Welcome. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) is investigating improved passenger rail service between Richmond and Hampton Roads to ultimately connect to the Southeast, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions as an extension of the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor (SEHSR). DRPT has examined potential routes and possible environmental impacts for more frequent conventional service and higher speed rail service. The draft report (Tier 1 Draft EIS) is complete and available for public review and comment online and in regional libraries. Three identical Public hearings will be held in the project area and announced through e-mail, newspaper advertisements, and press releases to regional media.
Your involvement is an essential component of project development. We encourage you to review the Tier 1 Draft EIS and provide feedback and comments on this important regional passenger rail project.
