Metro Use is Much Higher Than Expected In 2001, the transportation study accompanying the Merrifield Plan assumed the site would realize a 20% reduction in vehicle trips due to its proximity to the metro and transportation demand management practices. In 2005, WMATA conducted a survey of the site and found 47% of residents use metro. Annual surveys performed by owner find similar levels of metro use. McGuireWoods | 5 CONFIDENTIAL
