VRE to Open New Spotsylvania VRE Station
For Release: October 26, 2015 Contacts: Bryan L. Jungwirth, Director of Public Affairs & Government Relations Virginia Railway Express [email protected] (703) 838-5416 office (571) 238-9084 cell Kathryn A. Smith, Public Information Officer Spotsylvania County Government [email protected] 540-507-7005 office 540-455-8988 cell VRE to Open New Spotsylvania VRE Station Spotsylvania County and Alexandria, VA. – The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) will commence VRE commuter rail service from the new Spotsylvania Station on Monday, November 16, 2015. VRE built the new station and platform while Spotsylvania County built the 1,500-space parking lot for commuters. Spotsylvania County and VRE will host a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. that morning. Spotsylvania Station, located southwest of US 17 and Crossroads Parkway, will become the southern terminus for VRE train service on the Fredericksburg Line and represents the first extension of VRE commuter rail service since it began operations in 1992. The station consists of the 1,500 space parking lot, a waiting area with bathroom facilities, and a 700-foot platform with canopy. “We’ve been long anticipating the completion of the Spotsylvania Station. It will be a tremendous amenity for the citizens and businesses of Spotsylvania County and points south,” said Gary Skinner, Spotsylvania County Supervisor and VRE Operations Board Vice-Chairman, who represents the County’s Lee Hill District. Doug Allen, Chief Executive Officer of VRE, said, “The new Spotsylvania Station is a great addition to our Fredericksburg Line service. The Station is well-designed, conveniently located and has plenty of parking.” This has been a joint effort with several stakeholders working in concert towards a successful overall project. -

MULTIMODAL ACCESSIBILITY TO VRE STATIONS REINALDO GERMANO PLANNING INTERN VIRGINIA RAILWAY EXPRESS 1 MULTIMODAL ACCESSIBILITY TO VRE STATIONS 1. BACKGROUND a. Why should multimodal accessibility to VRE stations be improved? b. What are the benefits of multimodal accessibility? c. How can we encourage multimodal accessibility? 2. CASE STUDY a. How and from where users access VRE? b. How different stations compare? c. How to boost active and public transportation as a way to access VRE stations? 3. FUTURE STUDIES AND LESSONS LEARNED VIRGINIA RAILWAY EXPRESS 2 THE EASIER IT IS TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM, THE MORE LIKELY PEOPLE ARE TO USE IT TRIP FIRST MILE VRE LAST MILE 4% 4% 7% 5% 4% 6% 20% 62% 87% VIRGINIA RAILWAY EXPRESS 2017 VRE Master Agreement Survey 3 WHY SHOULD MULTIMODAL ACCESSIBILITY TO VRE STATIONS BE IMPROVED? • Although the streets and infrastructure that comprise the first and last mile fall outside the boundaries of VRE jurisdiction and control, they remain critical components of an effective service. • It is possible to increase ridership without increasing the need to provide more parking if fewer people drive alone to stations and more people carpool, take the bus, bike, or walk to stations. • Federal, state, regional, and local policies support increased use of public transportation as a means to ease roadway congestion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support economic and physical health in communities.

PRESS RELEASE Office of Public Affairs
PRESS RELEASE Office of Public Affairs For Immediate Release Contact: Karen Finucan Clarkson 571-255-0931 (mobile) 703-838-5433 (office) [email protected] VRE Is Perfect Commuting Alternative During Metrorail Station Closures Commuter Rail Connects Franconia-Springfield and Alexandria with Stations in NOVA & DC Alexandria, Va. – When the six Metrorail stations south of National Airport shut down this summer, the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) will be a convenient alternative for many commuters. VRE offers service at two stations, Franconia-Springfield and Alexandria, that are a short walk from the soon-to-be closed Franconia-Springfield and King St-Old Town Metrorail stations. VRE trains run northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening with stops at Crystal City in Virginia, and L’Enfant and Union Station in Washington, D.C. “VRE makes commuting easy,” said Doug Allen, the railroad’s chief executive officer. “Our 32 daily trains provide nearly 20,000 passenger trips and connect to all six Metrorail lines. VRE is a great commuting alternative for many Metrorail riders affected by this summer’s station shutdown.” VRE trains arrive at Union Station each weekday between 6:24 and 9:17 a.m. and depart Union Station between 12:55 and 7:05 p.m. While all trains stop at the Alexandria station, only trains on the Fredericksburg line stop at Franconia-Springfield, where parking at the Metro garage will be free during the station closure. Passengers can see which trains have the most available seating by visiting VRE’s train utilization trends page at www.vre.org. -

Washington, DC to Richmond Third Track Feasibility Study HOUSE
REPORT OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF RAIL AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Washington, DC to Richmond Third Track Feasibility Study TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA HOUSE DOCUMENT NO. 78 COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA RICHMOND 2006 Third Track Feasibility Study December 2006 WASHINGTON, D.C. TO RICHMOND THIRD TRACK FEASIBILITY STUDY PREFACE This study was requested by the 2006 General Assembly session in HB 5012. In addition to an analysis of the feasibility of constructing a third track, this study responds to the General Assembly’s direction to expand the scope to: (i) Identify needed right-of-way parallel to existing tracks, including right-of-way owned by CSX or by other parties; (ii) Identify major environmental issues; (iii) Develop an implementation plan based on the most optimal options, including the schedules for each phase of the project as well as financing for the project; (iv) Review legal and regulatory issues; and (v) Estimate the cost of powering passenger trains by electricity for a Third Track from Washington, D.C. to Richmond. The Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) is charged with ensuring that the Commonwealth of Virginia achieves the highest public benefit for the dollars invested in our rail programs. There is no doubt that this is a high priority freight and passenger rail corridor that will require significant investment in order to maintain and improve mobility for people and goods. DRPT is taking a strategic approach in studying this high priority corridor. Our new approach is based on establishing public benefits, identifying public/private partnership opportunities, and providing realistic cost estimates based on a comprehensive plan that identifies all of the improvements and issues that need to be addressed in the provision of reliable, sustainable, expandable, and efficient freight and passenger rail operations. -
