VPRA Board advances
agreement with Norfolk
Southern Corporation to
purchase Manassas Line,
gain access to N-Line
▶The Virginia Passenger Rail
Authority's (VPRA) Board of Directors
voted to advance a new agreement
with Norfolk Southern Corporation
to purchase the Manassas Line and
gain access to Norfolk Southern's
main line (N-Line), which will increase
passenger rail options for thousands
of Virginians. Through the new
agreement, VPRA will have the ability
to extend its state-supported Amtrak
Virginia service to the New River
Valley sooner and at a lower cost than
originally planned. In addition, the
purchase of the Manassas Line will
enable VPRA to increase the Virginia
Railway Express' Manassas Line
service in the future with additional
frequencies, including evening and
weekend options.

agreed to extend its pilot agreement
that allows almost seven miles of
bus-only lanes on state roads within
Montgomery County, Md., through at
least December. The bus-only lanes
along Georgia Avenue and Colesville
Road were installed this summer to
help move shuttle bus customers
along faster during the Red Line construction
work. WMATA closed a section
of the Red Line to allow construction
crews to build connections with
the Maryland Transit Administration's
Purple Line light-rail project.
