COG Board of Directors

For more than 50 years, the MetropolitanWashington Council

of Governments, known as COG, has helped develop regional solutions to

such issues as the environment, affordable housing, growth and development,

public health, child welfare, public safety, homeland security, and

transportation. COG is an independent, nonprofit association comprised of

elected officials from 21 local governments, members of theMaryland and

Virginia state legislatures, and members of the U.S. Congress.

Policies are set through the COG Board of Directors, the National Capital

Region Transportation Planning Board, and theMetropolitanWashington

Air Quality Committee. These three boards are responsible for a broad

range of issues under the COG umbrella. Supporting committees help shape

programs through the dedicated work of a wide array of public servants,

from police chiefs to social workers.

The Board of Directors is COG’s governing body and is responsible for its overall policies,

functions, and funds. Board members are appointed each year by the participating local

governments and by caucuses of state legislative delegations from the region. The COG Board

takes action on committee recommendations, discusses current and emerging regional

problems, and receives briefings on issues facing the region. Board meetings are open to the

public, and representatives from the media frequently attend. The COG Board meets monthly.

safety, and the impact of the fiscal crisis on area nonprofitsand foundations. The Commuter Connections programseized the opportunity to promote its new, onlineridematching system just as it garnered unprecedentedinterest due to a summer of record-high gasoline prices. Andwith an eye to the future, COGmoved full steam ahead byunveiling its regional climate change report andrecommendations and launching its GreaterWashington2050 initiative.

In order to better assist its member governments, COGhas begun to streamline its operations to create a leaner,more focused and financially stable organization.Whilecutting expenses, COG is also striving to become a greener,more sustainable regional leader. This publication is anexample of this commitment. To reduce printing costs and save some trees,COG is combining its useful regional directory with its annual report ofaccomplishments.

We hope that as you look through this document, you will notice themany ways COG is helping the region respond to immediate needs andensuring that metropolitanWashington is the best place to live, work, playand learn for future generations.

Balancing the region’s short-term needswith its long-term goals.It’s the principal challenge for COG and its membergovernments during the current economic crisis. Areagovernments are being squeezed. Depressed housing andcommercial property values and shrinking revenues aremaking it more difficult to provide critical services to arearesidents. At the same time, area leaders must consider howtoday’s decisions will affect long-term goals related togrowth and development, climate change and energy use.

COG is of greatest value to the region during times likethese. Just last year, we brought together elected officials and keystakeholders on a number of urgent topics like foreclosures, pedestrian

The National Capital Region Transportation

Planning Board (TPB) is the federally

designated Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO) for the region, and

plays an important role as the regional

forum for transportation planning. The

TPB is responsible for developing regional

transportation policy and a long-range

transportation plan for the metropolitan

Washington region, as well as programs

that the federal government must approve

in order for federal-aid transportation funds

to flow to the area. The TPB was created

in 1965 by an agreement among local

governments and the state departments

of transportation in response to the

requirements of the Federal Aid Highway

Act of 1962. In July 1966, by mutual

agreement, the TPB became associated

with COG. The TPB meets monthly.

The Metropolitan Washington Air Quality

Committee (MWAQC) is the entity certified

by the mayor of the District of Columbia and

the governors of Maryland and Virginia to

prepare an air quality plan for the

Washington Metropolitan Area under the

Federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

In executing its responsibilities, MWAQC

coordinates air quality planning activities

among COG and other external committees

and the Transportation Planning Board,

reviews policies, resolves policy differences,

and adopts a regional air quality plan for

transmittal to the District of Columbia and

the states of Maryland and Virginia.

MWAQC meets monthly.

The tidal wave of foreclosureshas had a major impact on communities by

displacing families, leaving neighborhoods

vulnerable to vandalism, and complicating

local governments’ budgets due to lost

revenue in property taxes. Like many metropolitan areas across the

country, the National Capital Region is being hit hard by the foreclosure

crisis. In fact, it has one of the fastest growing foreclosure rates in the

nation according to a report prepared for COG by the Center for

Regional Analysis at GeorgeMason University. Foreclosures in the

Washington DC Region showed area families losing homes six times

more frequently during the first quarter of 2008 than in 2007.

Foreclosures, CONTINUED

During a one-year period ending in

February 2008, 15,613 homes went

into foreclosure. The report also

illustrated the scope of the

foreclosure problem in the area.

While PrinceWilliam County in

Virginia and Prince George’s County in Maryland have experienced the

highest number of foreclosures, neighborhoods in Germantown,Maryland,

Herndon, Virginia and Centreville, Virginia also had dramatic increases.

While the report predicted the region will rebound from the current crisis

due to its strong economy,

area leaders recognized the

need for immediate action to

help homeowners currently

facing the threat of

foreclosure. At the Regional

Housing Foreclosure Summit

in June, over 200 public

officials, housing industry

representatives, and nonprofit

leaders gathered to hear results from the report and discuss ways to work

together to strengthen the region’s safety net for affected families.

One of the key outcomes of the event was the creation of a fund

administered by COG to help local nonprofits responding to the foreclosure

crisis. Freddie Mac, which co-sponsored the summit with COG, provided an

initial contribution and COG awarded grants to six area organizations in

September. Moving forward, COGwill continue to monitor trends and

pursue opportunities to partner with the public, private and nonprofit

sectors to help families affected by foreclosure.

Greater Washington 2050, CONTINUED

The morning session of the workshop featured an expert panel

discussion on how economic developments, technological innovations,

and climate change might affect the future of the region. During the

afternoon session, participants discussed four different scenarios of

how the GreaterWashington area could

evolve over the decades ahead. The

scenarios were designed to help regional

leaders break away from conventional

forecasting to explore alternative futures and the kind of policies that

could be allow the region to respond successfully across a wide range

of future circumstances.

The coalition has also focused on developing planning principles

based on local vision plans and a regional compact to guide future

development. In addition, GreaterWashington 2050will be conducting

a survey of area residents in early 2009 to gauge public opinion on

issues related to the region’s long-term growth and development.

Over 200 area officials,transportation planners, law enforcement officers and community

activists gathered at the National Press Club to discuss ways to

improve pedestrian safety at a regional workshop sponsored by

COG, theWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

(WMATA), AAA, the District Department of Transportation

(DDOT), Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT),

and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Pedestrians

account for 20 percent of individuals killed on the roads in the

Washington region, and as the population continues to grow,

there will be more pedestrians and heavier traffic congestion.

Pedestrian Safety, CONTINUED

Attendees worked together in a series of sessions and made several

recommendations including continued, aggressive public outreach

messages such as the Street Smart campaign. Street Smart uses creative

radio advertising in English and Spanish to reach drivers, and targets

pedestrians through outdoor and transit advertising. Street Smart began

as a once-a-year effort and has expanded with both spring and fall

campaigns. The program is coordinated by the Transportation Planning

Board, and is supported by federal funds made available through state

governments, and funding from some area jurisdictions. Attendees also

recommended better placement of bus stops throughout the region. On

the topic of enforcement, participants called for consistent traffic laws

across jurisdictional lines, traffic units dedicated to enforcing pedestrian

safety laws, and more community policing.

In order to help the nation’s metropolitan areas(which now account for over 80 percent of the U.S. population)

prepare for potential attacks, the federal government instituted

the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) program. Purchasing

radiation detectors that will help police and fire personnel detect a

“dirty” or nuclear bomb and increasing the ability of area hospitals

to treat large numbers of individuals following such an attack are

two key areas in which the National Capital Region will allocate

the $59.8 million it received in 2008 UASI funding from the

U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

In addition to providing support to the UASI funding process, the

National Capital Region Emergency Preparedness Council (EPC) held its

annual Senior Leaders Seminar in October. The goal of the seminar was to

ensure that all jurisdictions in the National Capital Region are prepared to

effectively respond to and recover from a pandemic influenza. The event

also sought to identify strategies for the public and private sectors to cope

with a catastrophic public health emergency, as well as communicating

messages to the public.

In anticipation of the unprecedented demand that the inauguration of

President Barack Obama would place on the region’s infrastructure and

emergency response agencies, COG staff provided wide-ranging support of

numerous public safety committees addressing matters related to the

event. The COG Executive Director also initiated regular discussions on

inauguration planning with the District of Columbia City Administrator to

speak about questions and concerns of area Chief Administrative Officers

(CAOs). COG staff is partnering with D.C.’s Homeland Security and

EmergencyManagement Agency (HSEMA) to complete an after action

report on the event.

At its November meeting, the COG Board of Directors

adopted the stringent goals for reducing the region’s greenhouse

gas emissions presented in the National Capital Region Climate

Change Report. COG’s decision, one of the few in the country to

affect a multi-state region, proposes to return to 2005 levels of

regional greenhouse gas emissions by 2012. The mid-range goal is

for a reduction of 20 percent below the 2005 levels by 2020, and

the long-term goal is for a reduction of 80 percent below the

2005 levels by 2050. The report is the culmination of an intense,

year-and-a-half long effort by COG’s Climate Change Steering

Committee, which was comprised of officials from the District of

Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. COG staff took the extra step to

make sure that each member government was briefed on the

report’s findings and recommendations by presenting the report

at city and county council meetings and special outreach events.

Frederick County

While a growing number of individual

cities and counties are moving forward

to address climate change, this is one of

the first programs to involve localities

over an entire metropolitan area.

The region’s elected officials view this

approach as one that will provide a

catalyst for improving the environment

and provide for a prosperous and

sustainable future. Rep. Gerald Connolly

(VA-11th) indicated the immediate need

to act on the issue. “I believe the debate

over the science of global warming needs to end and addressing the reality

of global warming should begin,” he said.

The metropolitanWashington region is growing. COG forecasts an

addition of 1.6 million new residents and 1.2 million new jobs to the region

by 2030. Based on current business-as-usual projections of growth in

population, housing, employment, and energy use, total greenhouse gas

emissions in the region will increase by 33 percent by 2030 and 43 percent

by 2050.

Climate Change, CONTINUED

“Most of the recommendations in this climate change report are common

sense things that your mom used to tell you to do,” said Montgomery

County Councilmember Nancy Floreen, who serves as Chair of the COG

Climate Change Steering Committee. “In the fight against climate change,

we want to remind citizens that small actions like turning off the lights,

lowering the thermostat, walking more, and riding the bus can add up to a

big impact and can help them save money at the same time.”

The Anacostia watershedencompasses 176 square mileswithin suburbanMaryland and the District of

Columbia and is one of the most densely

populated watersheds within the Chesapeake

Bay basin. Restoration efforts since 1987 are

beginning to improve conditions in the

watershed, which has suffered from centuries

of abuse. In 2006, the COG Board of Directors

Anacostia Watershed, CONTINUED

In September,Maryland GovernorMartin O’Malley,

who serves on the AnacostiaWatershed Restoration

Partnership Leadership Council, participated in a boat

tour of the river and released an Action Agenda of

over 30 actions that will take place over the next

three years to clean up the polluted watershed. The

Action Agenda highlighted the progress made to date

such as decreased pollution levels, 10 newmiles of

restored streams, and 27 new acres of tidal wetlands.

It also noted that goals on trash reduction, aquatic

health and reforestation have not yet been achieved.

In November, the Partnership released the first phase

of the comprehensive “AnacostiaWatershed

Restoration Plan,” being prepared by U.S. Army Corps

of Engineers. Through this plan, which owes a debt of

gratitude to the region’s Congressional delegation,

the Partnership is working to identify long-term

restoration actions.

While the region’s progress in reducingground-level ozone pollution has drawn praise in

recent years, area leaders are also calling attention to the great

strides being made in relation to fine particle pollution. This form

of pollution is a mixture of microscopic solids and liquid droplets

suspended in the air, which can get deep into peoples’ lungs and

bloodstreams. Local governments are helping improve air quality

through wind purchases and green buildings, improving energy

efficiency, and increasing tree canopy in the region. In addition,

through the adoption of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (the

“Healthy Air Act” in Maryland), states in the region are working to

reduce pollution from power plants. The state rules will reduce

sulfur dioxide, a major component of fine particles, from power

plants by 80% starting in 2010.

Air Quality, CONTINUED

In October, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

proposed to reclassify the region as an area that meets its fine

particle standards because its air quality monitors have shown

improvements since 2005. The action was greeted with

enthusiasm by area officials who serve on theMetropolitan

Washington Air Quality Committee, the body charged with

preparing air quality plans for the region. Falls Church Council

Member David Snyder, who served asMWAQC Chair, called the

action “a powerful validation of the hard work of all elements of

the region—government, businesses and individuals.” MWAQC’s

most recent plan, released earlier in the year, aimed to make even

deeper fine particle pollution reductions than those required by

the Clean Air Act. For the region to be in compliance of federal

standards, however, EPAmust make the reclassification official.

Metro Funding, CONTINUED

Former Rep. Tom Davis, (R-VA) introduced the funding legislation in the

House of Representatives and together with Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), worked

tirelessly to keep the issue at the forefront of the Congressional agenda. The

fundingmeasure was signed by former President GeorgeW. Bush in October

and authorizes $1.5 billion over 10 years in matching funding for capital

improvements needed byWMATA. This action is crucial during a time when

transit systems across the country are experiencing a surge in demand and

Metrorail expects to have a record-breaking year in terms of ridership. The

District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia have dedicated funds to qualify

for a federal match, and in October, the U.S. Senate passed ameasure which

provided the last piece of a puzzle that has been many years in the making.

At its Annual Membership and Awards Luncheon in December, COG

presented the 2008 Elizabeth and David Scull Metropolitan Public Service

Award to Davis and Cardin for their leadership in helping the region secure

a dedicated funding source forWMATA. This award is presented to

outstanding elected officials who have shown great determination and

perseverance in improving the metropolitanWashington region.

access in the region. In June, the TPB approved twelve projects, including

wheelchair accessible taxicabs, which will improve the access and mobility

of persons with disabilities and low-income commuters in the region. As

the designated recipient of federal funding under the Job Access Reverse

Commute (JARC) and New Freedom programs of the Federal Transit

Transportation Access, CONTINUED

While most of the District’s neighboring jurisdictions have accessible

taxi service, wheelchair accessible cabs will be available in the District of

Columbia for the first time following this

action by the TPB. Funding was also provided

to support coordinated driver training and

marketing. This funding will help raise the

number of accessible taxicabs in the District

from zero to 21. “As result of these endorsed

projects, D.C. will no longer be one of the

fewmajor U.S. cities without accessible taxi

service,” said Alexandria City Councilmember

Tim Lovain, who chaired the TPBHuman Service Transportation Coordination

Task Force, which developed priorities for the project selection process.

In November, an independent review was released onMetroAccess, the

door to door service provided by theWashingtonMetropolitan Area Transit

Authority (WMATA) for transit users unable to take the bus or Metrorail

system due to a disability. The review, which was prepared for the TPB,

found that while progress has been made in improving the service, a

number of challenges remain.

For over a decade,Commuter Connectionshas encouraged area residents to

use alternatives to driving to

work alone. In summer 2008,

during the well-publicized rise in

gas prices, it experienced an unprecedented number of inquiries for its

ridematching service in 2008. In June alone, the program received a 184

percent increase in applications compared to the same time last year.

In an effort to make the decision to adopt ridesharing easier, Commuter

Connections unveiled its free, real-time ridematching system to the public

in September. The new, state-of-the-art system provides area commuters

with a list of individuals who live and work near them, have similar work

schedules, and are interested in carpooling or vanpooling to and from work.

The system also provides other important information such as the closest

park and ride lots, transit stations and telework centers to each resident’s

home. A higher level of interactivity is one of the system’s core concepts

and the new system puts complete control in the hands of commuters.

Better Commutes, CONTINUED

Speaking at the press conference for the system’s launch, Charles Jenkins,

Frederick County Commissioner and TPB Chairman called the new system a

collaborative effort among the transportation network’s regional members.

“This new software represents a three-year effort by Commuter Connections’

network members to make it easier than ever for area commuters to find

nearby carpoolers,” Jenkins said.

On September 22, Commuter Connections helped organize the first

region-wide Car Free Day in theWashington metropolitan area, an annual

international event which seeks to raise awareness of auto-alternative

means of transportation.

The TPB added a number ofregionally significant projectsto the 2008 Constrained Long-Range

Transportation Plan (CLRP). The first new project focuses on improving

access to Fort Belvoir from both I-95 and the Fairfax County Parkway, in

anticipation of increased demand at the facility due to the Base Realignment

and Closures (BRAC) act. This project uses federal funding and is slated to

be complete by 2013.

The second new project is the creation and operation of a streetcar

system running approximately 4.7 miles between Pentagon City in Arlington

County and Skyline in Fairfax County. For most of the route, streetcars will

travel in mixed traffic. This project utilizes state and local funding and is

scheduled to be complete by 2016.

The third new project is the implementation of the Fairfax Connector

Service Transit Development Plan. This plan includes increasing bus service

on priority routes, purchasing 35 new Fairfax Connector buses, expanding

theWest Ox Bus Operations Facility to accommodate new buses and

increased service, and improving bus stop access and safety. This project

uses local funding and has a completion target of 2011.

AdvocatingChanges inTransportation

FundingIn September, theTPB voted to adopta set of policy principles

calling for a substantial increase in federal transportation funding and

major changes in how those funds are administered. The principles outline

what the TPB believes should be included in the next federal transportation

funding package which Congress is beginning to develop. The current

federal surface transportation act was authorized in 2005 and expires on

September 30, 2009.

Current legislation allocates funding for highways based on different

formulas and procedures than it uses for transit. While vehicle miles

traveled continue to decline, transit agencies across the country have seen

their ridership records shattered. The principles approved by the TPB state

that fundamental changes are needed in the current structure and funding

of federal surface transportation programs to change cumbersome and

inefficient program structures and inadequate funding levels that have

resulted in serious under-investment in transportation.

The principles call for a more comprehensive examination of

transportation investments, regardless of mode, which includes analysis of

economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits. An increased

federal focus on the issue of congestion in metropolitan areas, such as the

National Capital Region, was also a key point of the approved principles.

The principles also address the manner in which substantial increases in

federal funding should be obtained. A combination of increased fuel taxes

and user fees, variable pricing strategies, and national infrastructure banks

were identified as prospective sources.

Collaboration, CONTINUED

COG hosted a workshop in October with the National Governor’s

Association and the National Association of Regional Councils to provide

participants from over a dozen states with a sound understanding of the

work of Metropolitan

Planning Organizations

and Regional Councils.

COGmembers, staff and

area officials explained

how regional organizations

can complement state

initiatives in transportation,

economic development,

emergency preparedness

and environmental

planning.

In addition to improving collaboration with its state and federal partners,

the Northern Virginia Regional Commission and COG helped organize the

first-ever U.S.-European Conference of Metropolitan Regional Councils in

April. The two-day event, held in Alexandria, Virginia, brought together

more than 170 senior policy officials and staff representing over 40 U.S. and

European regions to sign a declaration of cooperation on climate change.

At its annual meeting, COG awarded NVRC with its Regional Partnership

Award for its leadership on the cross-Atlantic effort.

As a regional leader devoted

to the goal of reducing greenhouse gas

emissions and promoting sustainable

development, COG understands the importance of leading by

example.With the help of its knowledgeable and creative staff,

COG has collaborated with its building co-owners, ICMA and

ICMA-RC, and management to improve its water and energy

efficiency and to promote green consciousness through an enhanced

recycling program, lighting controls, building engineering, and

commuting policies that promote telework, transit, bicycling and

walking to work. In addition, the first phase of COG’s green roof

was completed in 2008.

Challenge, an initiative which unites individuals, schools, congregations,

businesses, governments, and other institutions in the attempt “to take a

two-billion-pound bite out of the capital region’s carbon dioxide emissions

by 2009.” COG also encouraged its members to join the challenge which

provides individuals and jurisdictions with specific steps they can take to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the COG Board expressed

support for resolutions in theMaryland and Virginia general assemblies,

including aMaryland bill to establish a 15% reduction in electricity

consumption, and a Virginia bill to establish a Commission on Energy and

Climate change. The Board also approved resolutions in Maryland and

Virginia to establish Green Building standards.

In October, COG launched its podcast series, “The COG

Podcast,” which features discussionswith regional elected officials and experts

on key issues affecting the metropolitanWashington area. The podcasts are

audio recordings that feature regular addresses by the COG Board Chair as

well as episodes on a variety of topics related to COG’s primary areas of

focus, including the environment, transportation,

community planning, foster care and adoption,

homeland security, and public health, among

others. Thus far, The COG Podcast has featured

Steven Pearlstein, Business columnist at The

Washington Post, Michael Knapp, Montgomery

County Council Member and former COG Board

Chair, and Tim Lovain, TPBMember and

Alexandria City Councilmember, among others.

There are two options for listening to the podcasts. One option is to visit

the COGWeb site and download individual episodes. A second option

allows people to subscribe to the series, automatically receiving new

episodes when they are uploaded. The COG Podcast was recently added to

the Apple iTunes directory. The podcasts were promoted to the general

public as well as the media (the audio from The COG Podcast is available

free of charge for use by media outlets) and community and interest groups.

Responding toNonprofits’NeedsAs the economic

crisis worsens,donations to nonprofits are diminishing at precisely the time when their

services are needed the most. This led the COG Board of Directors, at its

October meeting, to call for continued charitable giving from Fannie Mae

and Freddie Mac. The two corporations donated a combined $47million to

area nonprofits and community groups in 2007.

In December, COG participated in “Nonprofit 911,” an event bringing

together over 500 nonprofit, business, and government leaders to develop a

plan of action that redefines how the nonprofit sector operates in a new

fiscal reality.
