1 Customer Services, Operations, and Safety Committee Board Information Item III-D May 13, 2010 Rail Fleet Plan Page 54 of 96

2 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary Action Information MEAD Number: Resolution: Yes No TITLE: 2010 Metrorail Fleet Management Plan PURPOSE: To present the 2010 Metrorail Fleet Management Plan, which was last updated in 2006, and to seek feedback and direction on the needs for rail cars and facilities to support future growth of the existing system and the Metrorail Extension to Dulles Airport and Loudoun County. DESCRIPTION: The updated Metrorail Fleet Management Plan will be a tool that provides proper planning for future Metrorail vehicle and facility needs, taking into consideration current and future ridership demand, approved expansion projects, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and the rail car rehabilitation program. The plan complies with the Federal Transit Administration`s (FTA) new requirements effective December 2009 for a 15-year fleet plan. By adopting the plan, the Board does not make any formal commitment to any project or funding for any fleet expansion. The following is a summary of the improvements included in the Plan. Rail Car Growth: This plan includes the needs for 128 cars for a two-phased extension to Dulles and proposed growth of 130 rail cars for running 75% peakperiod 8-car trains by FY2015, as well as, growth of 90 rail cars for running 100% peak-period 8-car trains by FY2020. The summary is as shown below: Page 55 of 96

3 Total Fleet Current Fleet 1,142 With new 7000-series vehicles Dulles Extension Phase I & II: cars 1,270 New cars for growth - 75% peak period 8-car trains: 1, cars New cars for growth - 100% peak period 8-1,490 car trains: + 90 cars Rail Car Storage Needs: The Dulles Extension project anticipates the need for an additional 128 rail cars and will provide up to 226 additional storage spaces. This fleet plan shows that there is currently adequate storage to accommodate the rail cars needed for system growth of 130 cars for running 75% peak-period 8-car trains. However, it is not adequate for system growth of 90 cars for running 100% peak-period 8-car trains. In addition, storage capacity by location does not meet service train dispatching needs, creating operation inefficiency. Existing/Planned Capacity Storage Needed Difference Current Fleet 1,316 1, With new 7000-series vehicles Dulles Extension Phase I & II: cars 1,538 1, New cars for growth - 75% peak period 8-car trains: 1,538 1, cars New cars for growth - 100% peak period 8-car trains: + 90 cars 1,538 1, Page 56 of 96

4 Rail Car Maintenance Facility Needs: The fleet plan identifies the need for a total of 222 maintenance bays, 48 more than currently exists. The Dulles project includes 36 new maintenance bays to support the 128 rail cars for the Dulles Extension, as well as the growth at West Falls Church facility. When the fleet is expanded for system ridership growth by FY2020, there will be a need for 12 additional maintenance shop spaces. The exact yard expansion locations are not specified in the plan. This would be done as part of an overall fleet expansion and funding agreement. FUNDING IMPACT: The adoption of the Metrorail Fleet Management Plan is for planning purposes only and does not obligate Metro or its Board of Directors to the Plan`s projected requirements; therefore there is no funding impact. RECOMMENDATION: Provide feedback and direction on the 2010 Metrorail Fleet Management Plan. Page 57 of 96

6 Purpose Good business practice Complies with Federal Transit Administration s s (FTA)new requirements effective December 2009 for a 15-year fleet plan Assesses current operation and capacity needs Identifies the gap between fleet demand and supply Assists in our capital program review process Page 59 of 96

7 Current Fleet 26% of the fleet (1000-series) is over 30 years Manufacturer Series Number Years Number Purchased Purchased in Service Rohr Industries Breda Construzioni Ferroviarie Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A. (AAI/CAF) 2000 / / Alstom Total 1,142 1,108 Page 60 of 96

8 Current Service and Maintenance Challenges 1000-series cars Belly operating configuration Strain the limits of yard operation Impact maintenance resources Requires additional yard transfers Manual train operation Increase maintenance demand i.e. wheel flats Impacts on-time performance Aging infrastructure Traction power system Signaling system Track and Structures Platform edges Page 61 of 96

9 Ridership Growth and Service Expansion Recent ridership growth rates are around 3% Future ridership growth is projected at 2%-3% up to FY2020 and 1% beyond FY2020, consistent with the projected job and population growth in the WMATA service area Dulles corridor extension will add 23 miles of track and 11 stations Phase I: to Wiehle Avenue, Reston, VA scheduled to be completed in FY2014 Phase II: to Dulles Airport, eastern Loudoun County scheduled to be completed in FY2017 Page 62 of 96

10 Ridership Peak Hour Load Impact without Growth Railcars Assuming no growth railcars: 50% 8-car trains through FY2025 Metrorail system to reach capacity starting FY2020 By FY2020, Orange/Dulles Rail will become highly congested By FY2025, Green Line will become highly congested Page 63 of 96

11 Ridership Peak Load Impact with Growth Railcars Assuming with growth railcars: 100% 8-car trains by FY2020 Bringing relief to peak crowding and keep peak passenger loads in line with capacity Page 64 of 96

12 Railcar Maintenance Needs Generally, the operating spare ratio of 20 22% has to be maintained to fulfill maintenance requirements: Scheduled (preventive) maintenance Unscheduled (corrective) maintenance Number of railcar maintenance shop spaces are required to conduct maintenance activities Industry practice is equal to 15% of the revenue fleet Page 65 of 96

13 Railcar Maintenance Space Needs Shop Year Location Line Opened Capacity Function Alexandria Blue Yellow Servicing, Inspection and Running Repair Branch Green Inspection and Running Repair Brentwood Red Rehab 40 Heavy Repair, Overhaul, Inspection and Running Repair Greenbelt Green Servicing, Inspection Running Repair, Heavy Repair and Overhaul New Carrollton Blue Orange Rehab 28 Servicing, Inspection and Running Repair Shady Grove Red Servicing, i Inspection and 2009 Rehab Running Repair West Falls Church Orange Servicing, Inspection and Running Repair Total Current Car Capacity 174 Future Maintenance Space Needs: Dulles Phase I: 8 maintenance shop spaces are planned at West Falls Church Dulles Phase II: 28 maintenance shop spaces are planned at Dulles Additional 12 maintenance shop spaces will be needed for all 7000-series growth railcars Page 66 of 96

14 Railcar Storage Needs Number of railcar storage spaces are required: Industry practice is equal to the number of total fleet plus 10% extra spaces for railcar movements Future fleet growth will consume all of the available storage capacity and demand more Storage capacity by location does not meet service train dispatching need; storage is not efficiently located Page 67 of 96

15 Railcar Storage Capacity Existing/ i Planned Capacity Storage Needed Net Capacity Current Fleet ,316 1, With 7000 Series: Dulles Phase I: 64 1,354 1, Dulles Phase II: 64 1,538 1, % 8-car Trains: 220 1,538 1, Future Railcar Storage Needs: Dulles Phase I: 38 additional storage spaces are planned at West Falls Church Dulles Phase II: 184 additional yard storage spaces are planned at Dulles Additional 102 yard storage spaces will be needed for the 7000-series growth railcars Page 68 of 96

16 Proposed Railcar Procurement Manufacturer 7000 Series # Of Cars Funded TBD Dulles Phase I 64 Yes 1000-series replacement 300* Yes 4000-series replacement 100* No Dulles Phase II 64 No System expansion 75% 8-car trains System expansion 100% 8-car trains 130 No 90 No * The 1000-series and 4000-series railcars will be retired Page 69 of 96

17 Challenges to Meet the Demand Impacted by fleet size Railcar storage space / location ATC and signaling system Traction power system substation and tie breakers Track and structure Vertical transportation Faregates and fare machines Station design enhancements Page 70 of 96
