VPRA is expanding high-quality, modern passenger rail service across the Commonwealth by making it more frequent, reliable, and convenient. View the proposed passenger and commuter rail service plans below.
The Transforming Rail in Virginia initiative will:
- Double the state-supported Amtrak service between Washington, DC, and Richmond, resulting in near-hourly service along this corridor.
- Increase Amtrak service to Roanoke, Newport News, and Norfolk.
- Extend Amtrak service from Roanoke to the New River Valley (Christiansburg).
- Increase service on the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Fredericksburg and Manassas Lines, including options for late-night and weekend travel times.
