Description:
Abstract:
DC Circulator Bus Lines. The dataset contains locations and attributes of DC Circulator Lines, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies.
A database provided by the District Department of Transportation identified DC Circulator Lines. DC Circulator is a local transit option that provides access between key and popular locations in the District.
All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.
METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Purpose:
This data is used for the planning and management of Washington, D.C. by local government agencies.
Supplemental_Information:
The DC Circulator is all about downtown Washington, DC. Its five routes link cultural, entertainment and business destinations within the city's central core, and its buses featuring low floors, big windows, and multiple doors for easy on-and-off service are unlike any other public transit in town.
The Circulator promotes ease of movement, encourages transit use and enhances existing public transportation systems, while also helping to reduce congestion and air pollution.
The DC Cirulator is the product of a unique public/private partnership between the District Department of Transportation, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and DC Surface Transit, Inc. The idea for a quick, efficient, low-cost public transit system originated in the National Capital Planning Commission's 1997 Extending the Legacy, and the Downtown Business Improvement District championed its implementation initially.

DDOT updated the Circulator Lines and stops for FY2012.

Process_Description:
1.) Reroute of Union Station-Navy Yard near Union Station to allow for shared stop with Union Station-Georgetown route
Beginning October 1, 2012, Union Station-Navy Yard buses will detour westbound around Columbus Plaza, make a left on E Street NE, right on North Capitol Street, and right on Massachusetts Ave NE. The shared stop will be on eastbound Massachusetts Ave NE, just before E Street, where the current Union Station-Georgetown route stops now. A stop is also being added on westbound Massachusetts Avenue before Columbus Circle to allow those who wish to exit the bus before entering the Plaza to do so.
Please note, Union Station-Georgetown route will proceed from that stop to the garage to layover. The Union Station-Navy Yard bus will proceed from this shared stop back towards the Navy Yard via 2nd Street on its normal routing. This change is necessitated by the fact that Columbus Plaza construction will eliminate the current Navy Yard route stop at the Thurgood Marshall Building in the fall 2012.
2.) Union Station-Navy Yard slight reroute at terminus
At the southern terminus of the route, instead of turning right from 1st Street SE to I Street SE, buses will turn right from 1st Street SE to K Street SE. No bus stops will be impacted. Buses will continue on the normal route to the Navy Yard Metro stop and points north and east.
3.) Map change at 295 and Howard Rd
The Circulator map will be updated to reflect current operations, whereby buses turn off of 295 onto Howard Rd directly, instead of using the clover leaf further to the south and looping back on Firth Sterling. No bus stops will be impacted.
