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.

RIDE Magazine | August 2014 3 COMING IN 2017...NEW VRE STATION AT POTOMAC SHORES. FROM THE CEO DOUG ALLEN Chief Executive Officer am so pleased to announce some great news about two VRE projects that have been in the works for a long time. VRE’s original system plan has always included a train station at Potomac IShores (then called Cherry Hill). VRE has partnered with SunCal, the devel- oper of the Potomac Shores community, to build a new station at no cost to VRE. Potomac Shores station is planned to open for service in 2017 (see article on page 8 8), although the opening date is predicated on VRE making other improvements on the Fredericksburg Line. I am also happy to announce that Spotsylvania County has the property access it needs for VRE to start construction of the station and for the County to build a 1,500 space parking lot.

  • April 2020 – Staff Reports (Meeting Canceled)
    MONTHLY COMMISSION MATERIALS April 2020 – Staff Reports (Meeting Canceled) OVERVIEW On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic setting forth a series of actions at the federal, state, and local levels to combat and contain the spread of the virus during this public health emergency. NVTC meeting requirements are governed by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (Virginia Code Chapter 37 of Title 2.2). NVTC currently does not have the legal authority to hold a meeting without a physical quorum (11 members and four jurisdictions represented). NVTC’s electronic participation is limited to General Assembly members during Session and committee meetings with a physical quorum present. NVTC’s Executive Committee determined that the April 2, 2020 Commission should be canceled to comply with Governor Northam’s ban on public gatherings of 10 or more people and to keep Commissioners, staff and the public safe. This packet of information is provided to keep Commissioners, jurisdictional staff, and the public up to date on NVTC projects and activities. This will help NVTC continue to move ahead to maximize future Commission meeting agendas. Since March 11th NVTC jurisdictional transit agencies, including WMATA and VRE, have implemented substantial changes to transit operations, many of which are being updated daily. The information provided in these materials reflect decisions as of the publication date and are subject to change. NVTC will continue to keep Commissioners informed of future meeting decisions and updated information on NVTC activities.
