Train Utilization Trends

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, VRE is operating at a reduced service level. Only the trains shown below are operating at this time.

---

The average VRE car has 130 seats. However, due to our social distancing measures, only 45 of those seats are currently available. Take a close look at a railcar with our interactive tour. 

Average ridership per train is shown below. Use this information to find which trains offer the greatest opportunities to distance.

As of now, we can add many more passengers per train while still easily supporting social distancing. We will add cars to trains and/or run additional trains as riders begin to return. 

Ridership is updated each week and is current as of April 16, 2021.
