The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority was established in 2020 to promote, sustain, and expand the availability of passenger and commuter rail services in the Commonwealth.
VPRA is acquiring railroad right-of-way and building infrastructure to expand passenger rail throughout Virginia through its Transforming Rail in Virginia initiative. VPRA is also committed to delivering and expanding its state-supported Amtrak Virginia passenger rail service.
The Commonwealth of Virginia launched a state-supported passenger rail service in 2009, with one round trip between Washington, D.C. and Lynchburg, Virginia. Since then, the service has grown to include eight round trips daily, with stops at 17 stations along four corridors.
