Virginia Rail Services launch savings campaign and fall foliage tours

Virginia Railway Express (VRE) has begun a #VREMakesCents campaign aimed at reducing commuters' transportation costs. The initiative highlights the potential to save thousands of dollars annually by using VRE’s single‑trip, 10‑trip, and monthly tickets, and promotes the “Kids Ride Free” program. VRE CEO Katie Choe said the program helps families keep more money in their pockets while easing congestion and supporting a healthier environment.

At the same time, the Virginia Scenic Railway is promoting its popular autumn excursions through the Shenandoah Valley. The multi‑hour trips depart from historic Staunton and showcase the region’s fall colors, offering tourists a seasonal rail experience that complements the commuter service’s community focus.
