NOTE: June 2023 ridership includes eight daily roundtrips, up from just five in June 2022. Last July three roundtrips were added – one to Roanoke and one to Norfolk. The third, to Newport News, was the resumption of service cancelled due to the pandemic. 'These record-setting ridership numbers reflect the need for more investment in passenger rail in the Commonwealth,' said DJ Stadtler, Executive Director of VPRA. 'With planned infrastructure improvements from Northern Virginia into Washington, DC including a new bridge across the Potomac River, new investment will benefit not only Virginians but also, those traveling to and from our nation's capital and along the east coast.
