  • 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.

  • BURKE CENTRE NOW an AMTRAK STOP Tickets May Be Booked on Amtrak.Com
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATK-10-007 January 14, 2009 Contact: Jennifer Pickett DRPT 804 786.7432 [email protected] Karina Romero Amtrak 202 906.3860 [email protected] BURKE CENTRE NOW AN AMTRAK STOP Tickets may be booked on Amtrak.com RICHMOND & WASHINGTON, D.C. – Beginning January 18, Amtrak Virginia passengers have one more option when traveling on Amtrak’s Northeast Regional service from Lynchburg as the Burke Centre station becomes an Amtrak stop. Previously the station only provided connecting service for Virginia Railway Express passengers. With this new designation, passengers may now book travel to and from Burke Centre on Amtrak.com. “By adding Burke Centre to the Amtrak system, the rail travel possibilities from central Virginia are significantly enhanced,” said Jay McArthur of Amtrak’s Policy and Development Department, noting that passengers may now book travel to and from Burke Centre to any of the more than 500 stations Amtrak serves. “With this new stop in Fairfax County, we’re providing better access to Amtrak service in one of the most densely populated counties in Virginia,” said Charles M. Badger, Director of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. The Northeast Regional service between Lynchburg and the Northeast Corridor now has Virginia stops in Charlottesville, Culpeper, Manassas, Burke Centre and Alexandria. The stop at L’Enfant Plaza will continue to provide connecting service for Virginia Railway Express passengers. With the new rail service, which began October, 1, 2009, a passenger can now travel directly from Lynchburg to destinations as far north as Boston and never have to change trains.

  • 2017 Edition of the Comprehensive Plan
    FAIRFAX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, 2017 Edition AREA III Pohick Planning District, Amended through 11-20-2018 Overview Page 1 POHICK PLANNING DISTRICT OVERVIEW The Pohick Planning District is located in the southwest portion of Fairfax County. This planning district is generally bounded by Braddock Road, Rolling Road, Hooes Road, the Occoquan River, Union Mill Road and Compton Road (see Figure 1). The Pohick Planning District is approximately 49,000 acres in size, which comprises 19 percent of the county. Major road access is via Braddock Road, Rolling Road, Old Keene Mill Road, Ox Road (Route 123), Fairfax County Parkway (Route 286), and Clifton Road. In this planning district, the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) regional/commuter rail service operates along the Manassas Line which carries passengers between Broad Run/Manassas Regional Airport to Union Station in Washington, DC. There are two VRE stations in the Pohick Planning District. Rolling Road Station is located on Burke Road west of Rolling Road, and Burke Center Station is located at Roberts Parkway south of Guinea Road. The Pohick Planning District is composed of two important watersheds. These are the Occoquan River, with tributaries draining west from Ox Road, and Pohick Creek, with tributaries draining east from Ox Road. Both watersheds drain to the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. With the exception of a relatively small area within the southeastern portion of the Pohick Planning District, the entirety of the Occoquan watershed within this planning district drains into the Occoquan Reservoir. The Pohick Planning District is primarily a residential area. Generally, the area east of Ox Road has developed predominantly with single-family detached houses and townhouses, as well as supporting commercial and institutional uses.

INTRODUCTION The Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is soliciting Quotes to establish a firm-fixed price Purchase Order with one (1) qualified and experienced Contractor to perform a Payment Card Industry (PCI) audit and to assess PCI compliance for VRE. B. VRE BACKGROUND 1. VRE is a commuter rail service linking the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. The Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) and the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC) are transportation districts established under Virginia law and jointly own this service. An Operations Board consisting of members from each of the jurisdictions within the VRE service area governs the development and operation of VRE and serves as an advisory board to the NVTC and PRTC governing boards. Use of the term VRE in this RFQ refers to NVTC and PRTC. 2. VRE began operations in 1992 and carries an average of approximately 19,000 weekday trips on two (2) lines. In January 2014, VRE’s Operations Board adopted System Plan 2040 which calls for expansion of service, requiring the addition of rail cars, expansion of station and maintenance and storage facilities, as well as expanding operations to meet the goal of doubling ridership by 2040.
