Train Utilization Trends

The average VRE car has 130 seats. We monitor ridership daily and update our train utilization rates each Friday. Use this information to find trains offering the greatest opportunities to distance.

Ridership information, which is updated each Friday, is current as of September 30, 2022. VRE has relaxed capacity limits on station platforms and onboard trains, so social distancing is no longer required but can still be observed while ridership is low.

Effective immediately, VRE passengers and crew members will no longer be required to wear a mask onboard the train.

Masks are optional and VRE will continue to support those passengers and crew members who wish to wear a mask.

We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation while the mask mandate was in effect.
