    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.

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.

    Part I: Setting the Stage Setting the Stage In 2007, the City Council adopted a Vision Statement to guide Fredericksburg toward its 300th anniversary in 2028. This Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for the community to attain that vision – addressing current conditions, defining goals for the future, and providing strategies that reconcile the existing conditions and the City’s desired outcomes. This Part I of the Comprehensive Plan sets the stage with a clear statement of vision, a brief overview of what a comprehensive is supposed to be, and a presentation of facts that provide a community profile. Preface Chapter 1: Vision and Comprehensive Plan Overview Chapter 2: Fredericksburg: A Community Profile 1 Preface Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 2014 This Comprehensive Plan has been prepared to guide decision making. It is to be used to help the City of Fredericksburg move forward in a manner that embraces local values and achieves the City’s vision for itself. The Fredericksburg City Council adopted its last comprehensive plan in 2007. A year later, the nation experienced a severe economic downturn that had a tremendous impact on the available revenues that are used to cover local government costs. The local real estate market dropped, although not as significantly as it did in some parts of the country, due to the City’s favorable location as a part of the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Still, some area housing lost value and many local businesses are still trying to recover. At this time, the City is beginning to see renewed investment in the community and this revised Plan renews the City’s policies to guide the anticipated growth.

The Technical Advisory Committee members extensively reviewed and discussed the recommendations of this study. In preparing the recommendations, the TAC reviewed the scope, inputs, demand modeling, and results of the study at every stage. The committee members who represent the interested jurisdictions and agencies agreed with the final recommendations of the study. The committee members include: • Jim Maslanka of City of Alexandria; • Tamara Ashby and Lynn Rivers of Arlington County; • Randall White and Jaak Pedak of Fairfax County; • Kathleen Beck of Fredericksburg Regional Transit (FRED); • Lloyd Robinson and Diana Utz of the George Washington Regional Commission (GWRC)/ Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO); • Don McAuslan of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG); • Rick Taube of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC); • Alfred Harf and Eric Marx of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC); • Sara Woolfenden and Fulton deLamorton of Stafford County; • Phyllis Kaplan of the U.S.

    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.
