DRPT, Amtrak report more people taking the train
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation says more people are riding on most of the Amtrak routes in the Commonwealth.
According to a release, this reflects a demand for safe, reliable and comfortable transportation alternatives.
The DRPT supports the operation of six Amtrak trains in Virginia that connect the Roanoke Valley, Central Virginia and Hampton Roads to Washington, D.C. and the northeast.
