Northern Virginia
“Virginia Railway Express ridership has grown to the point
where seats can be hard to find. The commuter rail service expects demand to
grow and is looking for ways to keep up. That’s where the VRE system plan comes
into play.
The Operations Board and its staff started work on the plan
last year. On Friday, the board approved the plan, which looks forward to the
year 2040 and includes adding new trains. VRE officials expect that the
commuter rail ridership could double by 2040, according to the plan. Currently,
VRE handles an average of more than 19,000 rider trips on weekdays.”
