The Greater Washington Partnership is unveiling its plan for a regional rail system that would connect DC, Maryland, and Virginia seamlessly. The plan would convert the MARC and VRE commuter rail systems to a network of high-frequency all-day services.

A Maryland resident would be able to ride MARC commuter trains to a job in Northern Virginia, and a Virginia resident could catch the Virginia Railway Express on the weekends, then travel to Baltimore in a one-fare, one-seat trip as part of plan that aims to transform the region’s rail network.
