Mission Statement

To educate and advocate for the expansion of fast, frequent, and reliable passenger rail service in Virginia.

About This Cause

Virginians for High Speed Rail is a 501 (C) (3) not-for-profit coalition of citizens, businesses, localities, community organizations, and economic development agencies that educate and advocate for the expansion of fast, frequent, and reliable rail service connecting our communities to destinations along the eastern seaboard to increase the economic potential of the Commonwealth. We were founded in 1994 as a partnership between the RVA Chamber and the Future of Hampton Roads. We want to triple the number of Amtrak trains serving Virginia; we want to reduce travel times by at least 35 percent; we want to increase on-time performance to over 90 percent; and we want to connect over 85 percent of Virginians.
