Good news for VRE riders. VRE does not plan to raise fares next year. The last time they raised fares was before the pandemic. I know MARC raised fares this year and it looks like WMATA will raise fares next year.
Despite the slower than expected return of ridership following the COVID-19 pandemic, the recommended budget is balanced, with no funding gap, and with all projected uses of funding in FY 2024 supported by reasonably
expected sources of funding. The FY 2024 budget includes no changes to passenger fares as compared to FY 2023 and a total jurisdictional subsidy contribution of $18.3 million
