August 21st, 2013 Comments off

4 Line PhotoMetrobus in cooperation with Arlington County and Fairfax County recently completed a seven month long Service Evaluation Study (SES) for the Pershing Drive – Arlington Boulevard Line (Route 4A,B,E,H). The line serves Rosslyn, Arlington Boulevard and Pershing Drive, terminating at Seven Corners and Culmore.

The goals of the Service Evaluation Study are to:

1) Review the capacity, productivity, reliability, and quality of the service;

2) Identify the needs for facilities along the line and

3) Recommend changes to improve service delivery.

The study team reviewed existing operational and traffic conditions along the line, and then conducted a riders survey and a public outreach effort, using one focus group and two public meetings, to gain input from riders. After assessing all the available data and rider inputs, service recommendations were proposed for:

  • Service Hours
  • Frequency
  • Reliability
  • New Limited Stop Service
  • Route Simplicity
  • Bus Stop Distance and Amenities
  • Traffic Operations
