Rapid transit systems which have been built in the modem era represent investments in a mode of transport that nearly all other political, economic, institutional, and regulatory factors have been aligned to defeat. However, construction of a rail transit network does provide the opportunity to re-orient metropolitan area development in a manner which will take advantage of the travel efficiencies afforded by this transit mode and affect regional travel behavior and quality of life.

New substantive comments (i.e., those on the Tier 2 Revised EA) are addressed in Appendix G of the Tier 2 Final EA. This page intentionally left blank. Virginia Railway Express (VRE) – 6/17/15 Responses to Local/Regional Agency Comments D-1 1.) The Preferred Alternatives is indeed a combination of elements that were identified as part of Alternatives 2A and 2B. Recognizing the cost and complexity of the proposed improvements, VDOT has recommended that the project be implemented in phases. The proposed first phase extends the express lanes for 22 of the original 25 miles, from I-495 to Gainesville (University Boulevard), and then transitions to a traditional HOV lane in each direction. Efforts will be made to minimize expansion of VDOT right of way at University Boulevard and other areas in proximity to the B Line railroad corridor so as not to preclude options to expand the railroad corridor at a future time. 2.) In the Tier 2 Draft EA, park-and-ride lots were proposed at University Boulevard in Gainesville and in Haymarket.
