Revised Master Plan for Union Station, Washington, DC with Appendix 1
During the last year, USRC has worked tirelessly with a large group of Stakeholders including Amtrak, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), Akridge, Union Station Investco (USI) and other parties in holding planning sessions to develop a comprehensive 20-year Master Plan for the Union Station complex and immediate area surrounding Union Station. The goal of the Master Plan is to transform the Station into a 21st Century state-of-the-art Intermodal Transportation Center. The basis of the master plan was developed from the Union Station Intermodal Transportation Center Study completed by DDOT in October 2009 (link to DDOT website here)
.
On March 1, 2010, USRC issued the Revised Master Plan for Union Station, the second publication, which takes the project identification one step further by determining which agencies have a vested interest in each project and work needed to move project from conceptual to an engaged design process.
- RFP for Intercity Bus Deck Capacity Study
- Union Station/Greyhound Terminal Study
- H Street/Benning Road Streetcar Initiative
- Projected Ridership
- Based on ridership forecasts prepared for the project using the regional travel demand forecasting model, the Benning Road Streetcar Extension segment is projected to have approximately 4,300 daily riders. This extension contributes to a significant ridership increase for the streetcar line; the initial H/Benning Streetcar segment by itself has a projected ridership of approximately 1,500 daily riders. As a result of the Extension project, the complete streetcar line from Union Station to Benning Road Metro (combined Benning Road Streetcar Extension and H/Benning Streetcar projects) is projected to have a total daily ridership of approximately 5,800 boardings.
