BIKE

The City added four new Capital Bikeshare stations prior to Surges 3 and 4, for a
total of 24 stations citywide. Additional bikeshare capacity is being added at the
Braddock Road Metro Station.

Capital Bikeshare has added an option for users to buy a single trip for $2.

City staff and volunteers will lead morning "bike trains" to guide groups of cyclists
between the Braddock Road and Pentagon City Metrorail Stations.

ROADS

New carsharing and taxi areas will be added at the Braddock Road Metro
Station.

In order to accommodate additional bus capacity, the City will temporarily prohibit
street parking around Metro stations affected by surges, and will restrict some street
sections to buses only. Please be alert for new traffic signs and patterns.

The City has adjusted its paving schedule to avoid work on major roads that may
coincide with SafeTrack surges, and has asked private utility companies to do the
same for scheduled maintenance.

The Alexandria Police Department will provide additional traffic control at key
intersections impacted by the surges.

The City's Traffic Management Center will be fully staffed and ready to assist and
adjust traffic signal timing based on traffic needs.

During Surges 3 and 4, Alexandria taxi companies are required to offer a $15 flat
rate, regardless of passengers or baggage, for trips between National Airport and the
King Street-Old Town, Braddock Road, and Eisenhower Avenue Metro Stations.

TELEWORK

The City is reaching out to employers, businesses, and retailers to encourage

teleworking and flexible work schedules. The City Manager has directed all City
departments to expand telework and alternate work schedules for City employees.
