DC2RVA

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).

The DC2RVA study had the goal of increasing high-speed rail options from Washington, DC, to Richmond, VA, through the use of existing rail infrastructure, corridors, and railroad right-of-way and adding four new higher-speed intercity round trips to the corridor.

Additional Information
*The amended MOA adds the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District (which encompasses three major properties previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places: The Almshouse, Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and Hebrew Cemetery and three newly identified sites—the City Hospital and Colored Almshouse Site, the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground, and the City Powder Magazine Site). On June 16, 2022 and the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground (44HE1203) was expanded and determined to be eligible for listing in the NRHP and a contributing element to the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District after the 2019 MOA was executed, and this new information required additional consultation among the Signatories and the Consulting Parties.
