Transit Equipment

The trains and buses pro.
posed for the National Capita
region will represent a con.
siderable improvement over the
transit equipment now in use
here and in most other Amer
lean cities. They will be quiet
well lighted, air conditioned
and attractively appointed, and
will be capable of rapid &C
CELEBRATION and deceleration
while giving the passengers a
comfortable ride. The raj
equipment will embody some
of the latest design features
now in use in some European
cities such as Stockholm and
Paris, and will be quite differ
ent from the older type of SUBJ
way equipment now to be seen
in several cities in this coun-
try. The buses will be the larg-
est practicable on downtown
streets and will embody SUBJ
stantial improvements over
even the newest equipment now
in use in the region. Equip
ment of this caliber is essential
if large numbers of commuters
are to be attracted to public
transit.
Consideration was given to
new chronological develop
ments such as monorail, NOV
ing belts, automated buses and
helicopterS, and to greater use
of existing railroad service OF
rights-of-way, but none was
found to be as satisfactory as
the corresponding parts of the
proposed system. New techno-
logical devices will continue to
appear, however, and full use
should be made of them wher-
ever this is advantageous.

The recommended transpor.
tation system will meet the
needs of the region when the
regions population has reached
8 million. This is the popula-
ton projected for 1880 by this
survey.
The cost of building ano
equipping the recommended
new transportation facilities is
estimated at approximately
SIS billion. Express bus and
rail facilities will account fol-
about $565 million of this to-
tai. A large part Of these ia
cilities should be built within
the next 10 years to accom-
modate fast-growing traffic
volumes.
Many of the recommended
highways are already planned
by the District of Columbia,
Maryland, Virginia and the
Federal Government. and will
be built in the course of their
continuing construction work,
but new sources of revenue will
be necessary to finance much
Of the highway work. Part of
the construction costs of the
new express transit system can
be paid for by transit fares, but
the remainder of these costs,
too, will call for new financial
resources. Some of the addi-
tional funds needed to create
the regional transportation
system could be raised by re-
gional taxes or charges on the
users of regional transportation
facilities, or both, and some
should come from Federal con-
tributions.
To bring the recommended
system into being. the follow
ing organizational steps should
be taken:
o The interstate compact es-
tablishing an interstate agency
TO regulate transit in the Wash
inugton Metropolitan Area, al
ready ratified by Virginia and
Maryland, should be approved
by the Congress so that i'm
mediate improvements can be
made in transit service on a
region-wide basis.
. The Congress should at
once create a temporary public
corporation to complement the
efforts of the regulatory
agency. The corporation
should be empowered to &C
quire rights-of-way and con-
stfuct express facilities (acqui-
Sition and construction in
Maryland and Virginia to be
subject to approval of those
States, to operate them or
provide for their operation by
private firms, to finance its
operations from transit reve-
hueS. and from Federal con-
tributions, to review highway
plans as they may affect
transit facilities and consult
with highway agencies upon
those plans, and to assist the
highway agencies in overcom-
ing any deficit in funds.
Q A second interstate COM
pact should be negotiated and
adopted as soon as possible,
creating a new interstate
agency to succeed both of the
above organizations. 1t should
have power to construct and
own transit facilities, to operate
them or provide for their
operation by private firms, to
review and consult upon high
way construction plans as they
may affect transit facilities,
to assist the highway agencies
In overcoming any deficit in
funds, and to regulate and CO.
ordinate any private firms en-
gagged in transit service. This
new agency should be en-
powered to obtain funds by
borrowing and by exercising
limited taxing powers, as well
as from transit fares. During
the negotiation and adoption
of such an interstate compact,
which will be a lengthy process,
the first two agencies should
make an immediate start at
creating the recommended
transportation system.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-12
Interstate Proprietary Agency

Both the interstate regula-
tory agency and the Federal
corporation should terminate
upon the establishment. by in
terstate compact, Of an agency
having more powers than both
of them. This, the ultimate
form Of organization, will take
some time to create, since the
negotiation and adoption of an
interstate compact on such a
complex subject is likely to be
a lengthy process.
This interstate proprietary
agency should be empowered:
(a) To construct and own
transit facilities
(b) To operate transit facil-
tiles or make arrangements
with private firms for their
operation.
(c) To finance its operation
by revenues from transit fares,
by the use Of limited tax pow
erS and by other appropriate
devices.
ID To review highway con-
struction plans as they may
affect transit facilities and to
consult with highway agencies
on these plans.
(e) To assist highway agen-
cieS in overcoming any deficit
in funds.
~ To regulate and co-ordi-
nate private firms engaged in
public transit service.
This organization would have
the full range Of powers needed
by a regional agency to COM
plement the work of exist
ing governmental agencies in
creating the proposed tr&ns-
portation system.

Express Buses

Express buses will operate
over eight routes, totaling sc
miles (one-way). Six routes
will extend to points near the
Washington Circumferential
highway. The buses will travel
on freeways or parkways in the
same lanes as private vehicles.
Stations on the freeways will
be located at intervals of be-
tween l and 2 miles, but most
buses will stop at only a few
stations, or none, between the
outer terminal and downtown.
After reaching downtown, they
