What is the Study?
Frequently Asked Questions
T
When will service begin?
he Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is conducting a Feasibility Study/Alternatives Analysis
for a proposed new branch of service, approximately eleven (11) miles in length. This
study
s
is being done to evaluate the feasibility and
desirability
of adding this new branch of service,
d
as
a well as to meet the requirements of the Federal
Transit
Administration (FTA) for potential project
T
funding.
This new branch may potentially run
f
from
the existing Manassas Station in the City
f
of
o Manassas to the Town of Haymarket, located
in Prince William County, Virginia, along Norfolk
Southern’s
“B” Line and may potentially include
S
up to three new stations.
VRE is in the early stages of researching the feasibility of adding this new branch of service.
As such, a date for the start of this proposed new service has not yet been determined.
Where will stations/stops be located?
VRE is in the process of conducting a feasibility study/alternatives analysis for adding
this new branch of service. This study involves creating screening criteria for evaluating
potential station/stop sites. The screening criteria are being established, but no sites have
been selected.
Is the project funded for construction?
As part of the feasibility study/alternatives analysis, VRE is exploring a variety of alternatives,
including cost estimates for each of these alternatives. Specific funding sources will be
identified once a preferred alternative is selected.
Project Schedule
Will new track be needed?
The project is scheduled to run from April 2008 to March 2009. In addition to the technical
studies and reviews, there will be several opportunities for your input.
There is existing track but there is a possibility that additional track may be needed. This
could be determined at the conclusion of the feasibility study/alternatives analysis.
