Procurement/Contracts Amtrak spent $119,258,616 on goods and services in Virginia in FY14. Most of this was in the following locations: City Amount Alexandria $ 2,364,097 Burke $ 7,626,293 Chantilly $ 3,422,179 Chesapeake $ 2,956,425 Fairfax $ 9,174,826 Herndon $ 6,029,038 McLean $ 27,625,967 Oakton $ 25,264,705 Reston $ 19,779,286 Virginia Beach $ 2,841,213 Employment At the end of FY14, Amtrak employed 852 Virginia residents. Total wages of Amtrak employees living in Virginia were $77,156,249 during FY14. PRIIA Section 209 and State-Assisted Services The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) required, by October 2013, an equitable arrangement of cost sharing between Amtrak and state or public agency partners that provide funding for short-distance, intercity train services. During the 2013 regular session of the Virginia General Assembly, the previously authorized Intercity Passenger Rail Operating and Capital Fund (IPROC) was funded with a dedicated mechanism through legislation that called for restructuring the existing state sales tax. This fund is used by the Department of Rail and Public Transportation to support both the operation of the Amtrak Virginia services and qualifying intrastate capital needs for rail infrastructure. The IPROC legislation is the first known dedicated funding source to be created by a state 2 to support intercity passenger rail operations and capital projects. Subsequently, agreements were reached with all parties, including Virginia, by the 2013 deadline, and the services continued to run without interruption. State Partnerships On December 12, 2012, Amtrak and the DRPT inaugurated service to Petersburg and Norfolk from Washington and Richmond. This new daily service brought Amtrak service back to Norfolk for the first time since 1977. On January 9, 2014, then-Governor Bob McDonnell announced plans to bring Amtrak service to Roanoke. Capital improvements have to be made to the Norfolk Southern route from Lynchburg and a new facility is needed in Roanoke. Plans call for the service to begin sometime in 2016. Station/Facility Improvements Clifton Forge: Amtrak has endorsed a plan by the Town of Clifton Forge and the Chesapeake & Ohio Historical Society to move the station to a newly constructed C&O replica station located on the Society’s museum grounds. When complete, it will be outfitted with an ADA accessible waiting room, restrooms and a new platform. The current station is in a CSX building in a yard area. Norfolk: During 2013, the City built a new, $3.75-million station next to the platform that had been served by Northeast Regional trains and Newport News-Virginia Beach Thruway buses since December 2012. The station opened on December 2, 2013. The site is on the east edge of downtown, adjacent to a light rail stop and the ballpark. 3 AMTRAK ROUTES IN TO PITTSBURGH Capitol Limi VIRGINIA Martinsburg ted Harpers Ferry G ore Frederick Lovettsville E TRACK OWNERSHIP Winchester R Berryville O M Rockville I S tephens C ity C larke Leesburg T Amtrak NS L Boyce L oudoun A S trasburg B UP CP Middletown Herndon Middleburg Arcola O Northeast Corridor Woodstock Toms Arlington T Brook Front R oyal The P lains Fairfax BNSF CN S henandoah Warren Basye E dinburg Washington CSX Other Mount Jackson Manassas Fairfax Alexandria Washington Franconia-Springfield Luray Timberville Warrenton P age Jeffersonton P rince William R appahannock Fauquier Broadway S tanley Nethers C ulpeper Dale C ity Burke Centre Linville R emington Dumfries Lorton Harrisonburg S henandoah Culpeper Quantico S yria G oldvein Woodbridge Monterey E lkton Madis on S tafford Bridgewater R ockingham Lignum S tafford Highland McDowell Mount C rawford Madison Mustoe Augus ta Orange Fredericksburg Mount S idney S tanardsville King G eorge G rottoes G reene P aytes K ing G eorge C olonial Beach Staunton Orange S potsylvania Index Williamsville P ort R oyal C rimora Albemarle G uinea Brokenburg C raigsville C aroline Montross Jolivue Waynesboro G ordonsville S pots ylvania Wes tmoreland Bowling G reen Warm S prings Cardinal Louisa Ladysmith Kinsale RR E s s ex Lewisetta Millboro G oshen S tuarts Draft B B ath B Mineral Warsaw ON C hincoteague Clifton Hewlett Tappahannock Heathsville R Charlottesville Apple G rove R uther G len R ichmond Vesuvius Burgess S axis Accomack BR Rockbridge C ovesville P auls C rossroads Northumberland Forge B Fairfield Alberene P almyra L ouis a Tangier C ovington Lexington Nels on S cottsville Hanover C enter C ross R eedville Bloxom S chuyler Lancaster P arksley Fluvanna C olumbia Hanover K ing and Queen K ing William Accomac G len Wilton Lovingston lsNew C anton G oochland King and Queen L ancas ter Onancock Alleghany Buena Vista a G oochland Ashland Kilmarnock Arvonia G len Allen King William C ourt House E agle R ock G lasgow Arrington Urbanna White S tone O CHARLEST Oriskany Amhers t ion C umberland Staples Mill Keller T Amherst Buckingham Main St. Re S aluda Middles ex Wachapreague B otetourt P owhatanRichmond gio Deltaville E xmore P aint Bank G ladstone Reg Montrose New Kent G wynn Buchanan Monroe Toga Dillwyn P owhatan Wneast PlGosilnotuces ter New C astle Fincastle C umberland Mathews Nassawadox B uckingham Henrico New K ent Mathews C raig Daleville Appomattox G loucester Northampton P eterstown Kire Amelia C ourt C hula C harles C ity Abbott Troutville Bellwood Toano S usan Bedford Lynchburg House C hesterfield C harles C ity E astville P earisburg Hopewell J ames C ity Harman Narrows S alem B edford C ity Timberlake C ampbell Appomattox C hes terfield Williamsburg P ocahontas Vinton R ice Amelia Achilles G rundy G iles Blacksburg Farmville C heriton R oanoke B edford R ustburg P amplin C olonial Heights P rince G eorge Yorktown C ape C harles B uchanan Bluefield Burkeville B land P arrott Montgomery R oanoke Moneta E vington C rewe York Haysi Jewell R idge R adford G ladys P rince E dward P rince G eorge Amonate Nottoway S urry P oquoson Bastian Naruna C ullen Petersburg C lintwood R ichlands Tazewell Boones Mill Dinwiddie S urry C hristiansburg C harlotte C ourt House Wis e Dickens on Tazewell Bland P ulaski Dublin Altavista Brookneal Blackstone C edar Bluff R iner Franklin Dinwiddie P ulas ki S impsons Drakes Branch Victoria Waverly Wise RHuonsaskerll P enhook Lunenburg S us s ex Newport News Hampton C oeburn R ocky Mount G retna Kenbridge McKenney S tony C reek Is le of Wight Broadford Wythe Hiwassee scent C harlotte Wakefield Lebanon Wytheville Floyd Fort Mitchell Big S tone G ap Norton Ferrum P itts ylvania Veolens Halifax Austinville Floyd L unenburg Alberta S ussex Ivor Norfolk Virginia Beach C astlewood S altville Marion R ural R etreat Henry C lover Isle of Wight Atkins C allands C hatham Cr C rystal Hill B runs wick J arratt Yale S ebrell C hesapeake P ennington G ap E mory S myth Hillsville Halifax C hase C ity Lawrenceville Windsor P ortsmouth Nickelsville C hilhowie Woolwine Henry Dry Fork S cottsburg Virginia B each C ity Abingdon Fries Bassett S outh Hill C ourtland S cott Was hington Trout Dale Martinsville S outh Boston E mporia C ity C apron C hes apeake C ity Duffield G rays on C arroll P atrick Blairs Mecklenburg S uffolk L ee Jonesville Wallace S tuart La C rosse E mporia Damascus Independence Brosville Boydton S outhampton Franklin S uffolk C ity G ate C ity Bristol G alax Ararat Bracey Triplet G reens ville R idgeway Danville C larksville Branchville Newsoms Whaleyville Whitetop Virgilina Boykins TO GREENSBORO Palmetto TO ROCKY MOUNT Silver Star Auto Train Carolinian Silver Meteor --Amtrak Government Affairs, fall 2012.

  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

Its eight commuter rail operators deliver hundreds of thousands of workers to some of the most productive economic centers in the country each day.
