Ridership on Virginia Railway Express continues to decline in the most populated jurisdictions served by the commuter rail service.

Today, the commuter railroad operations board met at the OmniRide transit center in Woodbridge for its monthly meeting and discussed the results of its November 2022 ridership survey. The questionnaire asks riders where they live and where they usually board the trains.

According to the data reported today, ridership in Fairfax County (1.2 million population) is down 3%, down 2% in Prince William County (465,000 people), and down by about 1.5% in Stafford County (157,000 population).
