VRE Passengers
On an average weekday there are about 16,000 passenger trips
on VRE. This means 16,000 pairs of eyes. VRE reminds our passengers to
contact a VRE conductor if they notice:
- Unattended packages
- Suspicious behavior
- People in bulky, seasonally inappropriate clothing
- Exposed wiring or other irregularities on luggage
- Anyone tampering with surveillance cameras or entering unauthorized areas
- Trust your INSTINCTS – If SOMETHING DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT – Alert a VRE Conductor!
Please take a moment to become familiar with what to do in an “On
Board Emergency” in addition to our basic Passenger
Safety Guide.
VRE invites passengers to volunteer as victims in our annual full scale
emergency simulations, which are conducted by VRE.
In addition, VRE invites riders to become a member of CAST, which stands
for Commuter Awareness for Safe Travel. CAST is VRE's initiative to
remind passengers that when it comes to safety and security onboard,
they play a leading role.
To show your membership, request a CAST luggage tag to label your belongings. Not only does it allow VRE's Lost Items department to reunite you with your bag sooner, but provides peace of mind regarding bags left unattended on the train. To request a tag, please email VRE.
If you see a practice that you feel may be unsafe, please report it to your conductor or to VRE. All safety and security concerns are sent directly to our Manager of Safety and Security.
You're our eyes and ears and we want to know what you see!
