Virginia Passenger Rail Service
Imagine a future for all Virginians with less traffic
congestion, less dependency upon foreign oil, less pollution of the air and
more choices how to travel between home, business, shopping and
recreation.
Dependable, convenient intercity passenger rail service can
and should be a larger part of this picture. We must invest in a future
transportation network that includes a greater role for passenger rail, as
well as greater reliance on rail for hauling freight.
As a member of Governor Mark Warner’s
Commission on Rail Enhancement for the 21st Century, past President
of the Virginia Transit Association, and Board member of Virginians for High
Speed Rail, I have experience to lend to this effort.
I am working with local citizens, government officials,
business leaders, tourism and transportation officials to develop reliable,
daily passenger rail service between Charlottesville, VA and Washington, D.C.
We have formed Charlottesville Citizens for Better Rail Alternatives to
advance this cause. You can learn more by visiting our website at
