Transforming Rail in Virginia
Amtrak's state-supported service in Virginia is funded, in part, by the Commonwealth of Virginia and managed by the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA). This consists of eight daily, roundtrip Amtrak Virginia Northeast Regional trains. These publicly funded trains originate in Roanoke, Norfolk, Newport News and Richmond and continue onto Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, offering a one-seat ride to destinations like Boston, Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, DC. On the flip side, they provide the Northeast with easy access to Virginia and points south.
Transforming Rail in Virginia is a forward-thinking rail plan designed to increase and enhance passenger rail service in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) was created by the General Assembly in 2020 to oversee TRV and to promote, sustain, and expand the availability of passenger and commuter rail service in the Commonwealth.
Designed to address the state’s ever-growing traffic problem, TRV is changing the future of rail transportation in Virginia by acquiring railroad right-of-way, increasing rail capacity, and reworking passenger and freight operations to improve reliability and increase rail service. The long-term goal is to separate freight and passenger rail to improve the service of both while developing an attractive solution for citizens eager for an alternative to driving on consistently congested highways and interstates.
Currently VPRA is building necessary infrastructure to increase the number of state-supported Amtrak Virginia trains operating in the state. When the current construction phase is complete in 2030, the state will fund 13 Amtrak Virginia roundtrips, up from today’s eight, resulting in generational changes in passenger rail for Virginians.
