Transit System Planning - MJWells + Associates

Professional transit system planning

For the study metro stations which were used as the major points :

-185 studies in 60 of the 86 existing Metro station areas in metropolitan Washington

-10 studies at all four planned stations along the Silver line extension through Tysons Corner

-11 studies at three of the eight planned stations along the Silver line extension from Tysons Corner to Dulles Airport and beyond.

Public transportation reduces the number of trips made in private vehicles, vehicle miles of travel (VMT), and greenhouse gas emissions; facilitates compact, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly development; saves energy; and improves air quality.

Transportation Demand Management

Traffic and parking problems can be solved in one of two ways: 

(1) Increase supply

(2) Decrease demand.  

Increasing supply requires building new roads, widening existing roads, building more parking spaces, operating more transit services.  This can be expensive, time consuming, and in many instances unacceptable to business, governments, and/or the general public. 

MJWells + Associates have prepared TDM programs for numerous federal agencies, major employers, mixed-use developments/town centers, and schools.  Our staff has expertise in market research, commuter outreach, monitoring, and campaign development and implementation

Transportation services and facilities support and fundamentally shape major activity centers, cities, towns, suburbs, and metropolitan regions.
Streets, trails, and open spaces frame the blocks within which structures are built. Traditional, fine-grain, connected networks of arterial, collector, and local streets offer multiple route choices, disburse traffic over multiple streets, and provide more capacity than contemporary, sparse, collector-and-cul-de-sac networks.
