Railcar series 1000 and 4000 were disposed and130, 5000 series railcars were removed from passenger service. Metro’s railcars investments contributed to increased reliability with trainstraveling 113,000 miles before an incident; and a nearly 37% decline incustomer offloads due to equipment failure.Rail Infrastructure – Power: Completed installation of 7,538 orangeboots on the entire mainline and 8,651 linear feet of cables off theground in the underground section. Metro installed six tie breakers, fourtraction power substations, and three uninterruptable power supply. Thecompletion of power projects contributed to a 46% reduction in trainoffloads due to power issues.Rail Infrastructure – Track and Structures Rehabilitation and Red LineWater Mitigation: Metro experienced a 48% reduction in speedrestrictions due to improved track. As of third quarter of FY2018, Metrois above or on target with its planned deliverables for structural concretepoured, deck joints, grout pads, fastners, and running rail. Metro addedRed Line Leak Mitigation to its FY2018 deliverables. Structural concretepoured and grout pads increased planned deliverable to addressdefects. Plannned deliverables for leak mitigation and drain rehabilitationare behind schedule due to reallocating resources to higher priorities. Cellular Phone and Radio System Upgrade: Customers benefited fromunderground cell phone service between Metro Center to PotomacAvenue, as well as Benning Road to Addison Road. Metro accelerateddelivery of 450 multi-band radios for MTPD officers. The new radios willimprove interoperability. Rail Station Lighting: Completed 55 of 61 mezzanine lightimprovements. Light levels improved at eight Blue/Orange LineStations. New light fixtures produced a 67% energy savings.Rail Station Improvement - Escalators Replacement: Metro replaced 23escalators. Escalator availability exceeded the 93% target.Rail Station Improvement - Elevator Replacement: Elevator availabilitymet the target of 97%. Metro rehabilitated 9 elevators.Bus Investment: Delivery of bus replacements are slightly behindschedule due to new regulation requirements. Other bus projects, suchas bus rehabilitations, energy storage system replacements andtransmission assemblies, are on or ahead of schedule.Bus - Andrews Bus Garage: Work continues on the installation ofmechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior finishes, and site securityfencing. The project is 82% complete with a projected service date ofJuly 2019.
