The Manassas Line operated at 94 percent OTP 12% while the Fredericksburg Line was 95 percent. Train interference and restricted speed orders were the primary causes of reduced overall OTP. Typical passenger handling 23% 44% and schedule issues were the remaining principal causes of delays. In January, VRE operated 583 trains with 31 trains 19% “Other” includes those arriving over five minutes late to their final destination. trains that were delayed due to late turns, weather There were 18 late trains on the Manassas Line and 13 and maintenance of way late trains on the Fredericksburg Line. issues, etc. Train Interference - 37 Mechanical Failure - 1 Signal/Switch Failure - 0 Schedule – 10 Passenger Handling - 16 Other - 1 Restricted Speed - 19 Note: There were a total of 82 delays during the month of December but only 31 late trains. The reason for the difference is that a train may encounter several delays during its operation which may or may not cause it to be late. For instance, a train could be late leaving Union Station waiting for another train to depart the station. During the course of its run it could also encounter a signal issue, yet still arrive at its final destination on-time. That train experienced two delays but was not “LATE” (arriving at its final destination later than five minutes). TRIP DELAYS SYSTEM-WIDE NOV. DEC. JAN.

  • Ceo Report November 2015 Our Mission
    CEO REPORT NOVEMBER 2015 OUR MISSION The Virginia Railway Express, a joint project of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Commission, will provide safe, cost effective, accessible, reliable, convenient, and customer responsive commuter-oriented rail passenger service. VRE contributes to the economic vitality of its member jurisdictions as an integral part of a balanced, intermodal regional transportation system. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO – DOUG ALLEN This fall, VRE has been completing major improvement and safety projects including final preparation for the opening of Spotsylvania Station. This will become the new end-of-the-line station on the Fredericksburg Line and the first extension of VRE service since operations began in 1992. Commencement of VRE service in Spotsylvania will begin the morning of November 16. The station has 1,500 parking spaces and should considerably ease parking congestion at the Fredericksburg Station. To provide increased capacity on the Fredericksburg Line, an additional morning and evening train is planned to begin operating prior to the end of 2015. The station would not have been possible without the vision, dedication and leadership of Gary Skinner, VRE’s current Vice-Chairman and Spotsylvania County Supervisor. In anticipation of the commencement of VRE service at the Spotsylvania Station, VRE staff, Spotsylvania County Fire and Rescue, CSX and the Federal Railroad Administration have been involved to provide first responders a number of training OUR opportunities to ensure they are not only prepared in the event of an emergency, but know how to ensure their own safety if called upon. A full-scale emergency simulation at the new Spotsylvania Station platform occurred on October 31.

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.

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.

  • Authorization to Issue a GEC VII Task Order for Design Services for Alexandria Station Improvements
    Agenda Item 10-A Action Item To: Chair Cristol and the VRE Operations Board From: Doug Allen Date: January 18, 2019 Re: Authorization to Issue a GEC VII Task Order for Design Services for Alexandria Station Improvements Recommendation: The VRE Operations Board is asked to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to issue a GEC VII Task Order to HDR Engineering, Inc. for Design Services: Alexandria Station Improvements in the amount of $812,000, plus a 10% contingency of $81,200, for a total not to exceed $893,200. Summary: The Alexandria Station Improvements project will remove the existing at-grade pedestrian crossing of two tracks and construct major renovations of platforms to provide ADA-compliant access to both the station (west) platform and the center (east) platform. The scope of services for this task order covers the design of these improvements. Background: Alexandria Union Station, which serves both VRE and Amtrak trains, requires significant investment to improve passenger safety and accessibility as well as operational flexibility. VRE has three primary objectives at Alexandria: 1) eliminate the existing at-grade crossing while ensuring safe and ADA-compliant access to the center platform; 2) modify both the center and station platform heights to achieve FRA- and CSXT-required clearances, meet ADA requirements, and eliminate the need for step boxes; and 3) allow passenger trains to serve the station on any of three tracks. The original Alexandria Station Pedestrian Tunnel project planned to achieve the objective of eliminating the at-grade pedestrian crossing by constructing a new pedestrian tunnel underneath the rail right-of-way, parallel to the existing century-old tunnel.
