Newsletter

One way VRE disseminates information is through two different types of on-train publications - seat notices and the VRE Update. The seat notice typically includes urgent information regarding: policies, special events and schedule changes.

The VRE Update is a monthly newsletter designed to inform riders of VRE service information as well as other transportation matters. Below are the most recent seat notices and VRE Updates that have been distributed on the trains. For older issues, please visit our archive page.

Suggestions by riders for items to be placed on future VRE Updates may be submitted by e-mail. Also, if you are interested in advertising, visit our advertising page.
