Where should Virginia’s rail network go next?

Your input can help shape the answer. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) invites you to take the second phase of the 2026 Statewide Rail Plan Survey and share your priorities for passenger and freight rail.

Whether you ride the train, rely on rail to move goods, or want better connections for your community, we want to hear from you. The survey takes 5-10 minutes and asks which strategies Virginia should prioritize to improve passenger and freight rail service.

Take the survey here (available now until Early November): https://virginia.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5vih7iWENoCPFB4?Q_CHL=qr
