Signs of a thriving region? #ThatsTransit 🚆 VRE joined @apta-info.bsky.social on the Hill today to advocate for federal transit funding. Every $1 invested in public transit generates $5 for the economy. It's not just a smart investment—it's a necessary one. Thanks to our reps for their time today!

VRE Riders - Thank you for your patience this morning, September 3, as our trains experienced significant delays due to signal issues just south of Alexandria. CSX has repaired the malfunctioning switch, and it is not anticipated to cause any issues during this afternoon's service.

Save on the trip there, so you can spend more when you get there. ☀️🚆
