vienna route (K), and L'Enfant Plaza/Pentagon route (L). 7. Along the Springfield route to the junction with the Franconia route. Construction was scheduled to extend from Metro Center in the District as follows: 1. Along the Rockville route (A) to the station in Rock'c-ille. 2. Along the Glenmont route (B) to the Silver Spring Station. 3. Along the Huntington route (C) to Huntington, Va. 4. Along the "D" route to New Carroilton. 5. Along the "E" route to just past the Georgia Avenue Station. 6. Along the "F" route (Branch) to just beyond the Anacostia River. 7. Along the "G" route to the Addison Station. 8. Along the entire length of the "K" route (Vienna). 9. Along the entire length of the "L" route (L'Enfant Plaza/Pentagon). Even as the scheduled program was being proposed in 1973 and during the interim period between then and Fiscal Year 1975. factors and events were taking place that made this program virtually impossible to achieve. A court decision which enabled the requirement for environmental impact studies and accom- panying public hearings seriously delayed the award of contracts on project units not yet under construction ("E"-Greenbelt route). Changes in alignment, problems iii approving alignment, and delays in decisions affecting the design and construction of project units seriously impacted the progress on many routes such as the Vienna (K), Greenbelt (E), Glenmont (B), Addison (G), and Branch (F) routes. Other delays caused by strikes and floods impeded progress yet more. And while this was going on, the hungry jaw-s of inflation and cost escalation were ravaging the funds appropriated for this period so that even if the delay factors had not been present, not all of tl1e contracts programmed for this period could have been let. Accordingly, by the end of Fiscal Year 1975, the following extensions of final design effort had been achieved: 1. "A"-Rockville route-to the Grosvenor Station in Montgomery County. 2. "B"-Glenmont route-to the Silver Spring Station in Montgomery County. 3. "C"--Huntington route-the entire length of the route to Huntington, Va. 4. "D"-New Carrollton route-the entire route to New- Carroilton Station. 5. "E"-Greenbelt route-to a point just before the Columbia Heights Station. 6. "F"--Branch route-to just beyond the Navy Yard Station to the Anacostia River. 7. "G"-Addison route-to the end of the line at Addison Road. 8. "J"-Springfleld route-to just beyond the Storage and Inspection Yard. 9. "K"-Vienna-to the end of the entire route of Vienna. 10. "L"-L'Enfant Plaza/Pentagon Line-the entire length of the route. However, construction progress seriously lagged and by the end of Fiscal Year 1975, construction activities had been extended as follows: 1. "A"-Rockville route-to just before the Bethesda Station in Mont- gomerv County. 2. "B"-Glenmont route-to just beyond the Silver Spring Station in Montgomery County. 3. "C"-Huntington route-to just beyond the National Airport. 4. "D"-New Carroliton route-to the end of the line at New Carroilton. 5. "F"-Branch route-to the Waterfront Station. PAGENO="0957" 1639 6. "K-Vienna route-to just beyond the Glebe Road Station. 7. "L"-L'Enfant Plaza/Pentagon route-from the junction with the "C" route at the Pentagon to a portal structure adjacent to the freeway ramp in Potomac Park. The scheduled construction program called for about two-thirds of the system to be under construction by the close Of Fiscal Year 1975. Actually, only ap- proximately 39 percent of total miles of line and 45 percent of the total number of stations were underway.

Enclosure as stated. 1974 NET INCOME ANALYSIS Question 1. The volume of "technical papers" and the "computer data on one particular fare system" need to be forwarded. If the latter item is too volu- ininous, an appropriate summary would be acceptable. The computer data consist of at least 25 tabulations and require three 14- inch storage boxes. No summary exists since the data are in themselves sum- maries of such things like volumes, made of access/egress volumes, etc. The appropriate (and the only) summary of this data is the supplied Final Report of which a draft copy has been supplied. The "volume" of technical reports is, in reality, eight separate, independnt papers dealing with different technical aspects of the study. At one time, a particular paper existed as a series of letters, agreements, sections of progress reports, and computer models. These have been assembled into individual re- ports-some of which remain to be completed. We inteiTd to reproduce all of these reports, when completed, into one voluminous "volume" and reproduce copies for technical oriented personnel. In the interim, we will meet with you and your staff to answer any technical type questions. 0 PAGENO="0958"
