Creating a unified brand and fare policy for the Washington region's commuter rail systems could help reduce travel times and improve economic development opportunities over the next few decades, according to a new report released Thursday.
“Our rail system is fragmented, and that fragmentation limits our ability to connect residents to opportunities,” he added.
The key elements of the group's vision for commuter rail service are:
- Bidirectional run-through service, meaning a passenger can travel throughout the region without changing trains.
- Expanded service, including all-day service on MARC and VRE lines and increased frequency of trains.
- Seamless rider experience, with one brand and fare policy across the network.
- Superior operational coordination, with one operationally integrated network.
