Background

The contents of the Capital Bikeshare TDP were adapted from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s Transit Development Plan guidelines. One of the primary purposes of completing a TDP is to enable the agency to project capital and operating costs for the six-year period to support adequate budgeting and the identification of any unmet funding needs. TDPs allow agencies to systematically plan for service expansion and improvements in a strategic and fiscally realistic fashion. TDPs establish objectives and measures of effectiveness to track system performance both in the short- and long-term periods. All transit agencies in Virginia are required to complete a TDP every six years. The Arlington Transit Development Plan for ART and STAR service was adopted by the County Board in December 2010, and in following appropriate planning practices, a TDP has been developed for Capital Bikeshare in Arlington County.
