In July 2025, the VRE System Plan 2050 and Service Vision was adopted by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) and the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), who jointly own and operate VRE.
Developed over a period of twenty-two months with extensive input from the public, stakeholders, and partner agencies, the VRE System Plan 2050 identifies strategic priorities that support VRE’s mission to provide safe, reliable, and convenient commuter rail service in Northern Virginia and beyond. The plan lays the foundation for future service expansion, infrastructure investments, and enhanced regional connectivity to meet the region's evolving transportation needs as populations grow and travel behaviors shift.
Learn more about the plan and the projects underway to support the increased levels of service envisioned for VRE between 2030 and 2050 in the resources below.
