DC2RVA Document Library
Transforming Rail in Virginia’s program of projects is advancing recommendations from the Washington, DC to Richmond Southeast High-Speed Rail (DC2RVA) study. The rail corridor between DC and Richmond is part of a larger nationwide higher-speed intercity passenger rail network identified by USDOT and the states of VA and NC. Completed in 2019, DC2RVA is an environmental document with preliminary rail design that fulfills the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
