A survey has been launched to get perspectives of residents, business owners, farmers and commuters on the future of rail in Virginia.
The survey will remain open through March 27, and participants will be able to help set the priorities for the Commonwealth.
The 2026 Virginia Statewide Rail Plan will outline a short-term and long-term investment strategies for the next two decades.
Questions will highlight potential improvements to passenger rail service as well as freight rail considerations, including impacts at highway rail crossings.
Respondents are also invited to share their perspectives on key strategies to enhance passenger and freight rail service statewide.
In addition to the survey, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation will partner with the University of Virginia’s Institute for Engagement and Negotiation to host a series of public meetings.
The meetings will provide an opportunity to review survey findings and gather additional feedback on how Virginians would like to see the rail system evolve.
Participants may provide their email address at the end of the survey to receive updates and invitations to these upcoming events.
